What kind of pin does the cue have, and is it flat faced?

I learned a few things from Eddie. His method of cue construction is without a doubt all about the hit. In one word, his cues are 'solid'. Just holding the cue in your hands, that word will be echoing in your head.

You will be very happy with that cue. I guarantee it.

Muscle memory is how I play pool. It is the automation of human reaction.... Your muscles do have a sense of memory. What that means is they can be trained to do a particular movement and when your brain and body come together as one it is referred to as natural or automatic. For someone to...

No. I use the same stick to break and play. I have an ivory ferrule / Kamui Tip and I have no problems what so ever..... At times I need to use the Gator Grip to scuff but that's it

The only thing they have in common is the longer stroke. Busti uses his wrist / index finger and Shane uses his forearm to pull the trigger. Busti's stroke is on a flat / horizontal plane, and Shane's is on a vertical plane. The similarities you are noticing in their strokes is the high level...

I am taking the time to personally thank Mr. Stroud for helping us to understand cue making in the perspective of Josswest Cues. I would like to add that, to me, Mr. Stroud is one of the most influential artist's in this industry, and currently, his work is among the most highly sought after be...

Mr. Stroud, I am a rather new cue maker, and I do agree with your comments. My approach to cue making has now become a slow one. I started right out of the gate buying a mini lathe having no experience whatsoever in cue making, and the rest is history. I personally have no ambition to use...

I think you definitely showed 'Busti' a new meaning to 'behind-the-back'...... I am very impressed. Super job. and I also agree with you 100% on the Kamui tips. They are hands down the most consistent tip out there, and with the new change, the consistency is unmatched......... I was a...

He must be busy working on cues, cause I hadn't heard much from Ross either. I am going to Dallas the second weekend of November. If anyone wants to get together and play / hang out, I can probably do either Friday, or Sunday....... PM me your phone # if interested.....

Without a magic wrap fixture the chances of getting a leather wrap done right goes way down. Without it, it can be done, but you must really take your time and do something extra to come up with an ingenious way to cut the seam straight. With the tip, I think you did a good job. What I...

Happy Birthday, my friend....... You never did get back with me after you moved..... I hope to come visit and maybe play the, 'Black Talon' soon.....

I remember watching and listening to TW during the cue maker round table discussion and he had a great deal to say. I would have to say he acted more as a chair person than anything else, voicing extremely opinionated ideas. He was very strong and passionate about everything he said and I did...

I like a thru-ferrule...... to me, the hit is better.

:thumbup: you bet, buddy...... I never touch my shaft........ really, all this talk about magic eraser, and all this other crap is over kill.....\ if you need to clean it, just use a damp paper towel. there is no such thing as a clean shaft..... if you play pool with it, it will get...

I love these :grin:

I wouldn't worry about it. Just don't go extreme with the temperatures especially rapid temperature change. If you want to know about ivory, David Warther is the man to ask.

I am pretty sure that is Rosewood. Very nice cue. I bet that cue has a nice hit to it. Just out of curiosity, are those double lines cut in on the stainless steel joint collar? I have never seen that before...... interesting design feature........ Chris Hightower makes a fine cue..... you...

PM Sent sir........

Actually, I forgot to add Lee Van Corteza...... he is one bad dude.....
