Text from Greg Thursday says Nov 7th is the goal. Dave

Although I appreciate a cue maker being able to test hit his products to insure that his/her finished product plays the way the maker intended. Additionally, if a cue maker plays pool at a higher level, then chances are, the maker is sympathetic to traits most commonly favored by players...

I actually like that idea. And if you're good with it, we can play straight pool. I've always wanted to play a little more straight pool but it's hard to defined anybody that wants to play. Dave

I miss my Wes Hunter, my Barnhart, and my Josey......but I love my Sugar. Having said that, I'd buy any of the four makers based on pics alone because I know what I'll get. Dave

I don't go nowhere w'out sum shugga! Yeah, let's hit some. Seriously looking forward to get back to playin regular again. Out of town jobs are done, and life is slowly returning to normal again. Now if I could only find a better paying job! Been trying to climb a rung less ladder for too long...

I think I remember Greg telling me something like two 9 footers, and the rest will be 7 footers. All diamonds. Looking forward to it as Felt is just too much of a drive to make 2-3 days a week to get into any kind of a practice routine, and I can't play the Sunday tournaments at Felt BECAUSE...

I have to agree and disagree with you. Disagree: it depends on your definition of lower level player and by that I mean how low of a level. I agree that in the beginning, players need to learn with center. But on the other hand, the use of English is a vital part of any stroke or game, and...

Don't let it go! I used to own one that could have been this cues sister only mine was a curly or fiddleback maple fore arm. Same inlays and rings in the butt. Regret getting rid of it, and probably never will be able to afford to get it back. Your price is sick! I'd pay an additional 1K for it...

Snooker players have typically done better playing pool than pool players playing snooker, but one of the reasons I think a snooker player really hasn't come over and dominated was brought to my attention while watching a match between Archer and Ronnie. They were both miked up, and hearing...

You'll get all you want at Felt. Dave

I remember when Earl used to post here, and he used his real name. dave

Bottom right all the way. I'd never play to put the cb on the same side as the 8 unless I had to. Place the cb in a spot that gives you a thick enough cut to come to the side without the 8 ball. The degree of cut you need on the 7 varies from player to player. I also think trying to follow to...

I would love to butt heads with somebody that walked into a game proudly announcing that he was a hustler. Dave

A file..........

Sometimes just cleaning the surfaces of the butt and shaft that make contact when assembled can make the difference.

I think it's a dying breed of a type of person and his or her mentality. The one thing I noticed in my 20 years in Japan, and the 5 years I've been back in the states, is that for the most part the players that are willing to play for the larger amounts of money are the guys that are broke all...

I'd take 9 ball any day, especially on a 9 footer. However, I my opinion are based on the fact that I consider myself a much better 9 ball player than an 8 ball player. Additionally, I'm thinking only in terms of big tables. I'm also referring to a situation where there is a considerable...

I agree with the safes and kicking game being almost if not more important than pocketing skills. I've played people that scared the hell outta me every time I locked them up with what I thought was a good safe simply because I couldn't predict what they would come back at me with. I remember...

It's always been my opinion that for the most part, the quality of the shaft woods that you would likely get from a custom cue maker, will be a good enough shaft and stable enough to 'tweak' to your more favorable specs. I currently play with a Sugartree that I have not altered in any way...
