This statement literally make NO SENSE whatsoever If a person is critical of gambling, then by default he shouldn't be gambling else he's being hypocritical. You're saying the only people who have the right to criticize gambling are people who gamble??? LMAO now I've heard everything.

Maybe dealers don't rep him. By selling on ebay he is essentially competing against any dealer who would want to sell his cues. What do you do if you deal his cues at $xxx and he sells his on ebay for less?

Get some calipers and measure the cue 1/2" by 1/2" because you can't tell squat from a photo.

ummm, because most people play with 19+oz cues?

Let the other guy make the mistakes.

Might have been a Jacoby or somesuch. In any case, they were hilariously ugly LOL. Are you trolling or are you just new to pool?? The technology of cuebuilding in the last 20+yrs has seen cuemakers coming out of the woodwork. Getting a pro to play with his cue for free and tossing in some cues...

Yeah,,,so? When I say they play with whatever, it's WHATEVER. What the cuemaker(often times an unknown builder just starting out) gets in return is the advertisement of his cue. It's no guessing game, just go up to a player and ask him. What's so hard about that?? Neon sign? THE PLAYER is the...

I don't know where you've been but pros are ALWAYS changing their cues and it's not because they found a better one. You start with point #1...pros need the money. Then point #2...pool players like FREE(don't we all). Somewhere in there, a deal is struck. I remember Mika playing with some of the...

Whoever is paying the player to use his cue.

Shafts are everything. Go to any poolroom and play with all the house cues. There will be a couple that play superior to all other cues. It's in the wood.

The losing player is a crybaby and a dumb gambler. What's the deal about players having to give the other guy a chance to win his money back. In what universe outside of pool is this common courtesy.

That's not a cue, that's a battle ax.

1 - Sharp. 2 - The single most important element is the shaftwood, and it's not even close. Old champion tip, ivory or the old micarta ferrule depending on my mood. Wood to wood joint with an ivory collar. Pin doesn't matter, taper doesn't matter if we're talking "feel/feedback". 18.25oz...

I don't think anyone cares about a third shaft. Two are standard. 3 is not going to make me want the cue more. If you were adding costs, i would say "you keep the third and lemme pay for 2". As for warpage, it depends on the warp. Most cues are never perfectly straight. If one shaft is bad it's...

Everyone has his own idea about what is a good cue, therefore why should a seller be trusted for HIS opinion of HIS cue that HE'S trying to sell. And how do you know you'll get your money back dealing with anyone on a pool forum. Btw ordinary cues don't move. If I wanted an ordinary cue I'd buy...

One of the reasons why the top females have been high profile has been because of earnings, like Fisher in her heyday, and she would never have had an audience to appreciate her talents if the women and men combined because she would simply have not won. She would have been hilited on tv...

There is no "standard". Try ordering different cues from different makers and ask for "standard taper", and see how many tapers you get, if not replies asking you what you mean. You want the hardest hit, therefore the stiffest taper.

The women should have a chance to win something.. How can you not see that the men play a totally different game than the women?? The physical-ness of the game has nothing to do with it. Just look around at your coed pool league, or maybe watch some mens A-player CRUSH a top female pro. There...

Sorry I got lost looking for your first period

You can do this on your own, you know. I did. Start with course grit sandpapaer and get finer and finer, ending with 1000, 2000, 4000, and finally imperial lapping film by 3m. Hold the sandpaper in your hand and run it up and down the length of the shaft ALL THE WHILE TURNING THE SHAFT WITH THE...
