    I wish the Wanted For Sale section had a category for cues under $300.

    As a thought...you should make a post that is titled...looking for quality cue in $300 range. I know there is a lot of high end stuff on here...but there are plenty of people that I am sure have a $300 cue laying around.

    Black Burl Interest

    I can't speak for everyone...but I like the black stuff. While not a replacement for ebony or buckeye burl...it may be a good alternative, and offer some different looks compared to the ebony. I think this mixed with other burl woods...sending a theme of eyes, burls, checks and voids is a nice...

    One of the old guys that taught me a lot about the game had 2 things he loved to say to me....first and foremost was that runouts wins games, safeties wins tournaments.

    Does anyone take pride in a league anymore

    That is a great way to look at this. All crap and emotions aside...in the end, there is a business model and approach that is utilized, some to support players of varying skills, some to make a profit, and so one. So whether an operator's intention is to start a league because they have a...

    Axes cues

    Nice....thanks for the info.....just when I thought I have seen it all...these cues come my way. In looking at the cue...the detail work on the, isn't bad at all....so probably not a bad thing to have...just nothing super special by any means.

    Does anyone take pride in a league anymore
