The sweetest butterfly cue ever.

I haven't had exactly that problem, but there have been a few times when complete strangers come up to me and say things like, "Can I get a half ounce?" I have no idea what they mean, of course, but it's very strange.

Well, that's a relief. I expected to open this thread and find a picture of my first wife.

I spend several hours every day walking around the pool table. For the past year or so, my feet have started hurting after a couple of hours, and my legs got really sore and tired. I tried out every pair of shoes I have and bought a few more pair to try out. Still pain and tired legs. So I quit...

Well, a couple of weeks ago, I broke a few small bones in my right foot. Now, I'm limping around the pool table in leather-bottom slippers - on carpet. When I touch a pocket casting on the Gold Crown, I zap myself with static electricity. That should tell you how my game's going so far this year.

You're not alone; I've also noticed this.

A FUBAR is where kung-fu students go to relax after a long day of slapping each other silly.

Happy Birthday, Melinda. Don't let the big guys hog all the cake.

I thought "Cracked Ferrule" was a grunge band in the 90s. Did that song "Big Balls in Portland."

Reminds me of the time when my wife said, "You know, I think playing pool is better than sex." I just wish we had been playing pool at the time, instead of... well...

Ditto. Elephant ear is the only way to go, imho.

As do I. Fortunately, the table has several sets. :grin:

Looks like it should be good not only for practicing combos, but also for dealing with heavy traffic. I'll have to give that a try.

Damn. Nothing but static on the screen for hours -- it was like 1950s television. :p

I have a 314-2 shaft with a Kamui black soft tip and it seems to be a fine combination.

Congrats to Rusty the Star Warrior and many thanks to Will and the others who contributed. Well done, guys.

Gorgeous cue, Doug. And it's got to be a dynamite player with the purpleheart core. Congrats, chuckz71. I have no doubt you're gonna love it.

I'm asking for suggestions for a new exotic leather wrap for a beautiful cocobolo plain jane. I have cues with full-belly lizard and elephant ear, as well as wrapless, linen, and leather. I was going to have elephant ear installed on the coco (I really like the ear wraps), but then I thought...

I have brown soft and black soft tips on identical shafts from the same cuemaker. After a couple of months, I still haven't decided which one I will have installed on all my shafts, but I'm leaning slightly toward the black. To me, it feels like the brown is a little harder tip than the black...

I was going to look for some pictures to post and get in on this, but after reading this kind post, I think I will do the same. Some young guy should have it. Thanks for the thoughtful heads up, Pete, and for the most generous offer, Will. -Howard
