You are absolutely right, you cannot outrun the law of supply and demand. I have had the luck of hitting with quite a pile of lumber over the years, including dozens of TS sneakies. Of the 2 dozen or more sneakies that I have hit balls with, only 2 were what I would call giant slayers, and...

It is the fault of this forum and cue suckers worldwide. Touting the TS sneakies as the holy grail. Give me a break. Timmy giggles every time someone steps up and pays the piper.

OK....you got me....a quick history lesson. I had been using various forms of rules over the years trying to finalize a set that was easy to understand. One foul had been played in numerous ways, like ball behind the line on the break if a foul occured, balls made on fouls spotted up, etc...

I have never had any problem whatsoever with the McDermott warranty. Being in south Texas, it takes a week to get to Wisconsin, maybe a week in the factory, then a week back. Usually less than 30 days. This being the holiday season, it will probably take longer. From Michigan I would imagine...

WOW....preemptive whining.....pool players...gotta luv em....

Finally a little love. Thanks...... Maybe a little history lesson is in order, I once wrote an article about our beginnings in the tour biz back in the early 80's. It might be time to refresh everyones memories and let the young guns and people new to our sport have a look at how we put...

We have run a zillion calcuttas, and 10% was the standard charge.

CJ is right, he made a ball on the break and just missed a bank on the one ball. I believe it was the only rack that he did not have a clear shot on the one.

Thanks so much for posting this feat of brilliant snooker. After wading through the main forum and its drama and drivel, it is quite refreshing to see a remarkable accomplishment and a grateful crowd cheering it on.

On another note, because everyone on AZ thinks the Scruggs sneaky is the holy grail of house cue conversions......I have been exposed to quite a number of Scruggs sneakies, and only two of the pile played what i considered lights out. Those 2 particular cues were road warriors, with thousands...

It was John McChesney who did the blind taste test....and it was not a Scruggs sneaky...but a Huebler sneaky that everyone thought hit the best.

Rage cue.......

I can't stand when people say that full spliced cues play better than other cues built differently.

As the entire room was involved and had moved to the feature table, the crowd was 10 people deep. I stayed close to the chart and tried to get a peek every now and then until the tenth rack, where I watched Earl fire in the combo. Then after the pandemonium died down, he came with an 11th...

When someone ran in the office and yelled...EARLS ON 5 RACKS !!!!!!!!!!! Sheesh, how soon we forget. It was me. I was standing at the chart, one table over from where Earl was playing, and when he got to 5....I MADE HIM STOP PLAY. I went to get CJ and the cam, and the rest is history. Jay...

So is this 'certain' company a secret? PM if you dont want to spill the beans in public. I like rock hard Le Pros. It is the rock hard Triangles that most people hate.

Jim McDermott and family.

Ages ago in my travels, I had a chance to go Madison and do a bar table event. I scheduled a couple of extra days so I would have a chance to hand pick some lumber from several Wisconsin cuemakers. Gordy and Nancy Hart gave me a tour of their operation and the very first cue I chose was the...

There is absolutely nothing wrong with 9-ball, no matter how many times the geese on here say it is broken. It should be the game that young players are introduced to first instead of any other game.

Looks like an early version of the Sport King, red pockets and all. Nice find.
