I am very interested, though I live near Paris TX, about 140 miles and 2 hours 20 minutes away. I am retired and so I have some freedom to act. Perhaps I could make a day of it, then spend the night at my daughter's house in north Dallas. But that is still $28 - $38 of gas, plus almost five...

I ordered and received three soft tips from AZB friend Outsville. Two were perfect, but I thought one of them was lop-sided, not good enough to use. I emailed a request for a replacement. That's where Outsville's good customer service kicked in. Outsville did not try to make me jump through...

James D. McDermott, and the McDermott named corporation prospering in Wisconsin today, building cues which would have pleased Jim, as far as I can judge. The four leaf clover lives on. For value in simple durability using handsome wood the 1984-89 D4 or the 2004-08 M4-3B Tempe, for classic...

Call a major retailer. I like Neilsons aka ebay Joe Rackem. Let them recommend a cue w/shaft that uses the same pin, choose one in your budget, buy it. Return if not satisfied. Keep it, and you can gift or sell that cue later, after your immediate need is resolved. Fit is changeable...

If you want a quick correct answer about bolts, butt cap etc call McD. Cue value is whatever someone will pay. To me, it is ugly so $25 tops if straight and clean. But if I liked the looks of it I might pay more. For example, in 2008 I bought some McD cues as house cues for my new used pool...

I wish you hadn't of axed that.

To the guy who thinks people seldom walk around with a grand in cash, I say Jeez, get real, we could take a poll and half the guys on AZB would admit to carrying $500-$2000 as a matter of habit, or whenever expecting to gamble, or to buy a cue, or headed to a gun show or gun store. This...

For $975, this cue is pretty, and maybe even a bargain - but is just barely deserves the title *custom* - and would not deserve the name 'custom', except for its 3 - 4 year lead time, its maker's 'name', and the lack of business sense which self-identifies the builder as a custom cue maker. I...

"Steinway Billiard in Astoria, NY (Manny runs one of the best room in Queens). " Best room? Except for the opportunistic thieves and their lookout crew, right? If you can take a huge loss and still think the joint qualifies as some sort of 'best room', you're a better man than I Gunga Din...

I am near Paris TX, 75460; what's the shipping distance to you? I can calculate truck rental with mileage info. Can you take it apart, and save the cloth, of course only after a firm deal and money exchange. Tell me more about the table and the mechanic work please: which version GC, is it a 9...

I'm just glad to have AZB, the ersatz BBB of the billiard internet. We all can read and decide who is and is not talking pure BS. I don't like taking a stand about an individual based solely on internet posts. But in this case, If I ever decide to wait 3 or 4 years to have a new cue built, I...

Gee golly, not sure if I am qualified to answer a question from someone with 1500 posts, but like the guy who rated his Cuetec R360 at 5 out of 5 stars before he even used it, prolly cause of fast shipping, the rating I mean not the not having used it, well anyway what the heck I'll just throw...

I'd have a nearby hill with only the visage of Utley J. Puckett carved on it, looking toward the visitor area instead of off into space like the more famous guys on the big mountain nearby. He would have his white hair billowing out from under his big cowboy hat, and be smiling his big crooked...

It's really mostly about the commenters and camera angles, for me at least. I am a neophyte to Accustats streaming. So my comments have to also be about match videos I have viewed which may or may not have been produced by Accustats. Fire or re-train or restrain Gibbs, first and foremost. I...

Is it possible to find out who the commentators are on a streaming match before plunking down my hard earned money? Some of these guys are arrogant, argumentative, disrespectful of their booth partner, and willing to get on a soapbox rant so bad they forget where they are. I'm not speaking...

Justin Hall staged a determined comeback from 6-1 down to get to the hill at 10-10, and finally overcame a very good opponent in Carl Boyes for the win. Accustats recorded .878 for Hall and .839 for Boyes. A fine win and hopefully a glimpse of things to come at the Mosconi Cup. This was my...

Thanks for the kind words, I have been lurking for quite awhile and have a very very slight acquaintance with some AZB regulars. I would rely on JBs photos and records more than my memory from 40-some years ago. The alligator finish case in JBs post #16 looks much like what I remember seeing...

I know some history of that style of case, which I first saw back in the early to late 70s in Fort Worth TX. That style of 1x2 leather or alligator case was very popular among attorneys, used car lot and junkyard owners, union auto workers, and anyone else with a bit of money, lots of free...
