    Advice for beginner cues?

    You seem like a perfect match for Schmelke, imho. They have been in biz for 60-70 years making cues here in the USA, VG quality and super reasonable pricing. I would suggest that you narrow it down some then call David Schmelke and ask for his input as far as fine tuning your choices. One...

    Jeffrey Forney Is Still Scamming

    Hi Chris; With all due respect, Jeff Forney has been scamming people for many years and imo, that qualifies him for a lifetime sentence of never being trusted again. Your business dynamic with him is different than most where, I assume, you get paid first *then* send products to him, right? He...

    Pete Tonkin Screwed Me

    I don't fault you for jumping on an offer that PT apparently made on FB that on the face of it looked like it could be a win-win for both of you guys. Glad you at least got your initial investment back. I never heard anything bad about this particular cuemaker, in fact, I have heard a lot of...

    Pete Tonkin Screwed Me

    Did Pete offer you the cue directly as a friend in need or was it that he made a public fb appeal asking if anyone might be interested in getting a High end Tonkin cue for way under market value because of his desperate situation with his wife’s illness? And you responded to that? As for you...

    Pete Tonkin Screwed Me

    You said in your first post that “l thought he was a friend. Boy was I wrong” You were aware his wife was sick and needed some sort of treatment and so you gave him much less $$$ than the cue was worth thinking it was almost ready and that you could make a score but Pete Tonkin strung you along...

    Question about vision after Cataract surgery with lens implants

    You can if you keep it on the down low. :D Had both my eyes done for cataracts in the last year. I have had lots of eye issues. My one 'good eye' that had been 20/40 (not great, only good), had become very bad (blind) due to a reaction to the Pfizer booster (a separate horror story) then they...

    which favors the higher-rated player, winner break or alt. break?

    The nuance can be neverending. If the gap between the two groups were tightened to say, for example, Ferrari 458 Italias vs ZR1 Corvettes, the Ferraris would still be the "better" group it stands to reason the winner break / alternate break winning % conclusions would change considerably. Then...
