I disagree. I would get the cue refinished if you plan on keeping it. It isn't worth much, it will never be worth much. Collector value? Nope not really. It has a great history, and if you like it refinish it, and enjoy the cue. I have a couple Corvettes and folks are always saying...

I would send it to Scot at Proficient Billiards. Seems pretty silly not to get it refinished. Ken

I agree with you Lou, but I didn't see in the thread the real reason that lower level players don't improve. THEY DONT PRACTICE and SPEND THE TIME AT THE TABLE. They argue over handicaps and other bull$hit that doesn't make them better. Everyone wants to talk about eyes, stance, stroke.....I...

I have made more money on Meucci cues than any cue I have ever bought and sold. Buy them for $50-150, and sell them the next day for $200. Fast and easy. Meucci made a hoppe cue (old one) that I have only seen once in person, but that is probably the only one I would have any interest in...

I would also play the 1 rail. I could keep the cue ball out of the way and not leave a sell out bank to his pocket with the cue ball up table. Ken

I assume picking bugs off table. Ken

If I am inappropriate let me know. What was the CAUSE of him falling? Never met him, but he seemed to be having fun no matter what was going on. He is in my prayers and thoughts. Ken

Well I guess I should have said it as it was told to me. Any POOL PLAYER that EVER met Mosconi thought he was an a$$hole. Apparently you aren't a pool player. Sigel was an amazing talent, but he is an a$$. Ken

I play a game of opposite. I made up this game and I have learned quite a bit. In most shots, there is more than one way to get to the next shot. For example if you would get to the next shot with draw, use the opposite (follow) to try to get to the ball. The same with inside and outside...

Eating pizza and drinking beer. Lazy bastard. Ken

Agreed. I have seen a couple matches where Tony missed a ball that he couldn't afford to miss, and he did. I like Tony and got to talk to him after he murdered my buddy Skyler at DCC. I might get slammed for this about Scott Frost. IMO, Scott has never been the same after Alex pounded him...

Interesting post, seriously. I have always thought the opposite. Efren playing Jason Miller in the one pocket finals at DCC years ago. Jason is a straight shooting son of a gun, but in the finals Efren beat him 3 games straight in about 50 minutes. Jason never had a shot. IMO, if you are...

I was worried that might happen. He is awesome builder, prices are really low, IMO. Sounds like more folks have found this out and flooding him with orders! I have used him for years for work, and building me cues. Never once had an issue. And as too many of us know, that's pretty rare...

Even when I was just starting to play some 30 years ago, I knew mostly just the guys I saw on TV. The exception was two players. Walden and McCready "California Keith". I had never seen either of them play, but I had heard the stories about them. So it appears neither were hustlers, more...

Every pool player I have ever met that actually met said Willie Mosconi was an a$$hole. He may of been one of the greatest of all time, but the first thing I always hear about him was he was an a$$hole. No doubt Siegal was a great player, I only met him two times looking at his POS cues...

Sigel is/was such a jerk. I hope he has millions, because he would need it to have a few friends. Compare him to Nick Varner - a real ambassador for pool and just a great champion. Ken

Never met him. But I guess I think when guys like Mike Roberts or a lot of our cuemakers pass away, they have left a legacy of their work. Most of us cant say that. Ken

At the cost of used Gold Crowns I, II and III's, I think it is crazy to buy something else. As mentioned above, $500 - $1000 depending on condition. Used Diamond tables when I was looking was $2K and up for beat the hell out of tables. That table listed will be fine for use. Unless you...

Reminds me of a local tournament that I played in. My wife came with me and we ate appetizers and drank draft beers (several). I won the tournament, and ended up less than $20 in hole considering entry $10, food and drinks. It was worth a laugh because I thought I could at least break...

That would be Bill Schick.....;) The rest are just fighting for second place....:thumbup: Ken
