    Carbon Fiber Shafts should be Banned

    Great players can adjust to, and play great with, ANY shaft. Period. But, they will have preferences. If you like plain maple shafts because of "whatever" reason, enjoy. CF or LD absolutely 100% DO make "some" aspects of execution EASIER for a lower level/beginner player, and by that same...

    AZB now owns accu stats

    This is fantastic news! I remember seeing my first Accu-stats video 24 years ago while stationed at Hurlburt Field, FL. I turned my dad onto them and he ordered zillions of "tapes". I don't think Pat could have chosen a better person to ensure his creation continues to thrive, well into the future.

    Pool & Comic Art

    Yeah, Alex Ross probably requires a BIG fee to publish his work, and...he's earned it. One of the best! Yep, all you can do is try to sell each one on that permission. I suspect the majority will be fine with it.

    Pool & Comic Art

    Tom Richmond is a superb caricature artist - and artist for Mad magazine. I have a good friend Chance Wolf who inked for Todd McFarlane (Spawn), Jim Valentino (Shadowhawk), and recently helped out Rob Liefeld on a Snake Eyes book. I think your idea is great. Just keep it simple. Share the art...

    Jayson Shaw’s World Record 714 High Run Video

    No, but I watched it on the livestream through Deon's phone. It is legit. You have the Matt_24 certification.

    Cues As Investments

    I don't doubt it. The point was he didn't do it to GET RICH. He did it because he had a genuine passion for what he was doing, patience to buy the right things, and over time it paid off. The world is not fair. Everyone isn't born with the same I.Q. and/or capabilities. For every winner there is...

    Best Moves for a Hustler To Use

    My best hustling story (not about me - I tried to hustle once when I was younger...and made a little money...but I just felt bad about it.). There is a player right now with a recognizable name who is a points leader on one of the pro (semi-pro?) tours. I'm not going to name it, or him. But, in...

    Cues As Investments

    I have a friend who has a passion for antiques. He made a middle-class income, but spent every spare dime on antiques. It was his passion. He'd buy antique SLOT MACHINES and restore them. Antique puppets. Antique posters. Old Tiffany Lamps. Furniture. You name it. He'd buy just anything he liked...

    How do you go about suing a cue builder? Just want to get my cue back.

    Here is the bottom line. I'm sure he's an honest guy. He's the best of the best at what he does so he's going to do what he wants. I'm sure he intends on fulfilling all of his commitments as he is able. I guess you have to fly down and talk to him if you want a timely update because he doesn't...

    How do you go about suing a cue builder? Just want to get my cue back.

    I didn't consider these were players coming in. In my mind's eye I imagined old rich guys farting around with expensive cues wanting this and that done....and to drink coffee and listen to Dennis pontificate while he worked....meanwhile raking in a nice return.

    How do you go about suing a cue builder? Just want to get my cue back.

    Jason, who seems to represent that he has a close relationship with Dennis said that the daily customers coming for repairs and to hang out are what pays his bills. I could see that being true. Repairs can be easily accomplished and extremely lucrative. Dennis probably asks more than the average...

    Best of luck to you, Duc! Wishing you much success.

    That is your prerogative, Jason.

    Thanks for being honest. Are you still impressed with this guy?

    Ive Never Heard Efren Reyes Give a Testimonial For a Pool Cue Before.

    Yes, China is an amazing country with an incredible history. NO country is perfect. I know a pool player who became a millionaire ordering costume jewelry from China and wholesaling it here across the country, starting in the 80s I think. Was maybe the first to consider it, took action, got...

    Ive Never Heard Efren Reyes Give a Testimonial For a Pool Cue Before.

    Well, if you think he said that because he was attempting to be "patriotic" by stating that the fact that the J.Flowers cue is made in CHINA is negative....well, maybe that was his initial intent, however, his post immediately hit me with a sharp tinge of racism. I sure hope I'm wrong. I've been...

    Why is the fact it is manufactured in China a negative to you?
