    Looking for a cue maker

    Res Cues.... yep, their shop is located in an unnamed rendition and detention facility in the mid-atlantic aboard a retired oil tanker converted into a secure barge. Shipping is a problem. Well played... Lesh

    What is with all the 502 Bad Gateway links?

    A great rumor would be that the NSA is blocking Internet Service Providers browsing traffic until they submit to releasing all browsing data to advertising agencies. Sounds ludicrous, so it might be true. Lesh

    What is your tip diameter?

    I have a few shafts, but my main playing shaft for 1 Pocket and Straight pool are both 13mm with a nickle radius. Just started using a 13mm over the last 6 months, coming from an 11.75mm Z-2. I am more consistent now and can do just precisely what I want to do with the CB and nothing more. The...

    Need advice on cue brand

    Sure, the Captain Obvious answer is to get any butt and slap a Predator shaft on it. Dont know if it is problematic to get a Predator shaft on a Mezz cue... never attempted. However.... if you want a cue that is ready to go and all in one awesome.... McDermott is the best choice in my opinion...

    Cyclop traditional color vs. TV (skittles) color

    When you ask Aramith about the difference between their Measle ball and their red dot, red circle, blue dot or blue circle balls they always say there is no difference. Not sure if something is getting lost in the Belgium to English translation or what..... The real questions is "Why offer more...

    Can we be honest about cues?

    In the beginning, there was pool... and it was good. We used the house cues on the walls and drank many beers. It was a time of laughter and short-term memory loss. We would tell stories that started out with the phrase "'member that time?" Then we got sucked into a league because your friend...

    What sparked your passion to become a pool player?

    My Favorite uncle would abscond with me to a private club in Oak Park, Michigan to play cards in the back. Up front they would play pool... lots of pool. Most of the people there knew my uncle as "The Great Wall-to-Wall"... that is a story in and of itself. But the place, come to find out was...

    Best pool novels that should be movies

    I still say that Ronnie Allen's collected recordings would be the perfect fuel for an epic Hustler type movie. I was feeling nostalgic Lesh

    Bad Etiquette?

    Yeah.... its all very situational and personal. I would bring my cues and made sure I brought a couple for my guests so they can pose smartly at the table. If I had just one cue, I would likely leave it at home so there is no weirdness. I like for everyone to be on the level and enjoying a...

    Recommendation of cuemaker for southwest tribute cue

    Pete's ring work is tight an can really take on a SW flavor but with his own stink on it. It's a good stink too. I've shot with only one Omen example, but I liked what I saw and felt. Good cues. I almost bought one for myself.... it was a toss up between Omen and Rack Runner. Pete lost : ) But...

    Two shafts...obsessive?

    Doc, I'm with you. I am not a devotee of pretty or complex cue handles when it comes to playing sticks. Give me a merry widow or a plain 4-point with MAYBE a Hoppe ring and I am good to hook. Shafts however, are an entirely different thing. I have 2 sticks I shoot with that match my above style...

    Best All Around Challenge Match

    Hmmm... Hats off to Dennis and his consortium of backers. He is stirring the pot, and I love it. I hope this yields more than a couple good match-ups. I can think of a few, as I am sure our assembled cognoscenti can. I wont name names because I think if people want it, then they will step...

ONE POCKET (greatest game ever) In this One Pocket League, we set out match-ups for the entire season and it is up to the players to reach out to one another and set up a match date and time. It gets played and that's that. At the...

    Cuetec Fires Strickland

    I think Earl did make Cuetec. I think Earl is awesome and should be allowed to shoot people in the liver. I think Earl will land on his feet after the appropriate amount of time spent breaking things. I think Earl should seek sponsorship from Mike Smith of Rack Runner Cues (Because Awesome) I...

    Anyone seen a hof-2 meucci with ivory?

    Not Ivory. I won a Meucci Gambler (not original) in like 91 and i yellowed over time. I never shot with it, just sort of carried it around and then it sat for 20 years in a closet. The butt section became de-adhered from the handle and I could slide it off completely undamaged... it is...
