    Who here can afford the opening bid on this cue

    MitchAlsup, I'm fairly certain this was directed towards you. And I tend to agree. The original question was more than likely a rhetorical one. I'm not even going to bite into the argument that, according to you, "I can't see any cue being worth more than $1K to me." I've been down that...

    This got an audible laugh out of me. Nice work Jason.

    The value of "going home"...aka finishing your stroke!

    Lou, I just think you jumped on the defensive wayyyy too early on in this conversation. Agree to disagree I guess.

    Mosconi Cup 2010 - Who would you pick?.

    I only skimmed a couple pages of responses, but to the people who put Charlie Williams on their list, I have to respectfully disagree with you. I think Jay nailed it with Archer, Van Boening, Hatch, Deuel, and Morris. I cannot see replacing a single one of those guys with Charlie.

    The value of "going home"...aka finishing your stroke!

    How many different ways can a person tell you, sincerely and politely, that they aren't trying to demean you or anything you've already learned? Scott had said that he simply wanted to discuss something with you that may help you learn something new. He never said you had to buy into it, he...

    QueenB: Rematch at Q-Master

    Flame account alert. Whatever douche this is, show yourself. If this isn't a flame account, then it's a very ignorant thing to say for your FIRST post on AzB.

    The value of "going home"...aka finishing your stroke!

    To hear Scott tell you this stuff in person would be to hear it in a whole new way. I heard it (and learned it) myself earlier this month. It's good stuff. To each his own, but I can tell you genuinely that Scott is a good guy, and is not intending to talk down to you or speak in a...

    HELP NEEDED....To ID This Cue....

    For what it's worth, I think it says "3 OF 3" on it, (not "30#3" like you mentioned originally) if that helps anyone at all.

    Why Delta 13?

    I'm super curious if anyone can elaborate about the difference between the base model ($39) and the Elite model (over $100). Aside from the fact that one is made overseas and the other in the USA, is there a difference in performance? Seems odd to spend three times as much for something if...

    ever wish you had picked a cooler az handle?

    I was ignored by more than one moderator (including Mike) when I requested a change. When I signed up, I had just come from playing 9 ball with a friend of mine, and I was on fire that day, so he jokingly called me a 9 ball marksman. Therefore, it was the first thing that popped into my mind...

    Does Size Really Matter ? (Pictures)

    I'd say this is absolutely the right forum to post this in. This, the Wanted/For Sale, and the Cue Gallery as well. Thanks for the tip, Redneck Jim. That looks like a cool program.

    UPS Ripped Off My Cue

    That's the thing. At work (not for UPS, but another shipper :grin:) we ship something like 2.4 million express packages per day. Per day! Things like this do happen, unfortunately. I can guarantee that if the driver was the last person known to have the cue (as you mentioned, it was "out...

    The value of "going home"...aka finishing your stroke!

    I'm still working on this as per our lesson together. In my opinion, "going home" is excellent advice for players of all levels.

    Does the Joint Protector help to protect the joint??

    I don't use every cue I own all at the same time. Generally, I use my playing cue and my break cue when I play. That's four joint caps to take off, and four to put back on. And it takes me - LITERALLY - 20 seconds. Well worth it to avoid chipping a joint collar, bending a pin, or getting...

    Does the Joint Protector help to protect the joint??

    For everyone who says don't use joint protectors because they are too lazy to put them on, are you also too lazy to undo your pants before you go to the bathroom? Seriously people, it takes 5-10 seconds of your life.
