    If Pool can be a Chess Game, Why are Chess Players Better Off?

    Why is worldwide chess a smaller audience. It may be the most played, downloaded, analysed stratagem, ubiquitous game on the planet(in it's regional forms). But it IS boring to watch and that's why it's not televised. If it makes you feel better, a scruffy pool player placing in a local tourney...

    Top 3 best playing cues you have played.

    Old, like late 80's early 90's Jerry Franklin, plain jane SW's. I don't know why, but I've played with 4 of them and they're the best Southwests I ever hit with.

    Quitting winner.

    Why is that. The bet is made. Bring it or lose it! Is it because pool players carry their life saving in their pants pocket?

    How come pool doesnt't have a mecca.

    One major reason for pool being where it is is that it has always been splintered, with everyone looking out for themselves. That and pool not being a major game makes any kind of "mecca" not playing a part in the fabric of it's identity.

    Playability & Durability Only

    e by the same builder? Made by the same builder? fancy inlays, more expensive materials Made by different cuemakers? Could be anything, like one building the $500 cue might be a better builder than the other guy.

    The splice makes the cue stronger. A change of woods in the points, changes the feel and mass to the player's preference. It is also an effective way to control the balance point. A solid piece of wood, as you're suggesting, was never thought of as ideal. What is ideal is that the cue plays...

    How is Dale Perry able to make such beautiful inlaid cues & sell them for under $150

    No, it's very easy to see. Look at the side points on the diamonds. They do not line up with the rings. Example: the diamond above the DP logo - it's left point aligns with the bottom black ring and it's right point aligns with the top black ring(the two black rings that sandwich the metal ring)...

    How is Dale Perry able to make such beautiful inlaid cues & sell them for under $150

    KJ, I don't know if you're mocking me or agreeing with me or saying "well, that's technology". Does it matter? You have a huge markup on materials alone. You inlay a dowel with ivory, slice it up for rings, and all of a sudden X ivory inlays becomes 4X ivory inlays. And all you did was slice...
