    If you could have any Cue in the World? What would your dream Cue be?

    While SW is my all time favorite I still love my AE and would say it's the one. So already have it.

    Feeler on Adams Galaxie

    Sold For sale is an original 70's adams AH37 galaxie I was thinking of having it refinished but lost interest in that so I will be selling it if I get a fair offer. The butt has a warp/ lift. The shaft has matching ringwork and rolls well. This has some rattling going on possibly the pin...

    Bob Owen Is The Man

    I emailed Bob from shurtz cue just a few weeks ago to have him refinish one of his earlier cues and I was very impressed firstly with the work, and secondly with turn around. It was exactly 2 weeks plus ship time there and back so just under 3 weeks. Great work from Bob. Price was very fair.

    Lefties vs Righties

    I'm just going to say it because everyone is thinking it anyway, lefties are simply better at everything especially at being humble.

    Nothing special but I like it

    Play with what you like. My good friend Bruce Campbell RIP routinely made a ton of money hustling with a broom handle, seriously I watched him do it all the time. The secret keep it chalked and shaped.

    Cue id

    Sounds like a jump cue, does it separate at the front 1/3 end of the butt? If so then jump/break cue very common.

    How do YOU "Re-Boot" Your Game Mentally when the same ball is consistently missed?!?

    I take that ball to the range and shoot it with a 50cal from 1000 years.

    What's with all these pin types for cue joints?

    I can agree with that as I have seen some split uncollared joints but I have also seen a fair share of piloted joints come apart and split at the insert as well as the inside wood part of the collar section. Nothing is infallible obviously but I had a 70's southwest that sat in a garage for who...

    What's with all these pin types for cue joints?

    However I believe I have provided proof, more components introduce more possibility of failure and also more possibility of flaws in the individual components especially incompatible materials. It's a very defined response that targets obvious facts. I'm not saying that one design plays better...

    What's with all these pin types for cue joints?

    The flaw in this thinking is that none of the individual bolts uses a locating pin, this is a rectangular item and uses the locating pins so everything lines up easier and faster. Comparing these two totally different things doesn't work in the real world because they do vastly different things...

    What's with all these pin types for cue joints?

    Well not so much when you consider that it requires another seamed connection ie the joint collar that is only partly connected to the butt while a flat face wood-wood doesn't have that extra part so it in fact has a more secure connection by reducing parts. Adding more components actually makes...

    What's with all these pin types for cue joints?

    Pin style doesn't matter as long as the lockup is tight however the only joint worth having is wood to wood. I have spoken.

    Pawn Stars

    Met the old man and Rick long before the show. I bought a lot of stuff from them back then. I'd roll in and the old man would be sitting in front of the big safe and right away he wanted to talk about watches and show me what he had tucked away. They were good guys and I think Rick is still a...
