    Up and coming cue makers to invest in???

    In my experience the big three on the West Coast were always Ginacue, Tad and Southwest.......... They all appreciated in value. Plus, if you needed money they were fairly liquid. Owned them all and played with them. Tad and Ginacue had brand and legacy. Southwest came on very strong...

    New ferrule

    I never liked the hit of a steel joint with an ivory ferrule. Ivory jointed cues to me had a more organic feel that steel joints.

    Zen and the Art of Cue Maintenance

    Well the Butt is what I am talking about getting dinged. That is one of the great features about CF is it doesn't ding like wood. Having a bad ding in a wood shaft would drive me crazy. I was always trying to steam and sand them out. I am so used to CF that I don't miss wood at all. My...

    Zen and the Art of Cue Maintenance

    As far as tips are concerned, if you play with modern layered tips there is nothing to do but put chalk on them. I used to play with expensive cues and now play with a cheap Mezz Butt with their CF shaft and extension. It's all Nippon and it plays great. If the cue gets dinged, I don't...

    Traditional wood shafts making comeback?

    Are the new Tariffs on Goods from China going to affect prices on Pool cues?

    Why are you downplaying all the carnage brought on to Americans because of the manufacturing moving offshore? Whole towns gutted, their working class spiraling down into opioid addiction.

    Are the new Tariffs on Goods from China going to affect prices on Pool cues?

    Without tariffs the US would have never risen to be the dominate commercial power in the world. We would have been treated like a colony who provided commodities and resources . The UK would have been content to destroy our nascent manufacturing base. Alexander Hamilton one of the...

    GENDER IN POOL ... Do Men Play Better Than Women? ... Recent Legal Trial

    Over the years in pool halls or on this forum, folks that questioned the mantra that women would play as well as men were ridiculed. The implication was, that one's life experience had no standing and we were anachronisms. Dr. Dave looks like he put the issue to rest, for the time being...
