I wonder ... If its my old one - I dont think he made many of them. I sold mine 15 years ago for about 350 (had 3 shafts). They are a great hitting cue.

To Cajun Fats When I said "look at the way he moves - like a dancer" - I was referring to the smooth way in which you reach for your wallet. Tuna

That was payback Cajun!! The year was 1994. Fresh into my first year at U of Iowa getting my masters I walk into the only pool joint in Iowa City - Maxies (no idea if its still there). Get in a money match with this big guy known as Cajun Fats (great cook by the way - in cooking he can give...

Pawn Stars I dont know if any of you guys saw but on one of the episodes I saw the "Blue Book of Cues" third edition on his shelf.

Paul Roberts He did a real nice job on that one Jay. The set up in the joint was perfect. That place was a cash cow on Friday and Saturday nights. Long wait for tables, people crowded around every table, and some seriously hot waitresses. Here where I live in Texas I never see "true" pool...

You might be right It was across the street from the Mall - might have been Montclair. I lived in Upland close by. I sometimes wonder what happened to all these guys. I befriended an asian kid Eric Friar. Ran around with him for a long time. Great young player. There was another guy I...

It is no longer there - I used to run the Saturday afternoon tournamnent there - just wondering if any other AZers remember this place. I fell in love with pool as a kid there watching the likes of guys like Frank "da barber" Almanza, Joe Salazar, Texas Bob, Big John and Johnny Borba. I have...

Just wondering ... If Donny really was "gaffing" the rack - why didnt shane tap the balls to frozen - it seems this would not allow the balls to be shaped and nuetralized what Donny was possibly doing? I kept noticing that Donny would take the rack off and touch the head ball with his fingers...

Frustrated I know this streaming wasnt expensive but geez this is getting ridiculous. the thing keeps crashing. anybody else having troubles?

Just Order the Pro Am with a 3 piece slate. Thats what I did and love it.

Happy B-Day! Captain America!!

All I can say is ... In my dealing with Glen I have been more than satisfied. He has gone WAY beyond what I would expect from a mechanic and wouldnt hesitate in the least recommending him. Chris

Amen Brother Both Diamond and RKC are first rate all the way. They are truly passionate about what they do and it shows in their product and customer service. I had a problem a while back with a brunswick table (had bought it from Triangle Billiards) and Glen went WAY beyond what he probably...

Geez Frank That must have left a mark. I think its probably a good policy to do what you say - with the addendum pick up the rack and put it away THEN take your cue off the diagonal.

Jay asked on TAR last night why some people lay the butt of the cue onto the rail when they rack (rightly observing it puts the butt into a vulnerable position). The reason I do it is because continuing to lay the but on the table (assuming you have an irish linen wrap) will dirty up the wrap...

What an extraordinary young man he is - from going to school, working with his father, and attaining the #1 ranking in the US. I swear he is working with more hours in the day than the rest of us. He brings a lot of honor to his family and country - I wish him the best at the Mosconi Cup. Go...

Or how about "Pimp my Cue" Give life to some old beat up cue. LOL

Once your bit by RKC There is no known cure - LOL. It was a pleasure having you over Travis - I enjoyed the game and the company. Nice to know there are some classy guys here on AZ Billiards.

Props out to Carl Semmes He predicted and was even quoted in Billiards Digest back in 86-87 that Oliver Ortman would one day rule the 14.1 world. He has been singing the praises for years of the Billiard Club format (like they have in Fulda). Great Call Cajun Fats! Tuna

Like everything but the legs Maybe Im just too traditional.
