I have used one of the old Brunswick wall racks for balls.....cut a piece of plexiglass for a cover so I wouldn't have to dust the shelves or balls.

Do not use the glue stick thing....the bond is not strong enough. Had to replace a few wraps that had the linen stuck together, but did not stay bonded to the wood handle. Since using any of the white glues, have not had this problem again.

It feels like $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

The chain links remind me of some Mike Erwin cues.....Maybe the initials are one of his siblings...

The real question is......who is dumb enough to give pool players 75K in added money? Just put a pencil to it.....recovering 25 thousand is almost impossible....much less 50K.

H Collender and Michael Phelan....early builders of billiard tables;;;;and members of their families

Forrest Whitaker used a McDermott model C-3 in the scene where he hustled Newman. Jim McDermott donated 80 cues to the production. They were snapped up by the crew.

I have installed a fortune in sniper tips over the years, and only had one delaminate.....I attributed that one to too much heat being generated while trying to buff out the guys ferrule scratches. I have played with almost every tip that is available on the market, and the sniper will get on...

As a collector of production line cues, prototypes leading up to the final product have less value to me. That being said, I have a small pile of prototype cues because they are fun and I find them interesting.

I am not completely sure, but I have heard that all the coolest people in the world were born on this date. I even got messages from JAM in years past <<<<<<made me feel special.

Good cue maker or bad....sterling reputation or not....quit playing the guessing game and let the cat out of the bag for petes sake. Nothing worse on these forums than......Hey guess what.....Sorry I can't tell you.

3/8-16 is the thread I think.

Tan Masters is called gold by some vendors.....I sell a ton of it because it turns the shaft light brown instead of blue or green.....no complaints.

No need to worry, if he goes out and wins a couple of sets with his cue. BUT....if he happens to dog his brains out and loses....then out will come the electron microscope to check for glue lines....and the micrometers that will read 12.98 mm's instead of a full 13mm....and of course then the...

Just a bump to put this Texas legend back on the front page. A lot of the players at the Texas State Open might not have heard yet, and are travelling home.

Sad news to report on the eve of the Texas Open, "Showboat" Joe Cromleigh passed away this evening. He was a great friend and competitor at many games. I did my first major event when Joe got sidetracked, and Texas Express was introduced to players from all over the country in 1983...

Just a side note for the even points lovers....many moons ago Richard Helmstetter made a line of billiard cues ....both flame points and sharp points....that were perfect. They were not received well overseas as the players perceived that they were machine made. He changed them up....made the...

Down in the Valley of South Texas, we had a tour event that was played on 9ft Valley tables. Bar table rails on a big table....it was fun.

Like Earl, when I miss a pot....it was an act of God.

Personally I would not play with a cue that I couldn't adjust the weight up or down an ounce or so.
