Keep up the good work :cool:

Thing is, I can understand how easy it is to be lead astray with a few botched facts. Perhaps he just spoke to the wrong people, who lead him to believe whatever. But holy crap. How you gonna sit there and tell me you have the most rare cue in existence with a straight face lolpool ... As if...

Osage Orange would probably be good for cues except that the tree naturally grows crooked more often than knot. Damn near impossible to find straight grain. Yet another reason why maple is ideal, because of reliable straight grain wood. Hugely important in the prevention of warpage.

Dean Ive got some great photos of old-school players being touched up for poster printing as we speak. That and about 1000 more of all things pool, if you are looking for something or someone in particular, let me know

Now that is a fantastic idea

No pics. Just a reference to an ILLUSTRATION of the cue that appeared in the magazine for a totally non related reason.

Please understand that by 1900 Brunswick was producing 400,000 cues a year. And Brunswick employed a literal Army of cue makers at the time, of which Rambow was just one, and he was the newb at that point. Furthermore, Rambow, once he gained the right amount of experience, specialized in...

Ok kiddies let's start at the beginning. He has a second owner original Rambow... Ok, good so far.... The cue was shown in an article from June 89 in P&B... Ok let me look... Wait. The article in the magazine is by Joe Newell and it's about the use of the Mace. It has nothing to do with...

Oddly enough, the email I posted is verbatim. At this point I have no idea why they even contacted me. It kinda sounds like he is trying to sell it But that sales pitch is off the charts lol

I received this email yesterday and I'm wondering if you feel the same way about it that I do: " I have in my possession a second owner original H. J. Rambow Cue.* This particular cue was shown in an article from a June 1989 Pool and Billiard magazine (of which I have a copy).* It is ivory...

Since pocket billiards is still very much thriving, and it doesn't have an inherent life-span as living things do, how can we be absolutely sure that it's best days have already happened? Surely you realize that at various points in the history of cue sports , the public side of pool has...

If not that many participate, then clearly the stats cannot accurately represent the entire talent pool. How many personal friends of yours would you back against Karen? Maybe we can set something up

There are not one but many reasons that women don't currently dominate the top ranks. However, not one of those reasons is that they simply cant. As our culture changes, clearly more women are playing at all, and more are achieving higher levels of play than any time in pool history, so, I...

For example, we now have more than 40 junior state qualifiers for the junior nationals, when only a few years ago, there were maybe 8 (junior) college related qualifiers. There is also a new international " Mosconi.cup" style event for the juniors, The Atlantic Challenge Cup, both of which will...

Billiard News will always, forever more, be found online first, and will also be distributed in an instant all over the world, something that paper media can only dream of. Any notion of a newspaper being more relevant than the interweb recently or in the future is historically ignorant

If someone can put me in touch with Buddy, it would be much appreciated. I've been trying to reach him for an ABR interview.

There is (almost) every indication that we are entering a new Golden Age. It's different yes but still rich if you look deep enough.

It's the difference between talking to the boys in the locker room and talking to your girlfriend. Gotta walk that walk, as they say. Hero ain't nothing but a sandwich, as they say

"Regulation" should mean that the table meets the specs of the regulating agency, which in this case would mean BCA regulations, which is a 9ft table. All proper tables have a 2:1 ratio length to width. "Regulation" applied to any other size would be a misnomer.
