I have a tape where he commentates with Weenie Bernie and tell him, "You'd be a great coach for someone, really. Too bad you can't execute worth a shit". :) I may have the wording slightly off.

Weird. The Mike Sigel decal looks like the ones on the Joss Cues of the era (I had a "Mike Sigel"Jos s with that logo) but I thought all the Joss cues in that era had "Joss" on the joint ring and if there were points they were rounded. I guess the logo could be duplicated. To be honest, I dig...

For where you're at right now, I would say focus on the basics, mechanics and just pocketing balls. If you're trying to look for stuff all on line, look for videos on stance, stroke, bridges, etc. I found some basic books to be very helpful when I got started 30 years ago. 99 Critical Shots by...

I used to play in a lot of cheap ring games with mandatory sharking. We said horrible stuff to each other, but it was all in good fun and it was easier to fade because we were expecting it. I got really good at shaking off the usual insults, but one time right as I was about to shoot one of the...

Not sure if he's around here, but I believe the Terry runs the Huebler Cue Fan Page Facebook group. It's a great resource for us Huebler fans. You might try checking there if no one can help you here. https://www.facebook.com/hueblercue

I had a good friend from high school (still one of my best friends) that had a business selling cues on the side. This was 1993. He helped me get my first cue, sent me a bunch of brochures to look at, etc. and I decided I really wanted a Huebler AS-H5. I'm no 100% the was the name of it then...

Well this is just sad. I started playing pool at the student rec center at Virginia Commonwealth University (Gandy Big 8's) back in the 90's and was a billiard instructor at Montana State University (mostly 9 foot Gold Crowns with a lonely 8ft snuck in) about 13 or so years ago. Thankfully they...

I like using a cheap break-jump for convenience. Do any pool rooms now still have Dufferin house cues? Those seemed to both play and break better than the Valley ones I see everywhere now. I was real comfortable breaking with those, especially at my "home" room where I knew where my favorite was...

I thought it was a fun match to watch. Not often I get to watch high level one pocket live for free. I didn't catch what time the SVB-Filler match is happening. Anyone know?

I got a deal on a set of the bronze about 4 years ago and absolutely love them. My set I was using previously took marks of the pockets. The Dynasphere balls never do. They seem to stay cleaner in general, I haven't had to do anything with them beyond wiping them down with a damp rag or one with...

Just looked, we're at 21 here in Belgrade and supposed to get up to 37! I think that's warmer than they were saying. Maybe I'll drive into Bozeman this weekend and play on the Gold Crowns at the University. :)

I really only play with basic 4 point players. I have a strong preference for sharp points, but can stomach rounded points on an old Joss or Schon like the one I've had 30 years. I do like a pretty piece of maple in the forend but also like the simple look of the old Balabushka cues with the...

Hang in there, Rusty! I'm in South Western MT. Warmer here, we're already up to 5! Supposed to warm up here this weekend and even get above freezing. Looking forward to it!

Most of the videos I've seen of him playing he has a Meucci, but most of the videos came around the late 80's which is a tiny fragment of his career. I think all the matches on the "Danny Diliberto, Legend of Pool" DVD and the the Ronnie Allen challenge match he has a Meucci. There's an...

My mistake, don't know where I got 5/16x14 in my head.

Very cool cue. I had a friend in the 90's that played with a similar old Palmer and I always thought it hit great. Mensabum is right about the ferrule, probably gone. I'm pretty sure most all of the old Palmer's use a 5/16x14 pin so you should be able to use any shaft with that pin, 314 or...

I was in my local USPS office in Belgrade, MT this December to check on a lost package. A lot of folks were coming in looking to buy Christmas stamps. The dude working the counter told them "We ordered them over a month ago. They shipped but they've been stuck at the Billings office for 10 days...

Thank you. That was exactly the kind of description I was asking for.

Great but sad read. Read this one before and also about Waterdog in Playing off the Rail. Since some of you guys saw him play, can I ask what his game looked like? Never heard anyone really describe it other than the article saying he had a good cue ball. Would love to hear more about his game...

Sorry, was so excited to see this thread I missed that part. :) Done.
