In ANY Discipline you would be removing 99.9% of pool players from the list. In fact it would most likely all be snooker players in reality but that is of course subjective and difficult because most of the top pool players do not play snooker which is one of the truest environments to test a...

True as true can be. I collect cues and have played at a high level in the past. I have had some nice customs for long periods that I got used to such as Boar, Tad, Tascarella etc and could see subtle differences in each ones performance.. I also went through a stage early on trying the LD...

Yes I might have to get another butt made, shame though as this one has a lot of power unlike anything I have used and compliments the shafts perfectly. A different butt will change the hit and balance and at this stage I don't want to fork out for another custom. However, might not have a choice.

Thank you for the information. Yes it is a tough one, I am going to pop Tony a line and see if he can provide some type of paperwork which may be relevant to obtaining a CITES here in Australia. It is a shame the customs officials don't have the technology to accurately check the age of the...

maybe, but they definitely change the range of shots available to the player which IMHO is BS. OK the argument is that you can still play all of the shots HOWEVER the percentage of getting all of them is dramatically reduced with tight pockets. Is this a good thing?

Hi, My playing cue is the Black Boar in my aviator. Now I have a collection of cues but the Boar is the closest to my game and I don't like playing without it. Secondly, I travel a lot around Asian and from Australia to Europe and UK at least every 3 months. Anyway I have always taken my Boar...

leave it alone pal, the shot on the blue wasn't just about the pot. That has been spelt out to you on this thread on numerous occasions, the pot, position, circumstances even had a huge impression on Dennis Taylor who was a hugely knowledgeable and successful snooker player, world champion in...

True I was going to mention Ronnie stating Higgins break as the best break in history and Ronnie's opinion counts :-).

The unorthodox play of Higgins was encapsulated in his break of 69, made under unusual pressure, against Jimmy White in the penultimate frame of their World Professional Snooker Championship semi-final in 1982. Higgins was 0–59 down in that frame, but managed to compile an extremely challenging...

If a player played perfect position would he have got all of the pots during the break?. All well and good scrutinising the performance but I think you are bone picking . It wasn't a club match , it was the semi of the world championships and one miss was all over. He was fighting to survive on...

below goes for PT109 as well hehe ;-)

Ronnies break was in 1997 and I am sure the money wasn't a huge factor to him at the time

agree about Higgins break. Also Higgins break is widely recognised as the greatest break in history. I have never heard a reputable snooker commentator or player say otherwise. Not just due to the difficulty but the pressure involved because if he missed a ball he would have lost the match...

My regular practise partner bought a Revo with the P3 butt. We ended up in a trade and I acquired it. After practising for a while with it I kept the butt and swapped the shaft back with him and he now uses it as a daily player and loves it. The reason I swapped is because I normally use a...

I had the chance to hit with 3 Southwests whilst doing a swap at a collectors house. One was an 8 point ebony pre-date SW which hit very nice but no better than my 1992 Ebony Black Boar RS-4. The other two SW's were made after Jerry passed away and I had the option of swapping one of my cues...

Hello, I have a ferrule-less shaft. Can anyone please tell me the best glue to stick a carbon fibre backing pad directly onto the top of the shaft wood? Cheers

I am a complete beginner at one pocket and trying to learn the ropes. Anyway today after playing 2 pretty poor sets of 8ball my friend and I decided to play some runs to 3 in one pocket. During one of my breaks I decided to hit the 3rd ball from the top of the rack to open them up a bit...

Looking for one in original condition 12.75mm Cheers

Looking for a 30 inch 314 1st Edition Uni-loc Shaft that is in the original condition. Please show me what you have :-)

Depends on the amount of ROI you are looking for and what satisfaction you get from it and most importantly how long you are willing to hang onto them for. I have been collecting and trading, selling cues and cases as a hobby for over 20 years and have never made a loss on a cue I have sold. I...
