deanoc, you're right. Ed Kelly's cue is indeed a Gina Cue and the 2 very similar versions of the same cue were made by Bill Stroud, (Joss West) there is other awesom 'Box' style cue that was made by the late great Gus Szamboti, which had a leather tube case matching the butt design. I had a...

I'm glad to say that I've been to Star Billiards in Quezon City, Manila, Philippines and my God, it's like a pool player's theatre of dreams. 46 tables and at least 40 of them are genuine Brunswicks, inc 4 webcam tables that are all GCV's with Simonis 860 TB cloth and SAP balls, on top of that...

Huge congrats to Ray Martin and to Jerome Keogh, it's very well deserved and I agree that Danny DiLiberto should have also been included this year as well. On top of that though, I believe that a few more players who should have been inducted into the Straight Pool Hall of Fame are:- Willie...

I was going to check out the site today to find out the price of having a plain white Karung snap wrap installed onto a cue stick and noticed the site was no longer available. I'm looking for someone in the UK or Europe that can get and/or install a white karung snakeskin wrap onto a cue stick...

The Green Felt Jungle :thumbup: The Ball Room Rack'N'Roll Snacks & Racks (Only recommended if you're planning to sell any hot/cold foods or beverages within the pool room) Diamonds Just thought I'd throw a few random names in for the fun of it :cool: Willie

I hear ya :cool:

Hey Johnny, how's it rockin? :cool: Fwiw, I've always felt there is as much skill involved in being able jump acurately, as there is to kick accurately, purely because both methods have their challenges and it takes time and practice to perfect those techniques. Earl prefers no jump cues in...

BUMP :thumbup: Nice cue stick and a good price too :) If you had 2x matching shafts with the inlays then you could've had a higher asking price since it would be a little more collectable :cool: Willie

It's not formica, the billiard table I have just purchased has got solid wood rails, sides, etc, but I've been considering on leaving the rails the natural wood colour and just painting the sides and legs, but it's very much an idea that I'm on the 50 yard line with :) Also, can anyone here...

Hey Guys I remember a fellow AZ'er had painted the rails of a GC1 dark blue and the legs were white and it gave me the idea of doing the same thing when I purchase a table here in the Philippines. I was wondering if spray paint would be better and what is the best thing to use for covering the...

I would like to echo all the this review and sentiments that Dave has posted in this thread of Al Bautista's cues and funnily enough, Dave has actually got a cue stick is exactly the same design as mine and I can wholeheartedly say that this cue hits smooth, solid and I'm totally glad and happy...

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it alot :) I have a jar of soft bees wax that I got for burnishing the shafts after cleaning them and that seems to do the trick very well and so, I'll know to use a smidge of it when needed :) Thank you once again guys and some rep points will be coming your...

Hey Guys :cool: I have a custom cue stick with a brass radial pin and I can't help notice that it's a struggle to tighten the shafts all the way down to the bottom of the pin and sometimes it's an even bigger struggle getting the shaft to turn to unlock it again. And so I wanted to know if you...

it doesn't surprise me to see Efren kick that ball in with little effort :) Hith being a strong Rotation and 3C player, it's no wonder why he's knows how to play kick shots so accurately, as he's had alot of years experience learning the rails as well as all the other aspects of being the top...

You're all more than welcome :thumbup: It's great to see Willie and Fats both enjoying a few laughs in the doubles match against Allen Hopkins and Steve Mizerak :) lol Either love him or hate, Fats was definitely one of the true great characters in pool and the pool world could do with alot...

The legendary shootout match between Willie Mosconi and Rudolf "Minnesota Fats" Wanderone. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3109100860459966589# Some parts of the video are bad, but this is the only video of this match I know of that is available online :) Enjoy :thumbup: Willie

Cowboy, Cribbage, Honolulu and another game not mentioned is Equal Offence. Since I don't have any specific favourites of these games and there isn't a multiple choice option, I have chosen not to vote. Willie

Hey Johnny, how's it goin? :cool: Nope, 4 1/2" pockets with quick and preferably quiet ball return system :thumbup: Willie

It's a cool idea and it might be a good introdution to straight pool for complete beginners indeed, but then again I don't think beginners/novices would necessarily learn as much from shooting 9.1 Straight Pool as they would playing the full rack version, since there wouldn't be as much problems...

lmao, I didn't think he hit the rail first either, but I couldn't decide on whether to call it as a rail first force draw or not :) lol Oh well, I goofed :P Willie
