Well there you go again. I was interested in the playing level of the guy who got better using CTE. If you had just said "I don't know" or "beginner" then that would have been the end of it.

Pete Tascarella recommends butcher's wax for protecting worn areas on a Balabushka.

Agreed. :) Unfortunately, he died when he was only 21 so we never knew how good he could have been. :(

It was just a joke. Relax. I'll throw in a smiley face next time. :) I played a lot of golf years ago but never got beyond the recreational level. I could hit pretty well but I had no consistency. I could par one or two holes in a row and then hit a triple bogey, mostly because of duffed...

Exhibit A: Pro Golfer

I agree that it is a sport. When I first heard the idea that some didn't consider it a sport I laughed it off. However, for purposes of this discussion, sport or not, an argument can be made that golf is not in the same class as football or basketball. For instance, what makes more sense as a...

You've mentioned this before. It's interesting but have the skill levels been proven out by actual large numbers of people playing or is it something Hopkins came up with? I'm not saying it isn't accurate, only wondering if the numbers prove out in reality. Maybe there should be an AZ...

I haven't read every post in this thread, so apologies if this has already been said. I think "sport" is too broad a category. When automobiles are compared, a Yugo is not compared to a Ferrari. They are compared to others in their class. I would break classes down into something like this...

Well then your opinion is wrong.

It's not criticism at all. I could explain the question to you but there's really no point. Oh, and CTE is not objective.

What an odd thing to say.

Maybe he needs CTE in his life.

It would be nice to have Mr. Byrne's win in context. Is he a beginner? A pro? What big tournament did he win?

I said I would not post in this thread again, a year and a half ago, and I haven't. I did not agree, however, to bite my tongue when my position is being mischaracterized and history rewritten. Let's leave it at that.

I think we should give logdog some slack. He did put a number on what he wants for the cue so what more can you ask?

@Logdog: It's an honest question. For instance, if you asked me what I'd sell my cue for I come up with a figure that is much higher than it's true value. If someone offered me $30,000 for my cue today I would not take it. Ask me again in 10 years and I might jump on that, might not. In...

Maybe we are approaching this the wrong way. You are not willing to sell the cue at market price if that market price is not to your liking so the question becomes what is your minimum price?

Everyone knows you won't take a nickel less than $18000. If three people tell you it's worth $18000 then you will wait for $20000. Maybe just put it back in the closet and let your heirs deal with it. IMO.

LOL. I agree, but I know what he's saying. Sometimes I read a thread that interests me about this or that player, or something that happened, and then I see that the thread is 12 years old! D'OH!

It's not even close. IMO it's like 10% aim at most and 90% everything else.
