never and i mean never judge someone by the gear they carry. people overestimate my game all the time by the stuff i have. i have a custom cue, a lomax jumper, a nice instroke case, and i am mediocre at best. when asked why i have nice gear if i'm not that good, my answer is simply - at the...

i have a lomax. great cue, great guy.

i don't mind you staring a thread to let everyone know that you or someone you know has taken over the brand (which you did) but searching out a year old thread to answer a year old question is a bit silly.

steve lomax, lane symons, danny t, are some of the cuemankers around here that can do it. the gentleman at marrietta billiard club who was mentioned, l.g. at mr. cues, and a handful of players who have lathes in thier home - i had clay fisher put some tips on for me and they were perfect. he...

james i don't think most of us are complaining. i think most like me are happy we get to play a guy like jeff for a cheap weekly league fee. the only other ways i can play guys like that is to pay a minimum of $50 bucks for a donation to a tournament or gamble. being that i am fairly broke these...

jeff has told me about his brother playing too. here's the kicker about running in the family - from what jeff says if you run into thier dad - don't ask to play him in 3 cushion, or 14.1. apearantly old dad can put some runs together. for what it's worth to add to this discusion and about...

great. another one of you guys i have to stay away from:smile: even though you didn't win it sounds sounds like you played a decent tournament congrats.

yep. you're the guy i'll take advice from:shocked2:

that was the crux of my conversation. but i see his point that if you have a 40+ hour a week job, that is your profession. at best you're a part time player. the real issue is that there is no standard definition of "pro" in the us. most tournaments are listed as "open". which means amateurs and...

off the top of my head we have apa / apa masters, bca, tap, acs (which i believe is simillar too or the same as bca) and just started upa and napa divisions. the apa has at least one division playing every night from sunday to thursday in one or more places, and the bca has about four or five...

i know where you're coming from and i know you weren't saying anything bad about jeff. and i hear ya. it's tough to fade playing those players. jeff can tell you i am a legitamate 6 in 8 ball and 7 in 9 ball. i play as a 7 in bca and a 6 in upa. and all that equals is i can't hang with jeff or...

jeff doesn't sandbag. he's at the highest rating in every league he plays in and any handicapped tournaments i have watched him play in he plays near the top of the chart. p.s. you have been putting out some nice cases john. people have posted pics of some nice work.

so here goes nothing. i don't think jeff will mind, well i hope he won't. if he does i'm sure i'll get a call. i know jeff well. i have played on apa teams with him, he is currently on my upa 9 ball team and i have played against him in bca and apa since i moved here in 07. jeff is a great guy...

i carry a standard black 3x5 instroke leather case. my jumper is a lomax with a maple shaft and black handle sections. the breaker is a players with a maple shaft and all black handle no wrap. nothing special about those, you can find standard photos on line. here is a link to one of the posts...

SuperCoupe5 uh huh. yep. ok. go to your private messages at the top of the page there is a box that says "jump to folder". press the arrow and and a drop down menu appears that gives you the option between inbox and sent.

when i was working and had cash i did it all the time. it's a large part of why, for a while anyway, i played better. i played in some of shannon's and some of mike janis' events. i played in a bca division that was strong as hell and two sessions in apa masters. and on one occasion gambled...

i would have to disagree with the "sponsor" qualification. anybody can get a sponsor. if you a have a friend that has a sucessful business and he wants to give you money to enter a few tournaments and wear a patch or tshirt with his company's logo, would getting extra money in that way really...

not bad at all man. i wish i had the talent to draw or paint. i have always admired anyone who could. good for you. keep on posting when you have something new.

i think they play ok. but some of them, the last time i looked, were going fairly high into the $600-700 range. you can buy some decent custom made cues for that price range. i don't think they are worth that. but that's me. if a person likes the cue it's worth what he wants to pay.

gotta love earl. crazy as hell, still one of my favorites.
