You are missing my point. Cues doesn't equal clubs. Equipment making the game easier and more consistent is the subject at hand. A Sand wedge does make getting out of the bunker easier. The bridge makes reaching a shot easier. Both are legal and are only a benefit if used well. That is my point...

Naw, 6 footers should just play on their knees!! LOL. Now that would be fair against us shorties!!

Wow, hope I don't regret this statement but... To take your analogy and carry it through to golf, so everyone plays with the same size, style and weight of clubs from the same tee? Golf has had the equipment change over the years and yet there is nobody saying that they all should be playing...

Wednesday bump

John, First step is admitting you have a problem!! LOL! I'm still pawing at the monistary doors waiting on the monks to release John. Till then I'll spend my day on AZ.

Tuesday bump!!

Monday bump.

FS Package 6 pt Jerry Olivier, Sneeky Pete w/ case $550 Hi All, I have a 6 pt. Jerry Olivier and Showcase billiard Sneeky Pete for sale along with a Excaliber hard case for sale. The Sneeky Pete has some nice ring work on the butt sleeve and is in great shape. The Jerry Olivier is in good shape...

The bridge I drag around with me is the Stretch system. http://www.hightowercues.com/index.php?page=stretch_system I've had it about 15 years now and love it for portability and easy to use.

I bought the Stretch bridge system about 15 years ago and haven't found anything I like better. http://www.hightowercues.com/index.php?page=stretch_system I too is a bit spendy for a bridge.

I was around when Bert Kellerman had that set made. Bert was a collector of chess sets and that was the inspiration for the series. At the time Roland was providing cue repairs at the Grand Prix tour here in Denver. Bert liked to employ the local cue makers for his ideas. Roland made some very...

My shooting cue currently is 6 point AE cue from the Kellerman auction. Before that it was a 5 point Gina And prior to that was my 8 point VIP Helmstetter Still shoot with all of them.

Morning All, I was taking some pictures of my AE cue from the Burt Kellerman auction to get some thread protectors made by cuecaps. I thought if I had the pics I should share. I'm so proud to have one of Burts old cues. It is a link to my friend that I will always cherish. -Doug

not sure on the GB models but I have played with a Helmstetter since 1993 and love it. I have an 8 point VIP RCH helmstetter as my every day shooter and it has been rock steddy. Hope that helps. -Doug

Its my hope that Burts Bushka ended up with Robbie Kellerman or his other son Hal. Burt had many friends and I thought the auction was a nice way to allow them a little piece of Burt.

Ghost, As I recall the Tad went for something like $2200, but I may be mistaken. I have a complete listing of the winning bids at home. -Doug

I was at the auction and came with a different purpose than most. Burt was my friend and I didn't feel right asking Kay to part with something without paying for it. I bought one cue and one of Burts Stars and Bars jacket with is 7th place trophy from the Grand Prix tour. Burt was a dear friend...

Burt was a wonderful collector of everything. He had classic cars he used to race, chess sets, shotguns (side by side of course!) and of course cues. Burt got into pool by accident. I met Burt through his son Robbie. When Rob was maybe 12 years old he was learning to play from some of the best...

Thanks for the posting. It was a wonderful walk down memory lane. I played on several of Burts teams and have test hit or played with most of those cues. I always admired Burt's character and miss him terribly.

My 2 cent, I don't know Matt. I'm not familiar with this tournament. I AM familiar with the APA. After spending almost 15 years in the APA I can say that most of the fault here is with the system. The APA's ranking system moves slowly. Anyone who started in the APA knows that those first few...
