    Backers....stories?

    Rosie While we're on the subjects of backers and large sums of money in Detroit.... Does anyone out there know of a gentleman nicknamed "Rosie"? The stories about him going off for ridiculous sums of money are now approaching urban legend status. It's my understanding that he passed away...

    Glass City Open

    When I left tonight, Strickland was up 5-3 on LaPena, and Steve McCannich was up 6-3 on Brandon Ashcraft. Both matches were on the winner's side. On the one loss side, Archer and Basavich were basically knotted up in a seemingly endless match (thanks to some lengthy discussions over the rack)...

    Nitti Cues

    Hey all- Just wondering if anyone out there can give me any feedback on Chris Nitti cues? I've got a chance to get into one at what seems to be a fairly reasonable price, but I'm a little hesitant to pull the trigger without finding out a little more. Any help at all would be greatly...

    Hey Koop, Actually, I've got one on order from him now for $600. There is one condition however, he typically likes for you to have ordered a higher line cue from him first. I'm not sure if that's written in stone or not. Boti2634

    Looking for a specific Schon

    Does anyone out there in the cue world know where I can find a specific model Schon? I want to say it was an SP 31, but it has been a number of years ago and my memory isn't what it used to be. I know for sure that it had four floating ebony points with faux (assumption) ivory inlays and the...
