I think it's poor sportsmanship, plain and simple. Of course the ref has no choice but to call the foul. Normally, in my experience, the Filipinos have the greatest respect for their opponents in every way. I'm suprised at Ronnie. In a money match for even more cash in my home room that would...

I keep hearing that but my experience hasn't borne it out. My current playing shaft from Paul Dayton doesn't deflect any more than the LBM ferrules and shafts I've had from other makers. Paul did tell me that he tested this shaft for deflection prior to sending it out. I've been playing for 45...

Custom cuemakers buy round dowels to turn down into shafts. Unless they spend top dollar by the hundred they have to go through the dowels and choose which are nice enough to use on their high dollar cues. The rest are used for break cues, sneakys, and to core their cues. You will have a hard...

Daniel thanks for the stream and especially the video. I couldn't stay awake and was upset that I missed it. Then I had a hard time finding out who won. Thought it'd be Ronnie tho !

Everbody has to post ! Even Mom :wink:

That cue will serve you well :)

There was supposed to be One Pocket after the 10 Ball. Live and learn

The 6 out and 4 on the wire. Then we would be gambling! I'd still be intimidated tho lol...

I second Paul Dayton. His wood is the best for the money. His taper and shaftwood is second to none. You're in a great State for cuemakers. Can't go wrong with Pete Ohman either...Omen Cues. My cues from Paul usually take about 4 mos. You really don't want one made any quicker than that. You can...

Who won the finals at Hardtimes last night?

Couldn't stay awake so late in EST. So who came out on top ?

Nope...it's 5:07 PST. Nothing yet

Can't wait...thanks :D

I always sell on a satisfaction guaranteed basis. No questions asked. If you are not happy with the cue on arrival simply return it for a complete refund. IMHO all the sales here should be conducted that way. That having been said, it's problematic buying and selling overseas. Shipping is...

Mike would be great , so would Billy and Buddy !

I do it by feel too. Not always correctly. I guess we all should know the diamond system, play more 3 Cushion, and just play more period. Wish I had studied 3 Cushion when I was younger and had the chance but wasn't interested :(...Tom

The Filipinos frequently play with slightly longer cues. They don't seem locked into 58" like we are. Before Joss it was always 57". It has never made sense to me that both players 5'6" and 6'6" use 58" cues. I know a married couple, both B players. He's 6'8" and she's 4'10". They both use 58"...

I went over to Ebay and had a look. Did you read that those cues are at least 22 oz ? They are 59.50" long too. The Filipinos do like longer cues, but you might not want that. Just be careful. You CAN get good cues from the Phils inexpensively, but there is a lot of junk too. I know Tony...

Never heard of him. If you want a inexpensive but well made Filipino cue I recommend Tony Bautista. Forum members DGEM and JOYREN represent him. Not to say that this guy isn't good, I'm just telling you who I KNOW is ! I spent a month in the Philippines last year and did some research on...

SOLD PENDING FUNDS 2009 brown Dennis Swift 2X4 case made for 59" cues with joint protectors. Jump handle pocket on side of main pouch. Long strap with wool pad. Gold tone metal ring around bottom. I paid $365 for this case in 2009, and it's had very little use. Just a few very slight scuffs...
