This is excellent news. I'm not any good right now, but perhaps if I play at least once a month with excellent competition I can improve...lol.

I just got a pic of a cue that is in the works for me currently and thought I'd post a teaser pic. This picture is incredible but I'm only going to show you one piece of the wood that's going into the cue! :D :P Here you go: This is such an exciting process.

Great site! You have some really incredible cues. I really like the 8-point Hercek and Tascarella as well as the lizard wrapped Bender, the B. Szamboti and the James White! *trying to find a towel big enough to clean up all the drool*

Isn't your elbow always above your forearm? Do you mean you can't raise your forearm above your elbow or elbow above your shoulder?

Ivory will be a little yellow and have a "grain". If it's a solid white color with no striations it's probably just white phenolic.

Great cues Erik! I especially like the Szamboti's, the Bender and the Ebony forearmed DPK. What is the starting price for a Barry Szamboti right now anyhow?

I'm waiting for a couple of friends to get back to me on if they would like to make the trip with me so I don't have my tickets yet, but I'll be there as well!

I was pretty sure it was a boti, but I threw bushka in there since I couldn't remember for sure...lol. I definitely like the hoppe one that he was playing with whenever I saw him last on TV.

Do you have conceal and carry in your state?! Lol...:D

I was going to say, I thought Rodney was playing with a Szamboti or a Balabushka.

If a player misses that ball on purpose and does not call it as a defensive shot, then that person is sandbagging plain and simple.

Yeah...who want's to learn to hit the cue ball in the center anyhow?! It's way over rated!

Have you tried e-mailing the wpba?

Center ball only is for wussies! Efren spins the ball on every shot so that means I should if I want to be as good as he is. I also have one of those new ultra low deflection shafts that are cored with a lead/iron alloy! It's amazing!

Make sure you tune your arm to be able to hit the cue ball with specific and precise measurements. For example hitting the ball at 8 mph with exactly 46 rpm rotating at 110 degrees! :D :D

I do...lol. I was writing a long post about how I don't obsess over the science of the game and that I play more by feel but then I reallized that it's a waste of my time to write and your time to read. :D

I agree with you that you don't want to drive the cue ball through the rack. However, I believe he may have just used bad terminology here. I think what he meant to say was hitting the apex ball square and full so there's a recoil but no airtime. If this is the case then there is most...

While I've not used an Arnot j/b I would have to say that Andy Gilbert makes a damn fine j/b cue! An added bonus is that Andy's j/b cues are great players as well!

Glad to hear that you're happy with your cue! I think Skip's work is incredible as well and hope to see him get more and more popular!

Wow, you paid 150% more for your j/b than your player?!
