It's funny that as I read Hawaiian Eye's description of what he likes in a cue, I wanted to reply SOUNDS LIKE MY BECUE. Then he finally got around to his cue...Becue of course! Now I would have known if I had noted his name, as he's been championing these for a while. Anyway,recently traded a...

I like custom Richard Hsu but he's stopped taking orders. I have my original one available along with original maple shaft and a Predator 314-2 shaft. I'd sell it 1000 and advise getting one of his new Hsunami kielwood shafts from Richard. And my friend Cuong swears by JoeyinCali....Joey...

There's three videos on YouTube running 62 minutes total that do go over Mark's stance recommendation. 2 interesting tips. First toe and foot do not step on shooting line but right next to it (toe) instead. Next try setting up against a wall with cue flush to wall (except room for...

I picked up a Plain Jane bocote cue from Ed a few months ago, shown here with a Hsunami Kielwood shaft made by Richard Hsu. Radial Pin. Sent from my SM-A600U using Tapatalk

You worry about rattling balls or missing if you give up this crutch. That would not last long if you kicked the habit except for the occasional difficult shot. Sometimes you have to let your game take a step or two backwards while you implement an improvement that will ultimately move you...

Richard Hsu makes kielwood shafts starting at $350 and has been playing with one for about two years, maybe bit less. He says it's for wood lovers who want natural low deflection. I have a cue coming that will have a Revo and a Kielwood. I'll see which I prefer but don't think I'm good enough to...

I very much question your original assertion: you said by end of May this first wave of death is projected to be over. Obviously we need to wait and see but NO - - Projections are for people dying at unprecedented rates in June - one study claims 200,000 (let me type it again - that's no typo)...

Oops! Sounds like I'm wrong about Prather. Sent from my SM-A600U using Tapatalk

Richard Hsu makes them from a single piece of wood. Prather (if I'm not mistaken) uses laminated pie slices. I have a cue coming soon from Richard with a 3/8 x 10 kielwood shaft. Sent from my SM-A600U using Tapatalk

Oops! Left is bottom Right is top! Sent from my SM-A600U using Tapatalk

Not sure if this photo will do but left is a vintage Players shaft, center is new custom cue from a novice maker that has very few grains per inch, top is a generic shaft I purchased from a Schon collector who has gone to carbon fiber shafts. He claimed that this shaft was the cream de la creme...

Richard Hsu of RJH Custom Cues in Brooklyn does amazing leather wraps including EE. He's always posting videos of slowly rotating cues defying you to find the seam. Did a lizard for Mika if I'm not mistaken. Quick on returning your cue as well. Sent from my SM-A600U using Tapatalk

"Are the numbers in the stripes or on the white parts of the ball? If they are in the stripes, they are Aramith Standard balls, if they are in the white parts of the balls, they are the Premier set." THE ABOVE APPEARS TO BE BACKWARDS! Sent from my SM-A600U using Tapatalk

I've had several cues refinished by Richard J. Hsu of RJH CUSTOM CUES in Brooklyn and he always does spectacular work. He also posts pics of some of his work on his FB page. Yesterday it was making matching rings for a butt extension for a Southwest Cue. He's clearly proud of his work. Having a...

Just want to thank everyone for the responses to my original question. So delighted to hear from Bob Jewett again. I think I was asking him questions about Mosconni's explanation about why English curves cue ball path 25 years ago in "newsgroups" in early days of the internet. Sent from my...

"I firmly believe that the amount of spin is purely how good your stroke is paired with where you address the cueball. The closer to the miscue limit you can hit, the more spin you’ll get. I think the tip and chalk have a better chance of expanding the miscue limit and letting you spin the ball...

OK - cue ball and 15th ball (break ball or play safety). You spot the object ball on the head spot and play the cue ball from in the kitchen. My question is: IS THE OBJECT BALL LOCATED ON THE HEAD SPOT LEGAL TO SHOOT AT? My impression is that a ball ON the head string is not "in" the kitchen and...

Just picked up a McDermott M12O (that's "o" not zero) that I think is beautiful. They stopped producing these in 2007. I'm using it with my Revo for time being as my main player. Only the butt and floating diamonds are dymondwood, the forearm is Birdseye - - not too many Birdseyes but nice...

Love league apa after a long hiatus. I get in 2 hours of practice (but only stay on table when I win so it's not full two hours) then 1 or 2 APA matches. Wish I could hang out later to spar but it's often late and I head home. I practice at home 1 or 2 hours most days. And once a week play a...
