A lot of good selections here -- thanks. I got to see Mizerak play a lot because he was local back in the day, and yes, his stroke was "smooth" -- very seamless, fluid, etc. I'll go in a different direction for one that I saw. Maybe it was the event, the environment, etc. -- but I was at a...

We'll agree to disagree.

While I respect your answer to my question, which was "yes" -- your opinion as to why your answer is correct, well, that I respectfully disagree with. What you portrayed about more 7ft tables in a space than 9ft tables is not economics. That's math. Math will certainly, absolutely, tell us that...

Interesting thread. Thanks to everyone for their insights.

Do you really believe that moving forward the majority of the pool rooms in the US will be 7 ft tables (because of revenue per sq. ft,)?

As I said, I am far from an expert, but for me, any 7ft tables I played on seemed like pinball machines, LOL. I feel like a giant on a 7ft table, LOL. Maybe it's altering my stroke, strength, game, etc., but so many of those 7ft tables seemed like super-speedways. That said, I was born and...

Thanks. Me too, LOL. They had one guy there who was there back in the late 80's and early 90's. He said they sold several of those sticks, but he didn't have a lot of info on them. I've seen others throughout the 80's, far fewer from the late 80's and early 90's. I showed it around a couple of...

Thanks. Original shafts, not sure what tips, but I'll find out. Haven't played with it in a very long time, but my dad was up until this month. Someone once told me this specific series was exclusive to Blatt Billiards, but I asked a few people there years ago and they had no idea, LOL.

I think it was called the Billiard Club, or something like that. It was on Route 4 East across the highway from what is today the Crowne Plaza. It was an indoor tennis club and two local guys decided to open a monster pool room. It was a top place then back in the late 80's and 90's. Back when...

Thanks! Trying to upload other pics and I am getting this error message. Sorry. Working on it.

Trying to upload the other pics now. Having a tech problem. Thanks for the advice.

Sorry, I can't seem to post the other pictures. I'll re-send them to myself and try to compress the file. Thanks.

Good morning everyone. I was hoping some of the resident experts could help me with some background information on this cue. Original owner (my dad), purchased new from Blatt Billiards (in 1990). I've searched around online and have found plenty about signed Helmstetter cues, but very little...

I miss him too. Like many others, he had his demons. On his best days, he was a gentlemen. He tried to stay away on his worst days. Wasn't always successful. Who is, LOL. Personally, I think between his demons, and not getting enough games, his prime was much shorter than it would have been. But...

Thank you.

Did I do anything wrong here? Did I inadvertently break a rule here? If I did, I apologize. New member and I screwed up. Is there a proper way to ask about a cue? Thanks.
