Francisco Bustamante hands down...... he's got some NWA rhythm.... SVB has great tempo, but my favorite stroke including rhythm is Lee Van....

Since you are asking, I assume you don't know, and don't have the means necessary, so you will have to take it to a cue maker. If there isn't one in the area, you can send it off to anyone willing to do it. ratcues is known for his excellent repair work, and you have a wide selection of...

The single most common excuse I will hear is, "I ain't hit a ball in months"

Who in the hell steals a shaft? and how would you be able to recover a shaft? It's probably one of the other player that didn't like him..... Did he look in the trash can?

Tommy, PM sent..........

That is the first time I have ever seen that. I am thoroughly impressed with the time it took to put that wealth of knowledge together. I think anyone struggling with issues in their game should visit this website!

I agree. I think the problem is this. One person starts something with good intentions, but fails to follow through. If this is something you are good at and you seem to be passionate about it, I think people will notice and eventually you will have a 1/1 list .... ;) especially having cue...

As always, I will recommend someone who asks this question to first, acquire knowledge. There are many ways you can do this, and Joey mentioned one of the best pre-requisites to cue making. Chris Hightower sells DVD's at $50 a piece and they are packed full of great info. I own all of them...

Good answer!

In some of the threads and I think some of the stickies, there are already updated lists of cue makers both here and not on AZ. I hope you succeed, this is a cool thing definitely.

I vote for natural abilities. Natural is better when it comes to most anything. I believe that principle when it comes to cue making as well. I try to add as little as I can and try and get the most out of using less. With that said, I think those who have a natural ability find it easier to...

Dang, Neil... I was unaware of this. I hope whatever was damaged is recovered.

Deflection is your friend in pocket billiards...... very much like the 'center of the table... you should learn to master all facets of the game.... including aiming with deflection.

I think to go along with an aiming forum, we can add to it:

Your best bet is to contact Barry Szamboti..... better yet, I would just keep it and play with it.... Your cue could potentially be worth 10k easily. The only person worth paying to find that out would be Barry himself. You would not only have answers to all your questions, but accurate...

Thanks, everyone.... I might sell the coco one, but not the steel joint... if anyone has an offer hit me up

You most certainly did good on that Jimbob.... I am definitely envious of you. If I were to guess, I would say you got that stuff at or around half price.

I'm gonna call you about some of these things

Hmmmmm.. it wouldn't be that guy Ross would it......

You bet, my friend, thanks. I am still not getting some of the little things right, but it's only been a year since I started making cues, so I am sure I will figure it out....... eventually........ :wink:
