I may have my facts mixed up, but I think I remember reading that Bill Stroud helped Dave Kikel get started building cues. I could be wrong........

That's a sweet JW and I don't blame you for wanting one.

Jerry, I think Gold Membership is more than fair for active members on this site. I very seldom miss checking in on AZ every day. I enjoy keeping up with what's going on and checking the W/FS section. I've bought and sold a few items and I can't thank AZ enough other than keeping my Gold...

And they don't play bad either!

The picture shows the butt of Wimpy's cue below the table and it appears that the cue doesn't have a wrap on it or are my eyes playing a trick on me. That's a great picture of Wimpy by the way.

This is one of the nicest Gambler themed cues that i've seen.

I hear what you are saying and I'm sad that this is the state of Pro Pool. In any other sport I can think of Pro Players don't need their fans to pay expenses. I hope it changes one day soon.

Work on your fundamentals until they come natural, practice until you have the confidence to know you can run out and you know what to do, and play the table (balls) and not your opponent. The mental game is a big part of pool and you can control your nerves by knowing you have the knowledge and...

I could never do what Rhea and you are doing, but i've enjoyed reading about it and I wish you both the best of luck and good rolls. If Rhea had enough drive to walk away from a possible 6 figure income to follow her dream I wish people wouldn't condemn her for it. It's her life and she can...

Billy, You couldn't have said it better and I completely agree. I don't usually read real long posts on the forum, but once I got started reading this one I couldn't stop. I know a lot of people don't agree, but you are only young once and with Rhea's drive to play she's going to try and live...

Great post, two champions hitting a few on your home table!

Bob, that's one of the best gambler cue designs I've ever seen.

So am I and that's one reason I don't play in that many tournaments. It takes so much of your time and you know inside that you can't win anyway! There's a handful of players where I live that are just better than the rest of us and if they are in the tournament one of that handful of players...

You are saying red dot in your post, but don't you mean red circle or are you talking about the newer measle cue ball. Whichever ball you are talking about I don't think it should have arrived in a plastic bag. I ordered a couple of Aramith Measle cue balls from Cue-Stix International and each...

Thanks for sharing.

This sounds pretty accurate to me.

I like your view on playing. I think I tend to think more about whether I'm doing everything correctly than I do about pocketing the balls and getting position or a leave. It seems like the more I learn about the game the more I'm distracted while I'm playing trying to remember to do everything...

Drawing the cue ball can be accomplished different ways like you described. I think whichever method you described that works the best for you is the best. I can draw the ball pretty well, but if I'm not careful I'll have the back of my cue too high and that will lead to miscues and poor draw...

Mike, I wish you the best. My brother in law is in the hospital right now trying to recover from the same thing. He's making progress and one of the best things you can do is to stay positive. Keep the faith and things will work out.

If you can afford to live there, it's no big deal to them.
