I grind my Triangle tip back into shape with a Willards tool before I put it together out of my case. If I'm playing for a long time, I might do it again every couple hours. I like having fresh surface that holds chalk well, and replacing a Triangle tip at home costs me something like a nickel...

I've spent more money on dumber things, and was at the site hovering over the "buy" button. A few things stopped me: I don't know how the 2 buttons on the collar looks in person, but it looks funny in the pictures. With the shirts being "slim fit" I don't know if I need a large or extra large...

You noticed that too, huh?

I think Justin of TAR fame, and now with CSI, had a picture of SVB breaking that captured the balls in the air. As I recall, he had some great photography skills and posted a few artsy black and whites of Jason Shaw and Darren Appleton at one point. Maybe he'd sell a couple prints... I'd be...

Taking away the rare exception of purpose-built one pocket tables and gaffe tables used for gambling, 4.5" pockets are what you'll find on tables in public places. Feeling like a hero at home with 5" pockets isn't going to do you any favors when it comes to competing on good equipment. If...

I always figured my cue would be used by whichever close friend decides to avenge my death. It's pointy.

The unedited photo looks a lot better, although I would guess that the phone picture accentuated the small flaws present and didn't create them altogether. Still, I give credit for the shaft looking like it was looked after better than I thought. The original looked like it doubled as a toilet...

All of the cracks and chips must be on the other side, right?

Just once, I'd like to see a post like this with pictures that reflect pride in ownership. None of my cue shafts, ferrules, or tips look like what's shown. Not an indictment of the OP, as it's possible he is extremely conscientious in the use of his equipment and just prefers a filthy shaft

Regarding the Pool Sharks show, I'll watch it. If it's like any other show I've been into before, it'll tone down on the cheesy part and those involved will become less forced in the acting department. Also, I'll be more than happy to play the part of hapless sucker. I'm a natural!

I had to look up WTF that Crisley guy did to deserve a reality show... he's just a flamboyantly (supposedly not) gay dude who played the real estate flipping game and made money at it. Who in the country is watching that crap?

I based my post on the results shown on AZ listing the participants at 76 for 2003. If there were over 300 then it gets harder to luck that far into the bracket for sure!

I don't think it's out of the question. In a single elimination tournament with 76 players it looks like you have to win 3 matches for 14th place, and depending on luck of the draw and how many dead money entrants there are (people like me, who will pay an entry for the experience) I can see a...

This might have happened the day after what I'm looking for; the location was wrong and I don't think it was an open tournament. Kudos for closeness, I couldn't navigate the euro site well on my iPad.

Great, now I have yet another site to waste all my time on! If HOB Weert can't find a poster, that site looks promising. Thank you!

Thanks just the same!

Russ, the owner of HOB-Weert is who I'm dealing with, and it was held there. He's going to look for an old poster. I either submitted my question on the Dutch lottery website yesterday, or I'm signed up for something. The google translation of the web page was suspect, lol. There were enough...

Lucky guy, I love my Players jump break. It's was a deal at $79 new, would be a bargain at $30 even without a tip, and an absolute steal at $15. All I usually see are junk cues that came with Pool/Spa/Recreation center tables 20+ years ago or a decent production cue beat to hell for 99% of...

Thanks for the efforts JAM! I unfortunately have no alternate ideas for names or any info at all, really. What I do know is that I'm interested in buying a really cool 9 ball that was printed like a lottery ball. They were purported to have been used at the 2010 Dutch 9 ball national...

In the pawn shops I frequent, items within the hold period aren't even displayed. My understanding was that it was unavailable for sale, period, and couldn't be priced and displayed until the hold was clear. I would suspect the cue was priced by an employee who didn't look up any info, and the...
