    Help with cue Identification......

    Hey Guys...hopefully this can help you and get some help for myself in the process...This cue I know was bought between '84 and '86, I know it's a Mali but I don't know a model number. When I first saw Shamadam's pics I thought it was the same cue as mine...upon looking closer I see that mine...

    Feedback requested - Is this design worth pursuing??

    I kinda dig it and threw some of my ideas for the "D" and "E" below...feel free to use them in any way you'd like. I use a site, www.cafepress.com , you don't have to have shirts printed in advance and people can buy products with the logo on damn near anything. So you're never out any costs...

    Confused!!!: Break cue tips vs. Pocketing balls on the break

    Hell, I've only had 8-9 posts on this forum, I might as well throw my hat into the ring. I'm not going to voice an opinion, only ask a simple question and provide my own answer to it. The remainder of the conversation is up to y'all. What does a tip do to the action of a cue ball on the...

    Observations about Meucci Cues

    This is such funny timing to me, and I must admit I haven't read the entire thread, just the first couple pages.. I was out Saturday night and took my Mali (circa ,86 and I'll post pictures soon to hope to get a model number)...but anyway... I let a good shot I know take an inning with it and...

    which shot spins more???

    I've just read through this thread and I think it's awesome...My two cents..if it's worth even that. In my opinion we haven't defined spin. Both arguments are solid, especially to include the physics information. To me, spin means the difference a player is able to make over the natural...

    Buying new set of balls

    I must say that I'm pretty glad I started this thread as well. Not solely for the great information and insight, but for the kind words and warm welcome. I was taught old school from a student of Ray Martin's and the people around back then were always a fraternity, or a society of their own...

    Buying new set of balls

    Dang you Joe....:smile: Looks like we were both writing responses at the same time...I'm again torn. From the sounds of it I really can't go wrong with either choice. Now I've suddenly flipped back to the Centennials because that's what was ingrained in me years ago. Maybe I'll find a...

    Buying new set of balls

    Such good info in a short amount of time....Thank you both. The same wise man that told me about the Centennial's years ago also told me..."green's the only color cloth that should ever be on a pool table"..as a result I'm going with the "Simonis Green"...I've seen that all the major...

    Buying new set of balls

    Good day all, I've been out of the game for about 19 years or so....I haven't played with anything better than a bar stick and not on a table bigger than 8' since '89....but I'm back now. No longer being a teenager I'm able to pretty much outfit myself with the best equipment on the...

    Greatest 9 Ball Player Dead/alive

    For me...Rob Wolfe.....greatest road player I've seen. I grew up in Eastern/Central PA in the mid to late 80's...Allen Hopkins, Low Butera, Jim Rempe, Ray Martin, and of course Jimmy Matz are all from that neighborhood in that time frame and Rob should be in that class. He styled his play...

    Photoshop help

    Chesscat, By trade I'm a cinematographer, mostly self taught actually and began my career asking questions much like yours. Photoshop is an AMAZING tool that not only aids the extremely gifted artist (which I am not) but allows the average user an opportunity to manipulate images to their...

    Verl Horn cue for sale

    Indeed a great cue, deserves another bump just in case, just dumped most of my "disposable cash" into a new table and a Mali (not that the Mali comes even close to a Verl Horn original), so I'm not in the market for a new cue too soon..on a side note, Jack Shurtz is one of the nicest guys I've...
