I have 3 Cantando and they don’t look anything like this. Best Fatboy

“I’m just a beginner trying to get better” That line did pay my bills for a couple years once upon a time. I said once as I needed something new to say. The “I ain’t played in xxx months”’was wore out. This was back in the 80’s. So when I told a guy I was a beginner (I was a B+ player at the...

Let me give you the definitive answer Depends on who you ask…..

Where is the “who’s shot is it” thread?

I’m farther away than everyone and I’ve had zero issues with load times, AZB seems good to me. Maybe we could use some more useless topics to argue over-that’s been slow! Nest Fatboy 🥳

You raise a good point I haven’t touched on it as I didn’t see like you mentioned. I like what you said. I did both, I wanted a collection of cues because I love cues. So in the mid 80’s a had a handful of cues. I figured out pretty quick I could buy & sell cues and trade into more & nicer...

We talked a few times about spraying it matte black. Totally undercover except the wrap. I’m not sure why we didn’t get to it. It would have been pretty easy to strip down and expose all the work in the cue. It’s also one of my favorite looking cues(however that had zero influence on me picking...

Best hitting cue ever. I’d prefer it to be plain looking. I spoke to Tony about spraying it black-with the option of refinishing it if I ever retired it. That didn’t happen, it’s still my player-the little I play. It’s price, who made it etc were never a factor in me choosing it as a player...

Yes 100%. Watches as well. Most markets function the same. There are seller, buyers and inventory. Everything changes. People make mistakes. Trends are there to try and answer questions about the future, but they only help so much. The only guarantee is if you aren’t in action you’ll have no...

RIP🙏🏼

It’s time for the Gus of the month pic again. This months cue is one of my favorites. It ticks all the boxes and has fiddle back maple which isn’t very common for Gus. Double blk veneers (early 70’s) Original leather wrap 20 MOP inlays Both original shafts Maple windows Best Fatboy 😃

The barbell cue is the better of the 2, I’m not sure what it is, I’d have to see it, I still might not know. Both are nice cues Fatboy 😃

I pack as much talc on my hands as possible. Always have, always will. When the J&J thing happened I went out and bought more powder than I’ll ever be able to use. I’m not running out. Since I don’t play much anymore I suppose I’m gonna live forever by dodging the cancer I would have got with...

I don’t call myself an expert, that’s a self proclaimed bullshit title. “Experienced” is what I can call myself without going over the line. What I can say is I own pretty much every cue you listed and have owned them all over the decades. I buy and sell cues when I feel like it. Some cues...

I called Fred a couple months ago, we spoke for 90 minutes I’d guess. We have lots of mutual friends in SoCal and I played there since the mid 80’s so lots to talk about. Was a wonderful conversation. He will do LOA’s if he has the cue. He’s very fair on what he charges for them, I’m not sure...

Fred is Tads son, super nice guy. Top shelf just like Tad was, among the best of the best in the pool world.

Tad’s are among my favorite cues ever. They run real close with the Szams. For all practical purposes it’s a tie. Different reasons for Tads and Szams. But if I weigh all my own personal reasons out. It’s a tie. Aside from my personal opinions it’s clear from a biz stand point that Szams are...

I sold one similar this year for around 5 I don’t try and hit home runs with cues, never gonna get 8 for that cue. I have around 7 or 8 which are similar to that

I’m very lucky to have the support I do in the pool community 🙏🏼😃

How do I get down? These days I just tip over. At one point I got down on the shot pretty good. I don’t have the ability to describe it. Like pizza, lots of words but isn’t going to paint the picture. Sorry I can’t help out. One thing I can say with certainty after a zillion years of...
