    Olney-Bloodwood Cue

    I purchased this cue in February of 2013. The pictures of a linen wrap are as I purchased it. I am not a fan of linen so I had it rewrapped with leather. The wrap job is good but not flawless. The butt has one small scuff in the butt, just the finish, the shaft has one small indent located...

    Hercek or Southwest

    Rubberheels "Buy a Schon and save thousands! " Rubber you have a point here and its valid to a point but, if you pay $800.00 for a Schon play it for 5 yrs and want to sell it, you may get 3-4 hundred for it. You aren't really losing any money because you played it, but if you are wanting...

    Next Cue Recommendations

    With a budget of $550.00 you can get a decent cue, the kicker is your time line, now long will you wait. Someone mentioned Onley and I can't speak from any thing other than one cue but mine is a great player and for the money a good deal. Another option maybe Pat Diveney.

    Hercek or Southwest

    I don't think I'd personally compare a Southwest to a Schon, and I am not knocking Schon. I think it's more like a Schon is a like buying a Diamond at Fred Meyers Jewelers. The diamonds are good but you are limited to the options in the case. Southwest is more like Zale’s you can pick from a...

    Vinny is correct, there is no way either Joel or Southwest will ever get through thier lists.

    ugly woods that make a great hitting cue

    I agree with Joey in California, but I disagree that Blood wood is ugly, I like it. As for Pernambuco it maynot have alot of figure but the cue had of it hit wonderfully.

    Hercek or Southwest

    OK, if you had the choice between a Southwest and a Hercek what cue would you go with. I know they are two different animals construction, joint,etc. Both for me would be irreplaceable, just trying to get a general consense of the climate.

    Tip Size

    It seems most cues come with tips 13mm, it seems a bit large to me I personally prefer about 12.mm. What's the norm for the rest of you?

    New Southwest.......Finally

    Tommy, I think they do the Cactus for the shafts and the SWC for the cue. I ordered mine with all cactus.

    Olney cue

    First I have read enough comments on Mr Olney's cues to believe they play well. I purchased a New Olney basic cue off the forum because I'd misjudged the completion of my Southwest. I had my Hercek but other than a trip to Anchorage or league play I wasn't comfortable in a bar with it. So I...

    Any Read The Science of Pocket Billiards?

    I lent my soft cover out and thought enough of the book to replace it with a hard cover. It is the only pool book I have.
