I have players sneaky pete I'll trade for you. Really nice cue, man, le pro tip... the shafts a bit warped, but the warp gives you some mean english on the cue ball... In reality, I was interested in making an offer, but after reading the aforementioned thread... No thanks. But the players...

The death of pool? I have witnessed the same closing down of pool halls in my area of Southern Ohio. Pool halls that have been around for at least 15 years have shut down. The best, an establishment that opened about 7 years ago, Olde Towne Cafe, when out this past year. This leaves me with no...

The archaeology of billiards Thanks for all the info. Though apparently no biography on Greenleaf exists, I at least got some information on gaining more info about his life. In addition, I wasn't aware of the Hoppe or Ponzi biographies. Being a former English major who went on to being an...

I've been trying to put together a library of biographical information on pool and billiards players recently. My library is quite small. Hustler Days, and The Hustler and The Champ each by R.A. Dyer, Byrne's Great Stories about Pool, and Mcgoorty: A Pool Room Hustler(which is my fav.), etc...

Jacoby cues I give Jacoby cues two thumbs up. I went to predator 314-2 cues for awhile... but keep coming back to the Jacoby. I was playing today with a predator 5K3, and let my girlfriend shoot with the Jacoby... and I kept looking at the Jacoby very enviously. Eventually, I had to make her...

I'm kind in agreement that the problem is in the joint facing... or at least the joint area in general. The shaft rolls straight, the butt rolls straight, and the pin doesn't wobble when the rolling the butt... Like I said, it still plays great. Just got get over the mental aspect of it, and...

I agree with your opinion. Its a great cue, and the wobble doesn't effect the play at all. I love the way it plays, and it has a lot of sentimental value. So I'm not going to stress about it, I guess it gives the cue a bit more character.;) I like the predator cues/shafts... I have two, I loved...

Thanks for the feedback... the pin doesn't wobble, that was my first suspect.

5k3 I have a predator 5K3, I have been quite satisfied with it. Supposedly the butt is made using predator's C4 technology, and the butt is four pie shaped pieces of wood spliced together: http://www.predatorcues.com/predator_cues_c4_demo.html It plays pretty great, I can't compare it to...

if someone scammed me out of my cue... There's the scene in the hustler where fast eddie has his thumbs broken... That would be the most generous response to someone ripping me off for a cue. The logical thing would be to contact the police/USPS and prosecute him to the fullest extent of the...

I was recently given an 8 ft coin-op table manufactured by All-Tech Industries. The company was based out of Hialeah, Fl I believe. The table needs a bit of work, mainly needs refelted among a few other minor repairs. Does anybody know anything about All-Tech industries and when they...

I have a wonderful Jacoby cue. I'd sold out to predator cues for awhile, and have been playing with their sneaky pete and a 5K3. For a while I liked the predators better, but I noticed a major problem that I have with the predators that I didn't have with Jacoby. I travel frequently and am...
