I remember buying a deano Cue unseen long ago. I got to speak on the phone with Dean and the Cue I received was better than expected. I made 6 on the break that night in 9 ball league with the deano, and proceeded to miss the next shot and lost lol That being said had I not run into a tight...

Chicago’s hateful weather has made me fear ivory! Red veneers all the way! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mezz Shaft is sold now. Thanks everyone!

Here is a Schon SP I bought. I wanted to love the cue to death, but I couldn't put my finger on why not. Then I realized I wanted an old school looking cue. Originally I was going to purchase an STL4 and get a white/green spec linen wrap on it. But with the cost of purchasing a new cue...

When I was first learning pool and playing casually back in 2005, used my friend's old Euro line meucci. It was his cue from the late 80s/early 90s and it played great. Fast forward to 2011 when I first started taking pool seriously. My cousin let me hit with his PP4 from the 2000s? Red Dot...

So I was looking for a cue to leave in the car for those emergency pool scenarios. I could always get something cheap (like a players/viper/etc), but I didn't want to spend more than $30 on this...and those were out of the range. Then I found a $27 sneaky pete on Amazon that may have served...

Best advice right here :) . If you keep going to the same place, try to secretly mark your favorite house cue too. But if you want a cheap break cue, here's some things I've done. But if you want something of your own, I've had good experiences with attaching Phenolic Tip/Ferrule combos onto...

IF there's something I can leave in the car year round on an old earl strickland cuetec butt, I'm in! Especially with these Chicago weather cycles.

one of my favorite stories from Ted. It was no secret that all the pool halls for color of money were shot in Chicago. Ted said he heard Scorsese was in town to scout pool halls. Marie's was dingy and classic as they come, so Ted's wife said "we have to get the place cleaned up"! They...

All set now! Thanks!

Hey Everyone, I know this is a national pool forum (and the premier one), but wanted to post this up there for anyone that knew Ted Minassian and/or have ever been to Marie's Golden Cue in Chicago. Since it was one of the oldest pool halls in the city, I figured some of you have been through...

$900 Ebony Cognoscenti Plane Jane with 2 shafts, basically new. Bought it from a pool friend since he was upgrading from Joey. (Joey came to our pool hall and I currently live 4 blocks from his shop) Sold it because I was broke, and had a custom modified canadian dufferin that played better...

Lol, He's a pug mix. Not sure what the other parts are, most likely lab. He's 8 years old (approx) and a rescue. I use Wag so a new dog walker comes to my home each time (or some times the same one) and he jumps for joy on all of them. That's when I knew he would be the shittiest guard...

Summary: Schon was the first cue I've hit with that wowed me, and after a long journey I'm back with Schon. Back when I first started pool, I bought a Meucci PPAC3. My friend loaned me his old 90s Meucci euro purple cue, and my cousin (who taught me pool initially) played with a Meucci Power...

So back when i first started playing in 2011, I remember the pool industry being in a seemingly all time low. Then around 2014, I changed my career, adopted a dog, got a new apartment, and a shoestring budget since no raise. Also in terms of league, we all got boosted up in handicaps, no one...

Hey Everyone! I tried searching via forum and google search, but the only thing I see are about schon's old WB single layer tips. Having recently received a schon, it seems their stock tips are a softer hitting layered tip (when compared to the original). And I quite like them. I'd like to...

There's a 10 year waiting list, but I think I can squeeze something in.

Just finished watching this. Had to get it off a Russian Stream Site (had my ad blocker turned on). It was really cool! To summarize without spoiling much - Played at Chris' (it was awesome to see some of the local folks on TV...even if it was just in the background) - Saw Tweeten Factory -...

It was interesting. I didn't even know they were doing something like this. Kind of reminds me of Anthony Bourdain's shows, except it focuses on Pool instead of food. I really want to see the Chicago one, since it's home. I see he was going to Chris' which is cool. Wonder if he found anyone...
