I don't think it's bad at all, I just never saw it before and was curious. With the way the cue plays and looks I certainly can't complain. The cue really has a solid feel with a nice sound to the hit. Definitely a unique take on cue construction. I like. Thanks for all the responses, I always...

Pics Alright I finally figured it out and got a couple pics. The seam is kinda hard to see but you can tell where the figure changes.

I read somewhere that someone was doing it to make cues that originally came with a wrap, wrapless. I had never heard of a whole cue being made that way. Like I said it looks good and you can't really see the seam that visibly. The cue plays great, which I figure comes from the solid maple core...

That's exactly what it looks like. I just tried for 30 minutes to get a clear enough picture to post and I can't. My camera will not focus close enough to get a clear picture. My wife is better with the camera than I am so when she gets home I'll see if she can get some pics. But the tapered...

Ok, I am trying to understand the basics of cored cues. The way I understand it is you take the sections of the cue bore out the center and then put a core in the section or the length of the butt if it's a full length core. Is that basically the principal behind coring? The reason I ask is...

Did you even think about what you were writing before you posted it? How does Trayvon Martin wearing a hoodie OUTDOORS make him a thug? According to you wearing a hoodie outdoors is what you're supposed to do with a hoodie, to protect yourself from the elements right? So what makes Trayvon...

Will also take cash offers. Make me an offer.

I'm looking to trade these antique balls for a wrapless cue in good shape. From what I have been able to find these balls are Hyatt Fancy-O. It is a complete set and has the original cue ball. In ok shape, there is crazing on the surface but they are not chipped and I think they would shine up...

That's what I think separates Efren from everyone else that's ever picked up a cue. His creativity. He comes up with shots that other people couldn't even see as an option and then executes those shots. Shane mentally is one of the best in the game today but I don't think his creativity is...

I'm 28 and would take the old guys over the young guys if all things were equal. If you take the top 5 of today and put them up against the top 5 "old" players I don't think the new guys would stand a chance. The fact that one of the "old" guys in Busty has the one new guy people say could beat...

It blows my mind that alot of people forget to talk about Parica. I was just a kid in the 80s and 90s and I always used to confuse Efren and Parica when my dad would be watching either one of them. They both were amazing back then. I'd have to put Parica 3rd on my all time list but just barely...

I really like his game. I think he's headed for the elite class of players. Tough draw for your first tournament there but I'm sure you learned alot just watching someone like that play.

I agree with others that have said that this wouldn't be the first time he's seen a big break. Earl had the best break back then and Efren found a way to grind him out in the color of money. The fact that it's ten ball has no impact on the outcome in my opinion. Efren doesn't have a game he's...

Just got back from Vegas again. Had to make it back down to Best Billiards. I was there for my bachelor party so I didn't think I was going to be able to visit this trip but before we left we stopped in to get something to eat and knock some around. Food was excellent by the way and my 2 buddies...

Like said above Joe Porper made 6 cues with real stone inlays in them about 12 years ago where he inlaid the stone and it appears there is a clear acrylic or plastic inlay over that to bring it flush with the rest of the cue. I have one of those cues that was my fathers. The inlay work is...

Vaughn was my dad. I commented on this thread along time ago and forgot about it and saw the thread tonight, went to the last page and found this post. Great story, thanks for telling it, my dad passed away in 2002 so it's always good to hear a story about him. If I remember correctly that was...

How much is the wrapless one?

Personally I think the 4 1/2" diamond pockets are perfect for all levels of play. I think the pocket is tight enough to require accurate shooting but not so tight that the average banger can't have a good time. They're not in any way too easy for the pros. What I think it is, is that the players...

I used to use draw for everything. I thought it was easier to use. That was then, now I favor follow most of the time. To me it's easier to control speed with follow so my position play is alot tighter when I use follow. It's actually helped my game alot. The draw definitely looks flashier then...
