Thank you for following up but I am still firm. A different interested buyer sent me a link to a Szamboti that is virtually identical to my cue on Cornerstone Custom Cues that is listed for $13,750. Their cue has been refinished and has new shafts, my cue is, as it was, when Gus made it and it...

The Cues is 58 inches long. The butt weighs 14.7 ounces. One shaft weighs 4 ounces and the other shaft weighs 3.9 ounces. Both shafts are 13 mm. I will post a picture of the unused tips in a day or two. I prefer local pick up at my bank Los Angeles $5,000

In the 1970's K55 rubber was used on Billiard Tables and K66 or Super Speed rubber was used on Pool Tables. There was a physical difference between K55 and K66, I do not remember which but one had a slightly rounded top while the other had a slightly flatter top. Sometime in the late 1980s or...

I have a Raymond Calvert that I bought in the 1980s. I hit balls with one time and like most of my collection I put it away and never played with it again. Please let me know it you would like to see some pictures.

Canadian Ross Nichols, an excellent snooker player showed me Front Hand and Back Hand English and it worked great while he was coaching me. After Ross left, without his guidance the BHE and FHE stopped working and it ruined my straight in stroke. It took a week for me to regain the confidence...

I only rolled the cue when it was assembled. I will ask my friend with the pool table when I can stop by to roll the butt and shafts separtely.

The cue has been sold. I bought this cue from John when he would make the drive in from the Santa Barbara area to play in the first Saturday of the month 9 Ball single elimination tournaments for B players. Bill Duke who ran the tournament handicapped the Top players, Keith McCready, Hawaiian...

I bought a lot of Mike's cases and when he started selling his cue he said this cue was special because the shaft had a Fiddle Back pattern. It is also the reason it has only one shaft, he didn't have any other shafts that would match it. I played with it one time and like most of my cues I...

This is the only It's George I have. I will call tomorrow.

I asked to join the group and it said my request to join is pending.

Thanks, I remember buying a cue from Craig and I thought this was the cue. I'll follow your recommendation.

This post was a follow up to my post that, Tight Pockets are Not Good for the Game. https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/tight-pockets-are-not-good-for-the-game.561520/

Related to giving up a spot regardless of the pocket size, I asked Hawaiian Brian, who ofter gave up big spots, about what happens when he gives up a spot that is too big. Brian said, If I play good and you play good, I win. If I play bad and you play bad, I win. If I play good and you play...

Everyone will miss more when the pockets are tight. If player one misses about 2% of his shots and player two misses about 4% of his shots and if the break and rolls are about equal player one will run over player two. While missing 4% of your shots instead of 2% of your opponent's shots...

After I learned to play the game at a decent level, I saw a old guy trying to play pool, it looked like he was just learning the game. I was shocked when one of the guys said, "He used to be a great player!". I decided that when I lost the ability to play I would quit, it happened just after I...

I was teasing the reader when I said I dumped my backer. I was the backer and Bill knew I would not take advantage of the "C" players. This was the best win I ever had because Joe was not a nice guy and a nit who would not hesitate to take advantage of the helpless.

Before I tell you about my match with Cuban Joe I have to tell you about the most successful $20 monthly 32 man, single elimination 9 Ball tournament from the early 1980s to the mid 1990s at the House of Billiards in Sherman Oaks California. The success was because Bill Duke handicapped the...

I apologize for not remembering the year but it happened in Los Angeles in the 1970s or early 1980s. I am not going to describe the shooting because the shooter was clearly guilty but the defense attorney was doing his best to discredit my testimony. After I described what I saw the defense...
