    The Best Cash Game Player From the US

    I suppose the game and format matter most, that being said I just watched Billy Thorpe beat him handily in 11 ball banks at the Carom Room in Beloit for $9k. Playing even. So the answer is, yes players from the states can definitely compete with him. As far as who is the best cash player in the...

    Table Mechanic wanted southeast WI

    I'm in search of Jeremy Chambers contact info. I'm located in southeast WI. If anyone has any other suggestions on a good table mechanic I'm open. The table I'm looking to have set up is a 9' diamond pro am, three piece slate. Thanks in advance, Ben

    What felt to go with

    I recently bought a 9' diamond. I purchased Simonis 860 HR for the table and have been told that I should have bought 760. Table has yet to be set up so hopefully I can exchange if need be. What do the pros play on? What felt is most common on 9' diamonds? Thanks in advance.

    Next Cue Recommendations

    Divinney Way to go on the retirement! Hope you enjoy your time as I'm sure it's well deserved. As far as an opinion on a good playing cue for under $500, I would suggest a sneaky pete by Pat Divinney. I think he makes a great cue and you can find them in the 300-500 dollar range. I actually...

    New wrap, what would you do?

    I picked up an old Runde era Schon cue and Bob Runde is going to refinish it for me. I am not a fan of linen, so my question is, will I devalue the cue in any way by installing a leather wrap? All them old schons have linen but I would rather not have it. Thanks in advance for any insight. Ben

    Runde era schon, info please

    Yes it is similar to the R-12 minus the inlays but also the R-12 has 3 points per point where this one has 5. Not that it really matters but just pointing it out. Thanks, Ben

    Runde era schon, info please

    Just wondering why a few people have suggested new shafts? The two that come with the cue are fine minus needing new tips. Thanks, Ben

    Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for any input on my first thread!! I picked up this runde era schon from a customer of mine. He purchased new in the early 80's he said.

    Scruggs and Gulyassy!

    Depends on the player I have a few cues that I switch back and forth between whenever I want. Some people don't understand how or why but I have no problems. They're also pretty different in that one is very forward balanced with a piloted ss joint and the other not so much with a flat faced...
