They learned to play pool and not worry about BS, like LD, etc. and didn’t switch cues and crap every other week trying to stay up with the market. It wasn’t the cue that made them great. It was the determination, training, and work ethic. If you think SW cues are the greatest in the world...

They do it on the cheap. Every one that I have seen has been a lookalike instead of a cue with the exact dimensions and the same quality of materials. To me, my Jackpot plays better than any SW I have ever tried. Other than the Chinese, who do you see proclaiming that SW cues are the best...

If there was one cue that everyone agreed played the best, there would be a giant factory making an exact duplicate of THAT cue and taking over the entire market.

I remember those, but never tried one. I remember Fast Larry raving about them.

Maybe a spring-loaded shaft with a laser sight that just points and shoots while I watch Gunsmoke reruns on YouTube on my phone.

If you are going to come here and make posts like that, explain what the hell you are talking about or put a link to the story!

Coos Cues are hidden gems.

Today, the attractive, younger, higher-income guys are out with their boyfriends at some yuppy bar drinking Flaming Floozies or at some beauty parlor getting their eyebrows man-scaped. There are 1000 times more ugly, all-age, lower-to-middle income guys that you need to interest in order to...

If you dedicate extensive amounts of time and energy into a single endeavor, you, more than likely, become more adept at it than a person who spends less time at it. I had a PHD in pool before I ever got out of high school. That was because I worked in a pool hall as a kid and all the way...

I have never owned a cue with no bumper (i.e., original Brunswick Hoppe), but I have banged around with several and it seems that they have a different “hit/sound” than cues with bumpers. I ordered a cue from Richard Black, back in 1978, and originally asked for a Hoppe design. He told me not...

I know you didn’t. If I were a cue maker, I would not quote a price for a cue that I knew I couldn’t make within a year. I would adjust my price annually based upon what I thought people may pay for one. If they don’t buy, lower the price. If they still buy, increase the price. Supply vs...

Never done it, but nothing wrong with cue flippers. Anybody can be a cue flipper. Plenty on here. Once you buy an item, it is yours. What you do with it after that is nobody’s business. Once an item becomes that desirable, it is want based upon name recognition only. The people then buying...

We need people like Keith to attract viewers. People who have unique personalities, show emotion, and create an experience other than watching a ball slow roll into the pocket. Pool needs celebrities. They need to create a reality show where a pro matches up with a well-known celebrity and...

You can’t discuss restrictions without bringing politics into play. Restrictions are put into place by “policies”. ”Policies” of this magnitude are created and put into motion by “politics”.

The Chinese are probably sweating the Winter Olympics.

If your cue pings, change gas. I hate cues that make loud pings when you hit the cue ball. :)

Some of the brands don’t look, nor feel, anything like the old stuff.

Not the most I ever won, but I beat the owner of a Gulfport, MS poolroom out of all his and his buddies’ money in his brother’s bar in Biloxi one night. He went in the room behind the bar and came back with a small brown paper bag full of jewelry and tried to get me to buy some or play for some...

What brand white/green speck today is the closest to Cortland?

That may be the case. I have never wrapped one myself. Every time I have had a cue done, they told me it would take 50 yards.
