Recommendations appreciated. Thanks.

Yes it is.

Thanks. It's a Scruggs cue. I'll probably just let it go--I use the cue as a player, not a collector--but was curious about how difficult replacement of the ring would be.

I have a Hoppe-style cue from a very well known maker and the ivory ring has cracked. Is replacing it a major deal? Thanks.

Should add that neither is close to Mandalay Bay, and if you're cabbing getting a cab back can be a problem. No places near Mandalay Bay that I know of.

I agree, it's either Pool Sharks or the Cue Club. I prefer Pool Sharks, but the Cue Club is open 24/7.

I'm looking for good-quality plain white or solid colored towels with a fixture that allows easy attachment/detachment from the rings on a case. Thanks.

I'm not sure it has a fixed meaning. I've seen it used to describe a cue that has points, inlays, or whatever on either the buttsleeve or the nose, but not both, but I've also seen cues that I would have called "plain janes" (no inlays or points anywhere, but with a linen or leather wrap)...

Chris has always made great playing cues, but in the last couple of years his fancy cues have just got better and better.

I enjoyed it, but it's not about the technical aspects of pool or league play, and isn't intended to be. I think she writes really well.

Invest in a ball cleaner--Ballstar, Bludworth, Diamond, Porper, whatever. It's worth it.

Thanks for the suggestions. I may try the pawn shop route. I did play at Pool Sharks several years ago, but as I recall the tables were in lousy shape. (Or maybe they steered me to a bangers' table since I didn't have a cue with me. Took me awhile to learn about that.)

Thanks. I was there 3 or 4 years ago, but heard that it had since closed.

Thanks; that's what I figured. I wish more rooms would have decent cues available for rent the way ABC in New York does.

I'm going to be in Vegas for several days starting on Sat., and plan to get to the Cue Club. It simply isn't practical to take a cue with me, and as I recall from prior visits the house cues are typically crappy. I don't suppose they have better cues squirreled away somewhere? Thanks.

Really hurtful, but I'll refrain from telling any cuemaker jokes.

Mike is great to do business with--especially remarkable for a lawyer (and since I are one, I should know).

I've been told that pads are unnecessary w/layered tips since they provide sufficient "shock-proofing" by themselves. Correct? Thanks.

Can someone post the final results--say, the top 5? Thanks.

I've read several times that Josswest resale values are declining. Does anyone know why that's happening? Thanks.
