Is there some point where a cue maker realizes that they're going to die soon and just says eff'it I'm going to take as many cues and deposit money as I can get from people and they can sort it out after I'm dead... This is the third story this month I have heard about Tier-1, A-list cue makers...

There are some dynamite Filipino makers, I did not mean that in a negative way at all. They have a unique style of cue-making and locals like some features more than the ones we value here in the States which gives them a distinct almost utilitarian visual look. I have three Filipino cues, and...

Maybe it's the photos but the veneers and the interior wood in the inlaid points don't look that crisp and well laid out to me. The rings look cheap too. Feels Filipino to me.

Looks more like Taiwan than Japanese to me, but I agree with Garczar.

on the positive side, your table can double as a tanning bed...

Now going full circle back to your original question my light has the Diamond parabolic reflectors which I believe you can buy separately from dealers and it puts almost all the light on the table with a small band of illumation that runs about three and a half feet up the wall. It means all...

So the guy I bought the light from is in construction and had one of his electricians wire a third row of strips in between the two standard strips. So instead of having 2 rows of 2 blub fluorescents for a total of 8 bulbs, it has three rows of two bulb fluorescents for a total of 12 LED bulbs...

My 9ft Diamond with a extra strip of LED's was throwing 754 and 732 in the right and left head corners, 1611 and 1614 at the two side pockets 815 and 830 at the back corners, and 2072 dead center of the table.

Do you mean just like my cheap "Asian Import" cue that turned out to be a Pechauer...

.. Well they're probably both at the same time. I have a unopened box of Sportscrafts sold in 75 that are Belgian made balls roughly equivalent to Aramith premiums. Similar to your set but closed fours and curves under the six and nine. Remember they sold to any and everyone in an effort...

Open fours were uniquely European How appropriate that the very balls used to kill them are now being sold in their box... Look at the two sixes side by side in that box, one is Hyatt the other Belgian!

So I have been told stories from far older and wiser collectors than myself about how the European Ball makers we creating literal barrels of balls and shipping them in bulk to the states where they would be sold to anyone and everyone to package however they pleased. And in these heady days of...

Most likely a very early Belgian set, probably late 60's early 70's when they were flooding the US market trying to drive Hyatt out of business.

I'd offer $400 cash, with the goal of trying to get them to settle at $425

that cloth is probably one big blotter sheet...

Clearly she did not care about her game or it would have Simonis 860HR in tournament blue already... Just saying.

The only one you need... Here

So pool cues are not banned because something actually happened with one. They are banned because the Flight Attendants Union specifically called them out on a list of 20 or so items that they wanted to be banned in carry-on as part of union contract negotiations. So next time you're walking...

And you needle tested that buttcap some place not noticeable? I know a couple of folks have declared that it's 100% not ivory but that last photo and the graining in it makes me think ivory. You might have made the right call...

So my local PO manager explained to me the truth about tracking information on USPS.com. It's pretty much fictitious. The information is machine-generated based on a few scans and will tell you that it has cleared a location or a regional sorting center based on a preset timeline that it thinks...
