Bummer. I appreciate the contrasting experience. Outside of the cost/communication issues, was the work good? I mean sans the shaft clean up.

A friend just had an older Meucci done by Proficient Billiards. Was about $450 with a new linnen wrap. Actually they charged her $75 more than the price quoted on their web site. When she questioned it, they said sorry price went up. This was with no cleaning up of the shaft. I'll never again...

A high end production cue will play just as good as a custom but will lose value faster. Just my opinion having owned both. Currently I think my Lucasi and Scmelke play just as good as my Philippi for a lot less money.

...NOT POPPING, This is an older cue- typical finish is shrinking a bit, is why you can feel the inlays is all. Reach out to proficient billiards- Ask Scott there @ Proficient if he may be acquainted with anyone in your area for cue refinish work. Your cue- probably has genuine elephant inlay...

...cues that will always lose value and certainly dont play as well as lower end custom. I recommend a second hand Rick Howard cue or similar. If it has "battle scars" you can always send to Scot Sherbine a proficient billiards for a refinish for 100-150, and have practically a new cue. Ken

Good post. Agreed that Hoppe should have been omitted, If you consider all-around cueing, Worst always tops Reyes as a legend in both pool and 3-cushion. What does the speed of the straight pool legends at 9ball have to do with anything? SVB couldn't beat them at straight pool either. One...

Actually I’m not new to the “pool scene” I’ve been following professional pool since 1994. Greenleaf and Mosconi, couldn’t beat Shane in any long race in any rotation games, and that goes for crane also. Sigel, varner, worst, Lassiter, id day would give Shane fits since they were proficient in...

Those Those ferrules look like the good stuff!! At least the one I looked at did. Nice axe!! Somebody's gonna enjoy it.

This cue has been fully refinished, rewrapped, and re-tipped by Scot at Proficient Billiards. Specs of the cue, before the refurb, are: Butt - 15.10oz, linen wrap (removed old, beat-up leather), appears to be a late 70s (or early 80s) 4-pointer..based on the cap stamp. Shaft 1 - 12.85mm...

That’s me and yes I’ll take it for 300 shipped.

IMO it isnt really that valuable. My best advice is to send to Proficient Billiards for a complete refinish. It will maximize value if you want to sell it, or make it a good player cue. For those giving $300 and up pricing, ask them if they would like to buy it at that price. Ken

They do great work! Refinished my 1993 Dan Dishaw a while back. Highly reccomended!

I just had my Schick cue refinished by Proficient Billiards and have to say I am extremely happy with how it turned out. I wanted to keep this cue as original as possible and Scott did an awesome job. If anyone is looking to have a cue refinished I would highly recommend them.

...Schick pool cue. Possibly one of Bills first cues. Comes with two shafts. This cue has just been professionally refinished by Proficient Billiards, keeping the cue as original as possible. The cue will be held in escrow and shipped from Proficient Billiards. Scott at Proficient can answer...

"These dice are made for you in Lancaster County PA at Proficient Billiards. The patent pending idea comes from a cuebuilder who has stood in front of a lathe for decades and the insanity that comes from that. These dice are perfect for all levels of play. The recreational shooter, the league...

Looks like its made by Proficient Billiards, too. One of the best companies in the business.

Maha, I disagree about cue makers not understanding the repair of a cue, at least some. But I heartily endorse Proficient Billiards for their professional cue repair workmanship. IMO, on their best day, PB wouldn’t do a better repair than Bob Owen would. Now their turnaround time is likely...

It cannot be said enough. Proficient Billiards has it going on. It is a real bright spot in our world. But, I don't want to get out of line, because it is not the only good shop out there. We just hear about all of the donkeys. I particularly like two things about it and Scott 1. I can...

...enjoy restoring one of the older Schon cues, maybe he even recalls it. None of us know how Bob feels about repairing a cue from the past and I’d still contact him and include photos too. It might wet his appetite to tackle it. But as others have posted, Proficient Billiards does excellent...
