I had a Josswest made in 1972 w/the same collar rings as in this cue...there was no "Josswest" markings on it at all. When I talked with Dan Janes many years later for authentication before I sold it, he asked me if it had a red rubber bumper and cortland linen wrap. It did, so he...

Old days, if you bust someone it was customary to give them a "walking stick" (a little jelly so they would not be broke). But if your opponent is not busted, no walking stick is required. If both were staked, it's a friendly thing to do to throw a little their way.

Yes, Samm's one the good ones. Thanks for sharing and congrats to your son. Dave

Thanks for your reply. Interesting observation about the rumbling of the balls.

Hi Doug, As Kissed Out mentioned I play out of the senior center, too and yes, it has two tables as described. It's very hard to compare the two tables as they both play differently; the older brunswick w/the RB cloth plays much shorter than the Gabriels w/the Simonis, but that is not because...

Yeah, yeah, we know your son is playing in the finals. LOL I'm rooting for Alex too.

Thanks David. I will take a look. Dave

This is a good way to look at it. I however have always thought of tips of english to be how far the cueball travels left or right after contact of the rail. Example on a billiard table would be 1-tip = 1 diamond spread the long way and 1/2 diamond spread the short way and so forth. To me...

You get to spend other people's money! Perfect way to support the future of our game. Do it, now! :) Dave

Is that a schuler style joint? Can you please make the pictures smaller next time? Cue looks nice. :) Dave

You're welcome, Joey. Just so everyone knows, I just spoke w/Dennis and he is revamping the catalog to make things easier to find (w/lot #s, etc.). He said he was going to start a new thread once ready so please look for it. Thanks for all the interest so far, Dennis is overwhelmed by your...

I would still contact Dennis by email just in case. Not all was cataloged yet if I read it correctly. Thanks for the nice words my friend.

OK, there you have it. For those that were not successful in contacting Dennis by email but interested, I hope this helps (also posted in Carom section). There is some very cool stuff here, I hope Bob's final wishes get fulfilled and many get very cool memorabilia that was once one of our...
