The only way I can even imagine entertaining a request such as this would be if the two of you were first, friends and second, played with some frequency. This would mean that both of you likely know how things would turn out when playing straight up. It is of course done pretty regularly with...

Good to know, thanks. Can you tell me what Duramith technology is? I ask simply because their advertising says that the lesser ball (Pro Cup) uses the highest end phenolic resin. Could simply be that they haven't updated their site or it might be similar to the way car wax manufacturers...

There is another similar thread running at the present time. http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?p=3811483#post3811483

Sandbagging, known by it's other name is Hustling. Oddly enough, many don't consider hustling to be cheating, simply bad manners. The thought process here is very similar to, caveat emptor or let the buyer beware. Some believe it's a dog eat dog world and if the opponent can't spot the practice...

When I looked, it appears that the balls for that you are considering are still available on Aramith's site. It's been a couple of months ago and though not specifically what you are requesting, I picked up a set at Seyberts under the name of the Pro Cup Value Pack for $185 shipped. Aramith...

Mine had gotten to the point that it had a mass of scar tissue as well as some what was described as "congealed substance" under my tendons. They did a release and reroute in both arms. I was hesitant to have it done and went through the steroid injection thing. I still do that every 4 months in...

I've had a number of joint related surgeries (including replacement, knees) in my life. Most of the time you look back on these type of surgeries and realize you've lost something. You're just not as good as you were before the problem began. Tennis elbow/arm surgeries are the two surgeries...

Beautiful! No way I could make myself play a round with that cue, wouldn't even want the oil from my hands on it. Just couldn't do it. Simply beautiful cue, it reeks of $$$ signs.

The blue is awesome. I like the layout of that cue as well as any I've seen.

Nothing wrong with running on the edge but if you're breaking balls and cues you might be looking for something with a bit less than the hardest tip available. Regardless of which cue you choose I'm sure this could be a consideration/modification.

While attending a trade show in San Diego a number of years ago, I came across a dish that sounded totally disjointed but it had half a dozen different foods that I really liked in it. I took a chance and tried it. As I remember, it was called Lobster Delmar (?). It had bacon wrapped lobster and...

Ding, ding, ding. That scar on the cheek would appear to be a winner.

Are you saying that OB's shafts are of Chinese manufacture?

I know this doesn't make the situation right but doesn't Predator warranty that shaft against warping? EDIT: My bad! I just looked at their site and they specifically say they do not guarantee against warping. Sorry for the silly question.

What? No picture of the leg wound? :wink:

Oxidation?

Rick, Thanks for the info. It sure looks good and kudos to the owner and his choice of woods. I'll be interested in seeing his pick on on wraps. It's going to be a very pretty cue.

What a great thread. I genuinely appreciate being able to see the process as it moves forward. Your work is phenomenal and the choices of woods remarkable. Would you mind if I asked how many hours go into completing a cue like this?

There is a difference between taking pride in what one does and being prideful. It's sometimes more difficult to be a good winner than it is to be a humble loser. I see nothing wrong with taking every shot as if a $1000 bucks were riding on it. That said, when you have to pay, do it with class...

I'm a long time lurker to this forum but have only recently joined. I genuinely mean no offense with these comments, they are no doubt worth exactly what you are paying to read them. There are definitely some tremendous players (you know who you are) on this board. The surmations I make in...
