5/16x14 thread Original 314 logo on the shaft, good condition and somewhat on the skinnier side. Will measure exactly if you are interested in buying. I can't say for sure what tip is on there. Selling for a local player. Asking $160 shipped OBO I take paypal - CONUS please email me, no...

Tulsa, Oklahoma All I ever think about these days is how good we had it at the palace. It makes me proud to say I'm a pool player from Tulsa because of what went on here. Jim McDermott, who ran the Tulsa Billiard Palace for years also opened up an upscale place with a full service bar, live...

Excuse me, but Tulsa's my hometown. We had six local gals qualify and that was pretty exciting for me to go watch them last night. I was pretty amazed with the venue, the speed of the cloth seemed crazy fast and most of what I saw when I was there displayed professionalism. I visited with...

omg I am sad to hear this. I'm not sure just how close people can become 'online', but as far as people on here, Tommy was a genuine dude with some real character. Tommy may not have known this, but he actually helped me get started in cue making. The best pool I ever played in my life was...

Doode... Tommy is right on the money IMO. I've been playing ivory ferrules for years and I can jump balls, break, whatever with ivory and I've never sustained any damage whatsoever. Actually, I currently play with an ivory joint and ferrule cue and break with that mofo too. It's got a...

A local gentleman has an original 1st Gen Predator with an ivory ferrule. I didn't know who would be interested in something like this or even where to set the price. Thanks, SK

fuhgettaboutit.... just play with the Szam.... that's what I'd do

If you know a cue maker who speaks your native language, call him up and ask him questions. It seems that you have a long way to go before you can understand cues. I would be happy to speak to you in English so long as you're comfortable with it. PM me your name and phone number if you wish...

I think I saw an ebony / tulipwood cue floating around here at one time or another.. made by some dude who sells ferrules....?? Try that and let us know what you think...

I think there needs to be a micarta 'sticky' so that everytime someone asks about it, all you have to do is point and not argue.

over time, transparency makes a difference... May I ask a question . . . I think I remember Johnny and Earl giving pool clinics and stuff, but I don't hear about it anymore. Buddy Hall came to our pool hall and he is a legend in his own right, and I did learn a ton from him, but he is a...

It's funny I came across this thread and maybe I should have mentioned it earlier, but only typed words after thinking about last night. I'm sure all u guys do this, but I bounce every piece of wood I encounter on the concrete. I turned some ebony, ei rose, bol rose, coco, and b.e. to use as...

hmmm. I've been playing around with the tones of wood. I play instruments and being connected to music in that way has given me an entirely different way of putting thing together. I am under the impression that the cue is a 'percussion instrument'. The best two cue makers who ever lived...

jeez.. I can see everyone's just like 'family' here, as usual. Man, did I sure (not) miss u guys. :p I acquired about 20 micarta ferrules from Percy 'Knifemaker' a couple years back. I have installed them in my cues and let everyone in the pool hall try them and I get the same facial...

When I watch Duane on the table, he has so much fun.... he is like a teenager who just got laid for the first time... and yes, the cue hits that good.... *nut*

Good and inexpensive are two words that don't usually go together. If you want good, you're gonna have to pay and if you want the best, then pay the most, and that best is Kamui. If you are looking for LePro's, go to ..... .. . . . . . . (PM Sent)

I had various conversations with many a person who would know on this topic. It is one of my favorite topics. I was asking around about Ron Haley who happens to be one of my favorite cue makers. He used to play around here at the Tulsa Billiard Palace and the old timers around here say he...

Ah, yes... yet another victim... It is a disease.... don't do it. you'll end up broke, divorced, and maybe even in the hospital for respiratory problems or worse... save yourself the hassle and do gardening or something like that... don't get me wrong, it is fun, at times, but there is a...

I think what you're talking about here is the difference between gambling in pool or playing golf. In golf, you are expected to uphold the traditions of the game by counting every stroke and including every penalty, because if not, what's the purpose? In pool, however, I came up in the...
