Tony Welcome. I was just out there for opening day at Emerald Downs. I shot the Muckles, too (little joke there). Always love Auburn. tim

I had one that he made before he died. I sold it, should have never done it, but I did. Nice work. I did pick up his 13th cue made. Its absolutely fabulous. I don't see how folks pay so much for these up and coming cuemakers and skip over a guy like chet. Nice guy too. tim

"clear the mechanism" is what Kevin Costner used as a 40 year old pitcher in Yankee Stadium. If you can't, you are always going to get the worst of it. So, if you cant change them, concentrate harder! Alternatively, you could play good for the goose as for the gander.....hold a knife to the...

Scott, what does Jerry Powers have to do with the I shaft ? BTW, which I shaft was it ? tim

I have a tape with him from the 70's. He was teaching the draw shot. He concluded with "you'll make more money and less friends..." I always thought that line was a riot. tim

ta freakin da! Finally. Ding ding ding! Right on point! Which is exactly why there is such a huge difference in the hit of cues with different joint sizes (not the pin, the joint itself). G10, 5/16x18, aluminum radial or good old wood (like the deano or dieckman) all have low weights at the...

Nice Job Ray. One thing I've always thought about 14.1 is this. If you run a few racks of 9 ball and win a match, nobody really cares and you'll have long since pissed the money away by the time anyone asks. However, you run 50 in straight pool ? I don't care who you are, that, my friends...

Too front-weighted ??? Geez, sounds like a problem I'd like to have! So, what's the model number on this thing ??? tim

Goodness knows that nobody criticizes cuemakers in the forum! Everytime a deal goes bad for any reason, you'll find it documented here! So, I don't know why the heck cuemakers shouldn't join in the fun???!!! tim

Charlie For someone who pretends to know everything, you don't know much. YOu certainly didn't know enough to listen to anyone's opinion on this cue purchase. You were told up front that it was a waste, and I'm sure we would have told you to go through Nusbaum (if we hadn't already). No...

I'm curious about how you are cleaning your table ? Vacumming, wet rag or other ? Could you tell us ? tim

Steve, that's too funny! LFAO! tim (a devout bud draft drinker)

You should consider a joss. Much thicker butt. Only problem is that they hit kinda soft. Fine if you like that type of hit. I put a Tiger Ultra on mine and it really tightened up the hit. I could let it go for $550. The cue went for almost $800 new and the shaft is worth about $200. So...

John Nice looking cue. I remember this when Joe had it. Could you explain what you didn't like about the cue ? thanks, tim

It looks like you had it refinished. Did you ? If so, did you let go of the logo or find some way to keep it ? I've got a ton of D's myself that need refinishing, but I'm not crazy about having McD replace the butt with the new material. tim

Mostly by betting with "B" players. Either you'll become one or go broke and give up the game. "C" players are made through practice (and little talent), "B" players have talent, but generally not enough time/committment to get to the next level and "A" players combine immense talent, practice...

I don't need to have met you. You are as transparent as glass.

Aside from the fact that you would be tieing up someone's cue and your money for six months (it would be construed as a deposit, not a loan), there is another very important fact which lead to the "saving solution". By the time you get to September, I will lay odds that you will have changed...

I'm ready to sell my PG BG. Its one of the better looking BEM one's I've seen. Micarta ferrules and matching JP's. Two shafts. FV is $1K, but I'll allow some cash for a small chip on the butt. Harris has already consented to refinish the butt. I'll try to find my pics.

You can also contact mike johnson of jensen cues. Not having a vice is easily cured by a run to Lowes. Get the one with the clamp on the bottom. You are sure to have someplace in the house to clamp it to. Then, buy the biggest elkmasters you can, put them in milk, stick em in the micro for...
