No, it was just an oversite or error. Laurie admitted it was a mistake and apologized. She double checked the paperwork and the paperwork was correct.

On the bottom, it was supposed to have just the veneers not the "double rail road". The error that was made was actually a $150 (i think) option. I didnt care about the money, but I would have preferred it the way I ordered it. The one on the left is what I wanted and the one on the right...

Richard Black - I had Rick Howard make a shaft for it. Needless to say it plays awesome.

I giggle at this thread.....but maybe I can share a bit more information for those who are not familiar with Southwest. Once Laurie gets ahold of you and telling you your number is up, then she gives price sheet, wood, and veneer options for your cue. After you give Laurie your choices and...

Buddy and I played in the same pool room in Paducah, Kentucky. I asked him several questions over the years. 1.) He laughed when I asked him his high run in straight pool, he said maybe 50 as he never played it. 2.) The most he ever made was $100K in one year in Tulsa. I was sure that it...

When I lived in Memphis the players there told about CJ coming to town to gamble. He played a local shortstop (great player) and CJ lost his entire bankroll, then played using his Gus Szamboti as a stake, and then after losing that, played using a Balabushka for the next set and lost that...

Honestly, I used to review Ebay daily looking for deals and just looking for a "deal". I seldom look and I am confused at people posting cues that are probably $5-8K cues for $50,000. There are a bunch of cues that I must admit I shake my head. Help this old timer - why in the heck would...

What does EDC mean? Ken

It baffles me how people spend money on these production cues that will always lose value and certainly dont play as well as lower end custom. I recommend a second hand Rick Howard cue or similar. If it has "battle scars" you can always send to Scot Sherbine a proficient billiards for a...

Are these supposed to be Schick? Ive never heard of a SHICK.

I dont mind losing, just dont want to give it away......

When your number is called from Laurie at Southwest she requires a 50% deposit, not 20%. Ken

My point is if we want to keep young players it would be great to move to a location where youngsters could come. I know the DCC is making a ton from the hotel, the casino, percentages from the resturants and others paths. Its just a shame. Ken

This year I am just going on Friday Saturday and Sunday of each week. I have gone to EVERY DCC. Some advancement, with the player boards and the scoring screens at each table. I had something that just about broke my heart last Saturday. A father had brought his young son, (maybe 10 - 12)...

Another thing in my mind and I think it is others, is the wack job cuemakers, who make promises and rip people off. I felt like I was the golden goose maybe 10 years ago. I was commissioning (2) or more cues from various cue makers EVERY YEAR. Finally, after getting ripped off from...

I did have a chance to check out cue, its 18 ounce including the new shaft. Rick's new shaft weighs in at 3.8 ounces and 13mm. The original shaft is exactly 12mm. Played a few racks with each shaft, and plays great with Rick's shaft. The 12mm is smaller than I normally play with but you...

All - I guess I am a sucker for these simpler cues. Just back from a refinish and new wrap. Rick Howard did the refinish and he said he used old Blue Mountain wrap that he got from Richard decades ago. Rick made a new shaft and we retained the old orignal shaft that has been either...

So did you buy it? You sound like keyboard champion and cue buyer wanna be. Ken

I am going to be there Friday - Sunday on both weekends. I am the good looking guy in the photo on left. Please stop and say hello and we can have a beer. Ken
