    Need your help to identify my Schon Unique!

    Perhaps you mean to say other Elites/LTD's have been variations of Uniques. That I cannot comment on. But to say "Uniques have been variations of other Elites" based on what you've seen here, I would have to disagree. From all the Schon cues that I have seen and owned -and I have seen/owned a...

    Need your help to identify my Schon Unique!

    Schon "Unique" cues have always been truly "unique" in their looks/designs and are one of a kind. This is the only time that I know of where another model has a "look/design" similar to a "Unique".

    Need your help to identify my Schon Unique!

    I believe I was the original owner and picked this cue up Brand New from Evan several years back, as part of a large purchase of Schon cues. IIRC, I bought this cue months in advance before it was even completed. It has a MSRP of $3700. Everything white is Ivory, except the butt cap, with a...

    SVB is the best player on earth

    It's hard to argue against Shane being the best player on earth at this point. And you know what the scary thing is: He still practices harder than anyone. He's like the Tiger Wood: always strive for improvements. That's why they are champions.

    $75 a day for a live stream and you can't afford it? WOW!

    $75 a day is incredibly cheap for skilled labor and the amount of work that you put in, as brought it up. But if the local pool rooms don't even want to put out $75 a day, maybe they don't see any positive returns on it? Here's a POSSIBLE angle to look at why local hosts MIGHT NOT want to put...

    We will change all that. You will see a lot of Diamond tables -the best tables in the world- in DFW area soon. Maybe even that Big Monster 10-foot table.:)

    Rodney Morris Walking the Streets Homeless.....Who's Next???

    Rodney asked me to send 2 more Black Heart tips to his cuemaker goes by the name Barry Szamboti? I hope I spelled his name right. He must be in bad financial shape to play with some unknown cue. ;)

    So many tips, so hard to decide on which one to try!

    Vivian Villarreal, Rodney Morris, Joe Blackburn, Steve Lomax, etc.. have said that the Black Heart Premium Tips are the best playing tips in the world right now. In fact, I am sending 2 more Black Heart tips to Barry Szamboti to be put on for Rodney's cue.

    Don't steal pool cues.

    The police officers recognized this thief right away. So I suspect he will be on vacation for a while. Another vendor got hit yesterday, I heard. Thieves are like cock roaches. You can't get rid of them. :frown:

    Eric, I have never won anything at both poker and pool, so I don't know what it feels like. :o :frown:

    2013 APA Nationals...Who is going?

    Hi Tom, Yes, we will have a big presence there at the APA National. For sure we will display the Volturi cases, if we haven't sold them out already by then as we will show them off first at the BCAPL National Tournament in Rio. I'll see everyone there. Michael.

    The "Exotics" case...

    We have received a couple of shipments so far. I have seen lots of high-end cases from top case makers, and I am very impressed with Roger's work.

    2013 APA Nationals...Who is going?

    If you like music, on the weekends, downtown always has several awesome live bands playing different types of music as well as a host of other activities such as light shows. You can openly drink there, and it's a short cab ride. If you like good food, Circus Circus has a good Steak House...

    FS: absolutely loaded Schon LTD

    Hi Joe, Just so the new owner knows, everything white in this cue is genuine Ivory, not mircata (except the dash ring). This is one of my all-time favorite Schon cues. Congrats to whomever bought this one. I am sure he/she will enjoy it. Michael.

    If Bonus Ball fails...

    It's funny you said that -the bolded part above. I told either Max Eberle or Manny Chau 2-3 weeks ago at the Bally's Casino the same thing. I love everything about the BB thing, except the game itself. I said I hope they were playing 8-Ball instead. :) And I hope that things work out for...

    Ultimate 10 Ball NOT FULL!!! 75,000 ADDED

    I guarantee you Jean Balukas has won with "luck". Everyone who has ever picked up a cue has won & lost due to "luck". Just part of life. But in the long term, the better players will come out on top.

    Ultimate 10 Ball NOT FULL!!! 75,000 ADDED

    Sure, some players will lose a game, or a match, due to "lucks", but they will also win a game, or a match, due to "lucks". The thing about "lucks" is that "lucks" will even out in the long run. In the long run, the cream of the crop will always rise in the game of pool. Take the Derby as an...

    Ultimate 10 Ball NOT FULL!!! 75,000 ADDED

    If I have the power, without a question, 8-Ball is the way to go. It is by far the most popular game in the world, with the most participants. That's a fact. 8-ball is also the easiest to watch -and easiest to identify- on TV.
