    Thank you, Billy Incardona

    Billy's banter with Grady was a unique flavor,and in the time I spent with him we discussed it. He told me that even though you might hear them talk bad to each other at times,that it was just a part of the way their personalities both complimented and clashed with each other,but they both had...

    In Question of Wood Finish

    With those parameters,something along the lines of a finishing epoxy might actually put a coating on it. Hand sanding something like that and coming up with an acceptable end result is gonna be tough action,but doable. Post pics when you do,this should be interesting :cool:. Tommy D.

    R Cue Doctor Shaft cleaner

    I haven't used that product,but there is another powdered bleach/cleaner out there that will work if used correctly. https://cheapcues.com/q-clean-shaft-cleaner/ It's been a LONGGGG time since I used it because I found a better method before the Magic Eraser came along,then switched to it...

    In Question of Wood Finish

    I've seen USA McDermott cues from a generation ago where I think there were using a high tech UV? That stuff was like 1/32 thick,LOL. One of my first customers for something other than a tip or ferrule brought me a new shaft but wanted it to fit a different joint style McD butt where the pin...

    Beat Fats?

    In the time I spent with the late Grady Mathews,he basically tells it the way Jay described it,his real strength was generating action/hype,and entertainment as opposed to his actual game. "Don't get me wrong,he beat everyone I ever saw him play that he was SUPPOSED to beat,like if a cocky...

    To sand or not to........?

    The reason combining oil with CA works for finishing is the same reason it might not work for tips. That reason is the CA cures much slower,and maybe not at all without help when you add oil. This is why I've been wiping the ferrule with denatured alcohol for as long as I can remember,but I...

    other one piece tips

    If you like something on the harder end of the spectrum,there is an excellent tip still out there if you look hard enough that was made and marketed by Tad Kohara under the name Tad Tips. I only saw them for sale as a 2 pack,and they were 15.00 back in the mid 90's. If you aren't comfortable...

    Tips pros use... Surprise !

    I had a conversation with Earl at the 2000 U.S. Open at Joe Blackburn's booth and at the time he was using his own hand selected Triangles out of a sandwich bag he had in his case. He was warming up for a match and instead of changing shafts because of something being off,he walked out into...

    Tyler Styer and Zach Marquardt tummble on the tundra Aug 29th & 30th

    I can't tell much at ALL from what I watched...in 45 min or so I saw that Zach pocket like 3 balls,and executed 2 safeties badly,the rest of the time was Tyler running out. What did the final score wind up being? Last I heard it was like 44-7 or some shit :confused:. Tommy D.

    Dennis Orcullo vs Corey Deuel 2019 Derby 1-P https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN0HmyAKqwk I started to watch this match and immediately I got this this uncontrollable chuckle going...because it struck me how much Dennis reminds me of Mr Nussbaum from the Steve Martin movie The Jerk with that...
