    Sold 3x6 Used Whitten Lite Case for Sale

    What length cues will it hold? I will also be using it for storage, I just regret selling my last Whitten.

    What is this built-in twist-out butt extension?

    I play in Nat's room often. He is building cues and recovering tables every day, which seems crazy to me (at his age). He still plays at a fairly high level as well. I'll have to ask him about the extensions. I've yet to see a Southeast cue that has one.

    What is this built-in twist-out butt extension?

    Greg Hearns made the Widowmaker cues for Bert back in the day. I believe he was also from Canada -out east iirc. Greg's cues were the first I saw with those extensions and that was back in the mid 90s. I own several Widowmaker cues but only one has the built-in extension. I wonder if Hearns...

    Cole Dickson's last cue (Snakewood)

    I tried getting my last cue in snakewood but it was too volitile/young to be trusted to be cut and not kaplooey. I settled for kingwood. Looks nice but I really wanted the snake. GL

    Dual stage tournaments are superior to true double elimination

    I'm not saying I disagree but tennis is much more dependent upon fitness and energy levels. Using today's ratings, a 4.0 tournament may look like a 3.0 vs 4.0 by the time of the finals, with the B side player physically exhausted. I remember driving 4+ hours to tennis tournaments with a buddy...

    2023 International Open, Oct 30 - Nov 4, Norfolk

    Digipool site is sh!tting the bed. Reverts from stage 2 to stage 1 brackets and can't keep the live scores going properly.

    Opinions: CF shaft for a Schon cue or buy a new Cuetec cue with a CF shaft

    I vote full Cuetec cue. Half the reason I went CF was the durability of the shaft. The other half was so I no longer worry about getting a nice cue damaged or stolen. It plays similar to my customs but if it's broken or stolen I can have another that will look and play just like it in 2 days.

    2023 International Open, Oct 30 - Nov 4, Norfolk

    Weird that they show the final matchups of the qualifying bracket on the scheduled matches screen. Threw me off until I realized what it was I was seeing. Lukas, Max, Eric, Anthony, and Billy had good showings for the US. They didn't make the cut but exceeded expectations imo.

    JFlowers BRKR or Predator BK4?

    The first time I hit with the BK I was unimpressed and consistently out-breaking my opponent with my VX-2.4 or some name like that. The second time was better, but nothing noteworthy. My break was not all that great with any cue at that time however. A couple local guys have BKs and just smash...

    Best break cue

    Bumping this for opinions/preferences on break tips. The tip on my cf break cue does not hold chalk well and the hit it nothing special. I have no idea what tip came on the cue but it's extremely hard. I'm looking to swap it out but there are too many out there from which to choose and I am not...

    The other cue in The Color Of Money

    Well thanks a lot you pack of bastids. After watching those clips and hearing the music, I have to go watch the movie again.

    2023 International Open Bigfoot 10-Ball Challenge

    I knew they did it that was at the Derby. I wasn't aware of it being an option elsewhere. Do they have a 3 point rule in effect here? If not, a strategy could be employed that at least did not leave a wide open table.

    Bobby Hunter 14.1

    I still have an Accu-Stats of Carter pummeling Efren at the Sands I believe. They had a Varner match and that one going on at the same time so they did commentary on Nick's match. After watching the tape of the Carter/Reyes match, they asked Jeff if he would sit in the booth and commentate the...

    JFlowers BRKR or Predator BK4?

    I hope you buy the BRKR. I tried to order one back in January or so and they were out of stock until April. I bought the Little Monster instead. It's OK but I really wanted to try the BRKR and would love a review of it here.

    Mike dechaine 2023

    Pretty much this. Back in the day when I was one of the top local players. the up-and-coming young guns would ask me for advice. These kids probably had 2-3 years into the game on 9 foot tables, so they were not so invested that they could not correct course. I told every one of them to sell...

    Reason for “expensive “ chalk

    This. When I bought my new ProAm last year, I tried Masters, Triangle, Tiger, Magic, Predator, and Blue Diamond. Predator was BY FAR the most messy of the bunch. Granted, most were purchased off Amazon, and I've heard that some chalk is counterfeit on that site. I switched to V10, and...
