Of the people that I know of that had a table at home they always seemed to reach a very proficient level but could never really compete under pressure, as they had reached that level with very little competition or competitive experience under their belt. It is only a handful that could take...
Snake from Dallas tried that with me, ran 2 racks with a 1 piece Ebony Dufferin them missed/played safe on the 8-ball in the 3rd. The 8-ball didn't even come close to reaching the pocket but of course I was hooked and he was saying how "he missed", I just smirked and laughed. He was steered into...
It's about as real as a $200 bill, sorry but everything is wrong on that cue. Joint collar, joint pin, all of the ringwork, bumper, wood selection, logo, inlay size...which are probably stickers. Not even close.

One very large difference between the US and some European/Asian countries....sponsorship. If you're the best in your country you are treated well, may have a monthly stipend, possibly accommodations taken care of and people will be funneled to you for lessons. In the US you get looked down...
Wood has a memory but like humans the memory fades, also as mentioned shafts will get thinner with tip replacement and cleanings. If you clean it by hand most people will sand the center of the shaft twice and the tip once with each stroke, usually you start at the middle of the shaft and run...
Pretty interesting that in the contract they get their own website wrong, it's www.world-billiards.com which isn't a big thing but you won't get anywhere typing in their contract specifics. Also "anti doping" or "drug testing" doesn't give you any information at all, the...
Seyberts.com also does quite a bit of with customization and conversions, KJ can do just about anything and their prices, knowledge and attitude are some of the best in the industry. They also make shafts to fit just about any cue including Cuetec, they were one of the few that did them.

I agree, his numbers were just out of line to start with. Start smaller and build up a following, work out the kinks, maybe incorporate Fargo ratings, try and work the WPA, have a player's organization form so that you can protect/endorse everyone & make a lasting contribution to the game/sport...
J-S Sales definitely knew how to generate sales, signature cues and improving the finish on the shafts really did wonders for their bottom line. Glad to see that SVB is still on their website/payroll, out of how many millions of players out there he's one of the handful that honestly gets paid...
That's the Cuetec website not Google, duh. Just kidding, I love the "Let Me Google That For You" website and send it to friends that ask the most wonderfully simple questions. It's amazing that people's vocabularies and knowledge in general isn't exploding tenfold given the ease of acquiring...
Having worked for Cue & Case, who make Lucasi/Players/Rage cues, I can tell you that there isn't much difference between the 2 shafts and that the HXT shaft is a very good deal for the price. Yes they produce more deflection than other shafts on the market but they might also hit better, which I...
It might have been a bad batch or outdated chemicals, a few years ago at Predator the primer was bad on some 2K1 or 3K1 cues so the finish would flake off. It didn't take much more than a slight bump and it would start cracking instead of not affecting it at all or leaving just a small ding...
Surfer Rod, after reading about his games, gambling and exploits I would love to watch him play: http://konnections.net/rodcurry/Pool%20Players%20Rod%20has%20beaten%20detail.htm

For some reason I've still got this cue, I wish I could have taken it to the BCA to offload it but I'm sure there would be a line of vendors that would want to take a cue to the side of my head. Purchase includes 2-Day Air Shipping to the USA, anywhere will be pro-rated on distance.
Thank...
The signature should be for Kazunori Miki the founder/owner of Mezz cues, great looking cue and very nice that it's hand signed. Good luck with the sale, I'm sure someone will pick it up quickly.

Price reduction to $2600, I believe that's as low as the customer will go he doesn't want to lose too much money on a cue he used for about 2 weeks and hasn't been abused. Please let me know if you have any questions, thank you.

Updated price of $2700 o.b.o., not in a rush to sell this cue and honestly thought it would sell rather quickly since it's the only one I've seen come up for sale at any type of discount.
The cue was used for about 2 weeks and is in 99% condition, it was played with but as you all know the...
Price is reduced to $2750o.b.o., it's the only used 20th Anniversary REVO cue I've seen on the market and surprised it hasn't sold actually. If you have any questions please let me know. Thank you very much.
