I ran into Mike about 10 years ago in St. Louis. I was up there for work and was at a pool hall on the Illinois side one Saturday for a tournament. I think he was still driving a truck and just happened to be in that neck of the woods on that particular day and, if memory serves, he wasn't...

Cool, I always thought he made interesting cues. He used to play a little bit, as well.

Trendy? It seems that applying the term "trendy" to that phrase would imply that it is a recent phenomenon. I've been hearing it (and using it on occasion) for 20 years or so. Maybe it originated in Oklahoma, lol.

Holy cow, who showed you the "ON" switch on a computer? Say it ain't so! You probably ought to go back to drag racing! :D

Wow, absolutley gorgeous. I really need to hit the lottery. :)

He came to what I think was the first Southwest 9-Ball Tour tourney that John held in the OKC metro area back in about 92 or 93. (Not the first SWNBT ever, just the first in this area) It attracted some pretty smooth players and I honestly can't remember who won but I distinctly remember...

Sold. Thanks for looking, everybody. :thumbup:

PM's replied to. Thanks, Tom

Thanks for the kind words, y'all. It's a bittersweet thing, for sure.

After long and careful consideration I've decided to sell my SW. This is my first "For Sale" post here but I can provide excellent references as well as an excellent eBay history. Sold! Here's the info: Weight - 19.5 Oz. Length - 58" Shafts - 13mm (2)

Again, thanks for the replies, everyone. I have indeed decided to sell the cue. I'll a post up and ad soon, probably today. While I'm fairly new to these forums I've got an excellent history on eBay and can also point to a couple of regulars on here that have known me for years and...

KC - If I end up selling it to either you or Viper, I'll have to include the longhorn surcharge. :)

Thanks for all the replies, folks. If nothing else it makes for interesting reading, lol. As for me being inspired (or not) to take up the game again it's not a matter of desire, it's a matter of logistics. I refuse to deal with the air in smoker joints, I once played at a fairly steady...

Now that's hitting below the belt. And I guarantee there is nothing longhorn on this cue. :D

Thanks, I'm really pleased with the way it came out. Yeah... I know. It's a tough decision, though. So far I've only screwed one shaft on it for about a minute just to see how if felt. I bumped the cue ball a couple of times for grins then quickly put it away so I wouldn't be tempted to...

Woohoo, my new cue is here! Normally that would be awesome news, and well I guess it is. After waiting a bazillion years I finally got the cue I've always wanted. Unfortunately I've hardly screwed a cue together in the last four or so years so basically I'm lookin' at this thing being a nice...

Dang, y'all got way worse than we did here in the metro. It snowed for about 5 hours or so but hardly anything stuck.

Holy crap, Coats was there? How in the hell did I miss you? I'd be surprised if you beat anyone in 9-ball 20 years ago since you couldn't run 3 balls yourself, lol! :D Just teasin', man. Check your PM's

Wow, what a thread. I knew I should've started paying more attention to this place a long time ago, lol. I've hardly screwed a cue together in about 4 years or so but I'm starting to get the bug again. I haven't read the whole thing but saw some of the OK player related posts and a few folks...

Thanks for the info. I made it over there for a little while, looked at Joe's cues, caught up with an old friend and saw lots of folks I hadn't seen in many years. I was able to watch some of the Martinez / Walden match and a little bit of Ochoa / Frost. It all reminded me of why I never had...
