I'm not a member of this team. I don't have what they need to win something like this. I do have more to post about this team and what it takes for a team from one of the smallest APA franchises to win so often, but wanted to wait for a few responses first.

Hooray for the APA 8-ball team champs from Topeka Kansas. This is the 3rd national champs we've crowned since 2004. Can any other region boast this accomplishment?

I stopped into Table Steaks South last spring. Hoping to run into Samm and play a couple of games, but she was at a tournament somewhere up in the north part of town. The day we were there the conditions of the tables left a lot to be desired. The cloth was worn out and torn on several of the...

I've seen less class from most sl7's when they lose to a sl5. I'm a APA sl5 and have beat a couple sl7s. It's a 5-3 race and if you give me three times at the table I'm gonna win the game. If you're upset with that then don't give your opponents a turn at the table. Don't go telling me I'm...

Doug, Great to hear you are finally making the move. Been awhile in the making and I hope its a profitable one for you. I know I have some cue work for you to do and will start telling everyone they need to go to Shooters to have their cue work done by you. Duane

Bill, That is a really sweet looking cue. Duane

Kevin, Thanks for the kind comments. I too love it. I have been playing with it almost nonstop during my free time. My former cue was a Meucci HOF-2 with an OB1 shaft and I really liked the hit of the OB1, but I got to say that this cue feels even better than my Meucci/OB1. I asked Bob to...

I met with Bob Owen on June 28 to talk about building a southwest style four point cue for me. While waiting for Gabe to play Joey Grey in the finals of the one pocket tournament at Shooter's in Olatha, Bob and I talked about what I wanted in a custom cue. I have always liked the fancy SW...

sandbagging at its best Did any of you play Nothin Personal from Topeka, KS in the 8 open? This team finishes in 5th place at the national tournament but dead last in their summer 2008 session. In the past three years this same team, or at least four members have finished 1st (Bankers and...

Craig, I sent you a pm. Hopefully it will clarify things for. Didn't see your post until this Sunday morning because I was in Olatha watching Gabe Owen win the 1-pocket event at the midwest 9-ball tour stop. Have a great day. Duane

All I was inferring was that both parties stated contradictory things which make the whole issue confusing. Duane

So much confusion; who to believe? Am I the only one thats unclear about who is to be believed in this saga? Varney quote from another thread: He waited longer than the 7 months you've been waiting I assure you. Trying to turn this thread into a "who got theirs first" doesn't get your cue any...

My wife and I checked out Bank Shot Billiards last January while we were at the DCC. Its a very nice, traditional pool hall and you don't have to post your money on the light, they still have the bank vault. All I saw were Diamond table and not very many people on an early Saturday afternoon...

He must be 'the Hedgehog' from her blog. At least he seems to have the same character as hedgehog.

do you feel all manly now that you think you've outted her? You seem to feel it necessary to hide behind a profile handle. At least its appropriate "ZERO"

Troy, Great doing business with you. Looking forward to trying out a J&J JB cue. Duane

I'm a lurker I admit: I'm a lurker on this forum. I check it out every day for useful pool related posts, but rarely post. Doesn't seem necessary for me to post since there are so many multi-thousand post members that know more than I. But since classes are out for semester break I have had...

Rep points to Russ for making me laugh this morning. Gotta try out this chalking method next time out.

Thanks for the prompt responses to my questions. I apologize for the quality of the pictures. I just snapped quick pics this morning to see if anyone could assist me. Shane, thanks for the phone number of Cue & Case. They were very helpful, but unable to find a catalog showing this exact cue...

I have the opportunity to purchase a Lucasi cue that I'm told is over 20 years old. I am incuding a couple pictures of this cue and am asking the group if anyone can give me some information about the model age and an estimate of its worth. Duane
