    Rip-off Report on Glen, The Real King Cobra

    Deadline problems, as well as way to much work aside... I have been following RKC's work and posts for awhile. It takes time for me to make an informed and educated decision when it comes down to who works on my tables, as well as my friends tables. But reading all this, and as a business man...

    Info on Old Mali

    Too bad the older Mali's are not appreciated more.. My old green logo, even gold logo Mali's shoot solid as can be. My main players for a long time. Newer overseas models not so much IMO. If you go ahead with the purchase I hope you like it.

    Burton Spain on the Market

    I saw that as well. Beautiful cue, and as was said, a tad high on price. But nonetheless awesome...

    how long did it take you to adjust to a new cue?

    Cannot agree more with this.. I have had problems in the past adjusting to new cues with radically different specs. Even cues with not as drastic of a change I still struggled with after weeks of play. So I revert back to the same specs every time now if at all possible.. A few mm on the shaft...

    3 Hours I will never get Back

    That sucks Jim.. Common sense escapes a lot more people than we think. It is nice to have folks think ahead and realize just how much time it takes to figure out what goes were and to whom, without detailed notes with payments. But as you mentioned, it isn't a horrible thing to have happen! Hope...

    Tip broke of the break shaft...

    I had the same thing happen to mine.. Just luck of the draw I guess, only the 2nd time in 15 years I had one fly off on the break. Pretty good percentage if you ask me, so I'll take it!

    Do you offer or try to help other pool players to improve their pool game?

    I run into this a lot actually at the hall I play at. I dont do league play, I prefer to practice alone and play cash games here and there. If someone asks a question or wants to watch me shoot and has questions about a particular shot I will oblige. But only to those who I have seen regularly...

    Brand New Tip Glazer

    They look like an oversized pencil sharpener yes. But they work great, and designed for cues. Simple and neat, cant beat it if you have tips that mushroom often.

    Original Jay Flowers 2x4

    Great case, wish I could have scooped it up. I prefer the front and rear barrel latch as opposed the side snaps. Im not sure if this style of lid was an earlier model, or they did both styles at the same time. IMO the hand written signature cases are much rarer than the embossed versions. I have...

    New shaft break in ?

    The only way I would see that is just by the feel of the shaft. I have problems adjusting to a new clean shaft. Once it gets "broken in" and blued, I am much more comfortable. All about the hand feel and glide for me. I wouldnt guess a new shaft and the exact same shaft a little older would be...

    Shootin alone-how do I get excited?

    It may sound weird but a lot of the time I prefer to play alone and practice. I can concentrate on my game and ball control. I usually pick 2 things I need work on and stick with it every other rack. I will clear a 15 ball rack as I would normally, then re-rack and practice on my problem areas...

    Has anyone talked with Leon Sly lately?

    I may be mistaken but I thought he was on just a few days ago commenting on the age of one of his cues being sold by another member. I assume you have tried a PM?

    Bad Roadside Apples!

    Research is the key to a good experience most of the time, especially with custom cues. Being upset is understandable, but bashing anyone after they have made the situation right monetarily is in bad taste. If this were a case of payment made and no cue received, or plane 'ole no resolution was...

    Ronnie Allen Has Passed

    Very sad news.. I read an interview he did once about his life starting out playing in Oklahoma, and the first tournament he entered, and won, in San Fransisco at Cochrans in '61. Must have been a show watching those guys on a 5x10 table. I remember one of his quotes even years later: "No one...
