    Conversion Cues by Unknown Makers

    My in-laws had a farm in north central PA in the late 80's, just south of Elmira NY. There was a little place called the rec-room. I was told go there... 3 GC 1's and an Anniversary. On the wall, were a dozen Titlists. Many had the little plastic ring with the name under it on paper. I asked who...

    Summer is here....who is responsible for WARP IN TRANSIT

    If you're a dealer with half a brain.. you overnight the cue, or 2 day it, depending upon value. NEVER ship on a Thursday or Friday that allows the cue to sit in a truck or warehouse. I would say the shipper unless the buyer had made the arrangements, or the shipper is FOB origins. Common...

    Why are some sellers so Lazy, and / or Clueless?

    Adam logos from the 70's were stickers. I have never seen it inlaid. The problem for identification is that after a refinish, you do not know unless you know. This cue has been refinished, so no sticker. It is also not an Adam Classic reissue. Let me help you out a little... Adam cues the early...

    Why are some sellers so Lazy, and / or Clueless?

    He has zero feedback so I think you could guarantee this to be a scam listing. Not uncommon. As far as a Monte Carlo, the originals are well made, and I see the reissues advertised a lot as originals. JV

    Southwest cues - reasons for their popularity

    ..and Rolex's keep the same time as a Timex, but people buy them. Just because YOU do not see the value in them, doesn't make it crazy to buy one. How they play is up to the individual. One man's magic wand is another man's tomato stake. JV

    Southwest cues - reasons for their popularity

    They are popular because they play good. However that is for those that like the way they play, there are people that do not like Bushka's, Szam's, Searings, and everyone else so hearing someone say they don't play good talking about any cue is just an OPINION. They have good quality and have...

    Changing wrap on a classic Adam

    This cue will look good in black or a nice medium to dark brown. As far as originality, unless it was made for a pro, I don't think it will matter in the long run. JV

    Kersenbrock or Franklin

    That is too funny. I had a cue that had an LOA from her saying it was an early SW and one from DPK/Young claiming he built it. Unfortunately, she may be unaware of the collectability value from one to the other and that this is a BIG swing. It is unfortunate though, but even the most...

    Do most pool cue shippers have very little common sense, or are they just lazy and do not care about the way they package a pool cue when shipping it?

    Here is another hint.. with Pirateship 2-day minimum or overnight. You save money AND there is less of a chance of a problem if you pay the little extra to get it there. People who send cues valued over 2k, 3 day or ground, deserve getting them smashed. I see SO MANY people cheap out on the...

    Do most pool cue shippers have very little common sense, or are they just lazy and do not care about the way they package a pool cue when shipping it?

    I have shipped a lot of cues and never once had an issue. 4" sqr box, 4 in round tube inside of box, and bubble wrap the cue and that is that. It is not rocket science. JV

    The titleist is pure. Before it, was chaos. The titlist could be credited with establishing the base cue for the last 80 years. It was the start of the modern age. Rambow, Balabushka, Palmer, Paradise the list is endless. People still love the titleist. The fact is, it is still one of the most...
