Very, very nice. Paul makes great cues.

I've heard of this "dead-blow" break cue before, but I've never seen one. I doubt that the design would be of any benefit. The shot in a dead-blow hammer is to keep the hammer head from bouncing when you strike an immovable target, but the target of the break cue is going to move. The way I...

I think you'll be very happy with your decision.

Damn, you're old. :p I started just before my 13th birthday, in 1957.

I joined facebook just to watch these videos, but I'm getting the same message as 9BallMarksman and billiardshot.

Sounds good, but what if I pull the wrong container out of my pocket and smear vicodin all over my cue tip? Get a bad case of the woozy cue.

Hey, he didn't say the pictures had to be only of women. Don't talk him out of it - I was just looking for that Speedo I bought in 1961. :eek:

Here is a short review of my first three months with the X-1. I'm quite pleased with how it works and have no problem recommending it.

Johnny, you have perfectly described the way I have aimed for fifty years. I have never understood the need for complicated "systems" that really just produce the same aiming spot as this method.

Have A Ball From the song "Okie From Muskogee" (for all who are old enough to remember) Of course, you might lose all of your old hippie customers.

Licking. :D

When Donny (sdbilliards) rebuilt my rails and recovered the table, he recommended the Simonis X-1. What the hell, I'm a gadget freak. So, here's what I found. Normal table maintenance for me has always been brush every morning and afternoon, vacuum every other day, and wipe with a damp cloth...

I'm with you on this one, Eric - almost. There are times that I long for the old slow cloth and the tables I first played on in 1957. But then I think about what it was really like, and I realize I don't actually want the old, slow cloth - I just want to be 13 years old again, instead of 39...

Couple bucks coming your way. Good luck to Ashley. -Howard The charges are only removed if you have linked your bank to PayPal. If, like me, you don't want them to have your account number, you can pay the fee instead of the recipient.

Roll a known straight cue on the rails to check for small low or high spots that are hard to see. (or smack the owner's dog)

I actually remember that poem. It was very popular with us low-class, pool-playing, high-school bums at the time. "We real cool," was the kids' favorite saying, and if you could come up with an appropriate second line, it was considered very cool indeed.

That's a beautiful cue, Tommy, but a little bit light. By any chance, Is it drilled for a weight bolt? -Howard

I'm one of those who has commented on a layered tip playing like a great triangle (I believe it was in reference to an Everest). I like a hard tip. The hardness of the Triangle is just right for me, and it gives very good ball control. Unfortunately, a while back they started becoming somewhat...
