I bought a Hecek from Jerry a few years ago. Reliable seller!

It's your son...you get a pass. Break your house for him if it comes to that. Nothing is more important

POR was a great story. It felt so accurate. I was close to some of that action...when Tony beat Tulio Antonelli for the cash, he was playing with my money! (I was a victim to Tulio, not his backer). Somebody get Sylvester's book published...we need more of that gritty history...real...

Joe With respect, I do not agree with your position here. The expo was GREAT! and though it was different than years past due to the venu and location, it was every bit the event of the year for me. You say the floors were cold and hard...I brought comfortable chairs. Barry Szamboti and his...

Looking forward to seeing you Ken, and the stellar line up of cues you always roll out. Love that Szam 3rd from the left.

As a cue collector, I like to see a builder's "style" or read the influence of his mentor in the work. So for me, I want a common aesthetic throughout the work that makes it recognizable. When I see a Schick or Dieckman cue from across the room, I usually know exactly what it is... That is...

If you have em, please find em! Several members answered a thread I posted months ago but no one has located/sent their old pictures. I'll buy or trade for them so please locate that shoebox! Clean out the closet! I will have a booth at the superbilliards expo and will give $50 merchandise...

SOLD SOLD SOLD Thanks CharlieD Not too many in this batch but some HUGE names among them. All cards in clean shape in a black leather book. Have been offered $50 for he Gus card alone in the past. Asking $$$ delivered for the entire group with the leather holder. paypal to...

Ned Morris makes a great cue I never played with a Morris that wasn't FANTASTIC. For what it's worth, my experience says nothing for $600 will play better. Especially if the cue is light. I own about 50 high end cues...for the time being I am just not buying but I tuned in as soon as I saw...

I have owned many Schuler cues and 2 Josey Cues. If your intention is to play 3 cushion billiards, the European taper Schuler is the way to go. For all other applications I strongly favor the Josey. Schuler cues have a "perfection joint" that is both piloted and flat faced in design. The...

At an Akron Open, while enjoying a match between Mark Maryo and Nick Varner, I asked a strong player named Jay Reed a question: "How do I learn by watching players who are profoundly better than me?" He told me "don't make their mistakes." In this manner, your post is valuable. I caution...

It is an excellent question, though you may not find consensus. Randy Mobley had strong opinions about weight and suggested correct weight is based upon the player. Harvey Martin certainly believed in customizing weight. I've found balance to be a much more predictive element than actual...

I'm grateful to have met Ronnie at the OP Hall of Fame banquet. It was an honor to talk with him and to get an autograph or two. (Thanks Steve Booth). It was also great to see Ronnie in action playing Danny Diliberto in the famous 1 pocket battle...a rare glimpse into the chatter Keith...

My experience with Ginacues is that they hit to the softer side of the spectrum. (Steel joint 5/16X14). I liked the playability of the cue and would compare it to the feel of my Chudy or Schick. As another post mentioned, there was some squirt but I found that the deflection was quite...

Dieckman makes one of the best masse' cues. He has done many. They are really heavy ~26oz with stout tapers and broad tips. Jameson Neu has worked majik with a Dieckman, I've seen it. I own one currently that will be in my booth at the Superbilliards Expo. (Made for Raymond Ceulemans once...

Double D said it well. I buy and play with big money cues because I feel good to appreciate them. As far as value to a player...as a tool to shoot pool...Earl Strickland put that question to bed a long time ago. 5 time US champion with a $140 Cuetec. Blackballed and MSchaffer also keyed...

I've put together a few memorabilia items for fund raising. Will mail them out to the address provided. Joe Tucker gave me 3 new DVD's "Racking Secrets" to include for Danny. I think this particular lesson is among the most valuable strategic knowledge a player can learn. I know I missed...

I bought a nearly identical Kersenbrock (natural phenolic joint) from Benny Renzi in 1986, It was one of the finest cues I ever owned. For anyone looking to try a cue made by DPK, a living legend of cue making, you may never see such an affordable price. Deacon is an honorable seller. 3...

I used to enjoy those pics too. I would occasionally send John a check to cover developing and postage costs. Looking at the array of beautiful exotic cues was a treat every time.
