Cat got your tongue Slim? Good.

You make me laugh! Thanks! I forget the exact words .. is it “ignorance is bliss” ?

Question all you like. In my entire lifetime, I’ve sent exactly one cue to PB, and that was two weeks ago. Their work was outstanding. I also clearly stated that I’m NOT a professional cue maker and don’t pretend to be one. I’ve never once said anything different. As far as PB goes...

So you're too expensive because you live on the East Coast but I'm not since I live in Chicago? It's a shaft, I ship them all the time, it's not outrageous. Maybe you are just so much more talented than the rest of us that your work costs a ton more?

You also posted a question about finding a red alpha navigator tip, looking for help on that. I posted a recommendation for you on where to find them. You could also offer to re-taper the shaft for him in your shop, correct?

I certainly could do the work and have everything I need to do that. However, as you would have no way of knowing unless you follow some of my other posts, I am in the middle of a move from Chicago to Jacksonville. The moving van comes Monday and my whole shop is packed up already. I am a...

I have an answer for you but you don't allow PM. Send me a PM and I'll shoot you a link. Its a very popular supplier, they have them.

Proficient Billiards will do that job for you.

I've now installed dozens of these tips with 100% positive feedback. This is my go-to break tip that I recommend for all of my customers.

My experience with the ceramic has been great. I have it on probably 20-25 customers cues right now and everyone seems to like it. It definitely helps with keeping chalk off of the shaft, it just wipes off. Super slick surface. Costs almost nothing, I'm still on my first bottle. This is...

I've done a lot of CL sales, every one with a clearly visible holstered 45 on my hip when I answer the door. Ground rules established right up front.

Funny thing about golf vs pool for me. One set of PXG's and I don't find myself wanting or needing another set. For Pool, I seem to like to have a larger collection that I can switch between depending on my performance or desire that day. Sometimes I want plain and simple, sometimes a larger...

I highly recommend Proficient Billiards. They just turned around a full refinish for me in less than a week and did an awesome job. Not the cheapest but their work is outstanding and turn around time very reasonable. Days, not weeks.

Agreed, I'm not a fan of the Paua shell. I think the playing card theme has run it's course as well but I still want a Casino-10 in my collection.

I still own Meucci cues that I bought in the early 80's. Not one of them has now, or has ever had, any warp or cracking issues. The only time I sent one in for "repair" was to have it refinished due to 30 years of wear. I simply wanted a refresh. They did an awesome job, despite taking...

I for one, am still a Meucci fan. I currently own five and have bought and sold about 10 others with no problems. I did endure the long repair cycle under the last year of the prior ownership but now that Seth and his partner have taken over the company, I already see positive change. Turn...

So, I've been thinking about this construction. If the handle is one-piece, how thin the wall of the rings would need to be given that the leather is fairly thin and you would want a flush transition from leather to ring to leather. Perhaps the handle is three pieces so that you can have a...

Wow. That's really impressive. I've not seen that before and really like that look. I may have to build one of those to try it out.

Not something I've ever seen or heard about, I'd love to see one. So does this mean that you may have several different wraps along the length of the handle? Interesting. I'll bet that is a bitch to deal with the seams if the wraps are too different. I already hate installing the heavily...

I have a very nice Lucasi that is near their "high-end". It has been flawless so far and is one of my favorite cues in my collection. I have no issues whatsoever with this cue. I use it in league weekly with no issues. It was $800 new and I added a Revo to it. Love the feel. Friends that...
