I honestly dont know what is going on in this picture.

Mike Gartland - As you know I am supporting getting Ken his cue / money. That being said, how tough would it be to fly wherever the hell Tonkin lives and talking to him face to face? Honestly, I am just curious. I used to commission a couple cues a year from various cue makers. My...

I watched it and wondered if just regular doubles 8-ball would have been better. Simpler to watch, everyone knows the game. JMO ken

These cuemakers should hope I never get cancer......I would put an end to this. I had the same issues with Showman, and was eventually solved with a letter from my attorney. Ken

Why not Pinegar? I have seen him for years at DCC. Without fail, he was an incredible jerk everytime. I wouldnt give him the honor of representing us. That's just me. Character means something. Ken

I seem to remember that several years ago, that Pete sold this Balabushka. I would have never let that cue go. Seems strange that Pete and his family would let this happen. For some reason I thought Pete and Balmer (of Palmer cues) got into movie rentals very early and made a ton of...

It is awful. I try to support it because it is pool related. Ken

Yep, I have one and it is awesome. I wanted a true sneaky so as you can see he did my request. He told me he had some awesome cocobolo and great birdseye. I told him the cocobolo is okay but I wanted straight grain instead of the birdseye. It plays awesome. I can recommend highly. Ken

I have interviewed both of them. While Earl years ago was a force to be handled. He is now just a shadow of his former greatness. I dont know if it is mental health or drug issue but he has turned into a circus act. Sigel for years won (or nearly won) every event he entered. An...

Skyler is my favorite player. I played often with him when he as 13-15 or so. I have interviewed just about every pool player, none of them had the desire that Skyler had. Skyler didnt come from alot of money when he got playing real strong a local backer took him on the road. Prior to...

I enjoy playing with a red circle cueball. Is there any information on that in all this data? Sorry I couldnt find it. Ken

So would they build a custom cue? I thought Adam only made production cues. I am learning! Thank you for your input. Ken

I missed where you posted a price.

I mention this and everyone hates the idea. I was interviewing Allen Hopkins and we got on this topic. His suggestion was the first time I heard this idea. LOSER BREAKS Allen said, "Can you imagine a football team scores a touchdown and then they immediately get the ball back?" His...

Point #1 Well nobody mentioned the difference in equipment. I played on pre Simonis cloth and you had to power the ball. Today, the balls are nearly perfect. Outstanding cues and tips. My point if you look at drag racing in the 60's verses now is it because you have better drivers...

All great cues. Thanks for sharing. Ken

This was posted years ago, and I think about this every time I hear about Jeanette Lee......did they mention the famous calcutta in the Vogue article? First off, I wanna start by saying that I created this account for the sole purpose of telling this story and that everything u read below is...

I always laugh at folks who want a tight table. They say things like it will make you a better player, both players are playing on same table, etc. That tells me they really dont understand much about pool. Why? 1.) In one of the poolrooms I went to, tight pocket nitwits say make it 4"...

My advice is to get a letter of authenticity from Barry with details on the cue. Sure it cost some bucks but it more than pays for itself when you sell. Number of shafts, and size makes a big difference as well and are not shown in pictures and doesnt look like there are any veneers on cue...

I always want a nice pool room with a bunch of 9 foot tables. The necessary evil is tons of 7 foot tables playing leagues as they pay the bills. I think pool rooms today need as many revenue streams as possible, so food, full bar, etc. One of the poolrooms that I used to go often, had...
