    Frye vs (Abe) Rich cues

    Abe was mostly a cue assembler from parts that he bought and sometimes built. - his cues play fine, nothing special - his lack of adding spliced cues and classic inlays kept him from achieving higher cue building status. Just a true throwback in the craft though, I visited him in Fl. At...

    3/8 by 10 pin

    do your CF shafts have an insert into the shaft where it screws into the joint pin? The insert may be too short or may not be tapped exactly as your joint pin is configured.

    Interesting Insights from Rory Mcllroy's Psych Doc

    Over time I have come to realize that the “mental side” of pool comes down to just being able to perform at one’s current best ability shot after shot regardless of anything else related to a game or match. The method one adopts to achieve this state of being can vary widely. Most...

    Interesting Insights from Rory Mcllroy's Psych Doc

    Bob Rotella has several notable golf based mental side books including " Golf is not a game of Perfect"--- His writings bring some thoughts about how to handle competition - both external and the resulting internal noise - all well worth reading.

    Standard Pocket Sizes

    Pro cut 4 1/2 inch Pockets are too tight for casual players to enjoy - end of story-,you should compromise at 4 3/4 inch to satisfy you and all of your guests - my 2 cents and 50 years of various table ownerships.

    Vintage Brunswick Cues - Good Deal?

    This price of 2500 is certainly not a deal - I think. - realistically - one could not profit from that price if the intent is resale - if all of this is being purchased to fill in personal collection needs or desires than one could negotiate a price to buy the lot. It would be a tremendous...

    Kielwood Shaft Search

    I truly get the need vs. want thing- I should have used the term want not need in reference to your KW search. I would say that just about every cue related purchase that I ever made - which or the past 40 years amounts to many, many thousands of dollars, was want related and not need related...

    Tony Chohan foul

    It would not bother me unless it was done repeatedly or if any ball was touched by the cue - just my way of thinking- yes one could call a foul though.

    Tip size

    BC no one knows what works best for them until they have tons of experience and if they seek improvement from their current “ best” — that is where one tries slight changes to their norm - I know that you know this😁😁👍

    Tip size

    The more that I play this game and the better that I become at position play- I tend too believe that a smaller diameter tip ( say 11.5 to 12.5 or so) would work best if you have truly fine tuned your hit placement on the cue ball to the point that, as a a player, you can actually see and...

    Kielwood Shaft Search

    I received my Hsunami 2.0 in January. It is 3/8 10 flat face and 29 inches - the shaft weighs 3.7 ounces. I would imagine a 30 inch Hsunami could get to 3.8- 3.9 if mine at 29 is 3.7. Obviously does not matter if you truly need a 29 KW at 4 oz. My Hsunami was $475 all in - I only...

    Original Palmer Value

    This cue on E bay will most probably sell in the $400 to $600 range in an auction format with a $99 start point - my 2 cents and best estimate - could go a bit higher - never know.

    How Pool Evolved from Royalty to Bar Rooms

    Pool may be holding “world wide “ tournaments- as you say in the vid - but prize money is just not reflective of the years of training needed to become a top world contender. First place pays all of your expenses unless you are seriously sponsored( very few elites) and third place is basically...

    Meucci BMC Pro 5 Keilwood Shaft

    I sent you a PM yesterday as you requested PM for questions - no response from you - I have moved on from your cue - sellers need to be responsive or it makes the entire experience something that buyers lose interest in very quickly - just my 2 cents worth. My PM was AFTER your last post - so...

    Does it seem like everyone is a Flipper / Reseller these days?

    A guy bought a cue on here this week for $1000 - which seemed high to me - and he has it on e bay today asking $3000 - the cue sales world is all over the place. The dawn of e bay was the time to pick and sell - it was lots of fun, profitable and relatively a fair market while it lasted - all...

    C J Wiley

    I am definitely not making any arguements saying that CJ was not a straight shooter- however back at that time you could have a very high % success rate on shots where your cue ball location relative to the shot was less than ideal. Simply not the case today - the precision strokes required to...

    Big pocket Brunswicks compared to today’s tournament tables- you could master most shots if you played enough pool with a good stroke and proper focus. Tough tables today are more challenging.
