I'm trying to add to my collection, and I would really appreciate any help in narrowing down my search. I'm interested in 8 point cues (knifed-in not inlays)that would be from cue makers that would be considered "master cue makers". Also I'm more interested in cues that play, I don't want just...

If you can try comming into Sharkeys tonight or tommorow, they have a big league night every Mon. and Tue.( 12-15 teams each night of 8 people each team =100+ players) of all levels. Your wife would find many other couples therewith the same issues, You can look me up if you want, I get there...

how is this pool related?- shouldn't this be in NPR

who is Drake and what is this show?- where and when do you see it?

This whole discussion is about quality construction and how a cue feels when you play. Agreed, people don't need to know how a car is made but they can certainly feel the difference in ride between a Mercedes and a Yugo. And for sure they would rather drive a Mercedes all the time. For people...

Hi Steve, I totally agree with your comments. Great seeing you down here a couple of weeks ago.

What is amazing to me STILL is that nobody cares- this thread is about a significant issue in how and why a cue made the way it is, and only hand full of people have posted in this thread. - - On the other hand threads about misc. BS get enormous interest- this really shows me what type of...

What I was saying is, depending on where the player holds the cue(forward or toward the bumper), this will greatly affect where and how many nodal points you have in the cue. All i'm saying is that this should affect how the cue is made with respect to weight distribution and stiffness, shaft...

- Thanks-------------

- - Because the forearms are usually birds eye or curly (unstable wood but great resonance) they should be cored IMO because the "deepness" of the points don't go all the way to the joint. Therefore if the forearm isn't cored then there is a section of the forearm at the top of the points that...

I don't know why it would be important for a cue to take such a strain laterally, I can't think of any type of stroke which would repeat those kind of forces. As far as I know all of the force generated from a pool stroke is felt by the cue longitudally. - As far as air tight, are you saying...

Interested and curious: - - how does it affect the elasticity of the wood fibers and the flex of the shafts? Does it change anything about the wood fibers on a cellular level? Do you have any idea how it affects the sound of the hit, does it change anything about the compression cycle of the...

IMHO--It amazes me how may people don't know the differences and don't care about how inlaid points or deep knifed points affect the playability/durability/quality of a cue. - So here are a few things for others to consider IMHO. When I pick a players cue, I want it to last for a long time...

valid question, but this belongs in the straight pool thread.

How many other tournaments have any of us seen recently that have over 50 players sign up. And yes, every year the Open fills up at the last minute.- Bottom line is, I don't know where you could possibly go to see a larger event.

If you want to play pool at the highest levels, people need to let go of aiming/playing systems and play by feel / memory . . Your brain cannot consciously control the multitude of the variables and data that it needs to perform perfect pool . . But sub-consciously if you let go and feel the...

Ron makes the best cases. Period! -- -- They offer the best protection from physical damage and also from rapid humidity changes. Plus they hold up great, he uses only the best real leathers- not just pressed cowhide, but real ostrich, elephant,stingray,snake, gator,etc. . . nobody else does as...

different woods have varied traits, characteristics, for example: birds eye maple has the largest amount of end grain

Thank-you for understanding-A true voice of reason...
