    New cues vs older?

    ...pin changed on the Falcon to match the Cuetec shaft, assuming it's not proprietary. But I'd avoid messing with the Falcon butt since you already prefer it to the Cuetec. If you go the modification route, I can't recommend Proficient Billiards highly enough. They do some pretty amazing cue...

    Is your best game one you actually don't prefer?

    I'm not sure what the OP's original intent, or reasoning behind this thread, was but in my posts you'll notice I indicate my statements are made based on a proficient player and banger's need not apply. If someone wants to have a serious conversation about pool, or play a respectable game of...

    My experience dealing with a well known cue maker

    ...sneaky cured me. I should sent him a thank you gift certificate because I'll never have that aggravation again..Never again unless it's a finished cue and in person. Like you said..there's a ton of great production cues. If I need to have any work done I can't do it's going to Proficient...

    TS Cue - Price Check, Aisle 5 !!!

    I hope that's a really nice knife you're going after. Bottom line is you've got a Scruggs that probly hits very well and will appreciate every year you own it, within reason. Not so familiar w knives. Make sure that ol gal goes to a good home and not to some jerk who'll leave it in his wife's...

    TS Cue - Price Check, Aisle 5 !!!

    Roger that, sir. Thank you! I hit up Scot, at Proficient Billiards. He didn't recall this specific cue...but stated that almost all wrapped 4-point with veneers cues weren't full spliced. The non-veneered 4-point wrapped cues weren't "common." But this one very well might be. I should have...

    TS Cue - Price Check, Aisle 5 !!!

    ...may be inclined to sell my TS cue, and snag that blade. This cue has been fully refinished, rewrapped, and re-tipped by Scot at Proficient Billiards. I have the receipt to go with it. Specs of the cue, before the refurb, are: Butt - 15.10oz, linen wrap (removed old, beat-up leather)...

    Not an Abe Rich

    ...my cue. This article caught my eye as it looks like my cue has a Gus Szamboti forearm. I found identical(first pic) forearm on Proficient Billiards website titled Gus Szamboti four point forearm. Read Doc didnt start putting pennies under bumper till 1972 and this would be prior. If it quacks...

    Lemme see those old dufferin conversions fellas

    I have a box I’m slowly converting. I assume that’s brown phenolic at the joint?

    Lemme see those old dufferin conversions fellas

    Not great pictures but better. It went to Seyberts for the conversion the first time. I was not satisfied so it went to Proficient Billiards for tapering the entire cure and refinishing. I paid twice so it's hard to come up with an actual cost. It was over $350 but less that $400 total. It is a...

    Looking classy brother. How much did that run you? I've been looking for a cue and haven't even looked into the actual conversion lol

    Lemme see those old dufferin conversions fellas

    Had it done and had to do again as I did not like it at first... sent to Proficient Billiards to reduce the butt and refinished the entire cue. I love it. Bought in 1998... converted about 5-7 years ago, Will post a better picture tomorrow. I have 5 more Duff's from 1998... If I can find...

    Does size matter?

    ...of any of my cues. The butt is on the thin side. I ordered it from him at the first SBE... was close to $1000. Got a nice nick in the finish ...had Proficient Billiards refinish it. It's been a Queen for years...never used it again. It's one the nicest looking, best playing cues that I do not...

    The Road Agent, I purchased this from said: “I was told the R-6 was refinished and rewrapped by Proficient Billiards.” Really don’t want to sell it on eBay, thus I will extend listing two more days (4-10-2024 5pm MST). Black-blue/grey veneers in sharp points. New black linen wrap with white...

    Cue Tip Size And Shape Effects

    Most importantly, Happy Easter! I remember playing with a broom a few times, me and my opponent using the same broom. We started chalking it and discovered that stopshots and even drawing the cue ball a foot or two was possible. We were in a biker bar so nobody batted an eye when I pulled out...
