    Whats the big deal

    IMHO I didn't notice a difference in the two other than the flag on the side. I tried a head to head test with a couple pieces I have of each and they both adhered well to the tip and held up as expected to extreme draw, follow and side spin shots. I even tried the post flag tan kind against the...

    what should i name this cue, any suggestions?????

    The Deluxe Sampler. Reminds me of a fancy version of wood sample cues that I've seen made by a few makers with the latest one besides this one done by Lee Peppers of LP custom cues. It was posted on here as well. Interesting cue. Shouldn't be a problem identifying your cue in a lineup:thumbup:

    Artistic Pool Discussion-Skills or Circus ???

    IMHO Pool trick shots competitions and shows should compliment pool not look like they're being played at the final hole of a miniature golf course. Some props have always been ok but when the majority of shots use props the show or competition loses class and many people's interest. I've most...

    New LP Custom with JD Forearm

    Lee. Thanks for the clarification. I read the words JD forearm but still ended up typing full splice. Just a goofy mistake on my part. I'd edit it out if it wasn't quoted already. One thing I can confidently say after shooting with the one I just received is that if you joined this one with the...

    New LP Custom with JD Forearm

    Beautiful LP custom. I love inlays like that on hoppe style cues. Now that's a serious full splice player you got there. Lee sure makes great hitting cues! Congrats! Kevin

    What would you call ......

    First thing I wanted to say is I'm sorry to hear you're having to deal with this crap on only a new shaft and refinish. I also wanted to say there are still a nice bunch of guys doing this work that won't take forever. I'm also curious as to who the maker is and if you don't want to go public...

    LP Custom Hoppe Style Cue

    I know this is out of build order but here are some pics from the initial steps of this build. Would you think the forearm would finish out this dark and rich in color based on seeing these pics? I know I didn't but I sure am happy about it.

    Just finished the table today!

    Beautiful table and sharp looking install! I really like the look of the brass pocket irons but the fact that they sit on top of the rails instead of being inset in them plus with even rounded head screws sticking out would make me keep a crappy cue around for any shots to be made over the...

    Please join us in celebrating Ilona Balner's (Palmer Cue's) 90th birthday!

    Happy Birthday Ilona! Good health and much happiness to you! I may not have been blessed like was mentioned already in owning a Palmer but I was blessed recently in having a great hitting cue made by Lee Peppers with beautifully rich figured rosewood that was originally carefully picked by...

    LP Custom Hoppe Style Cue

    Thanks everybody! Thanks so much for all the nice comments about Lee's work. In case you couldn't tell from my first post, I'm really happy with my new cue. Ok...mini-review....I got to a table to try it out and IMHO it hits great. It has a fairly stiff and solid feeling, old school hit with...

    LP Custom Hoppe Style Cue

    Got a ring at the door this morning, no it wasn't Jehovah's witnesses this time, instead it was a very well packed triangular box with some precious contents leaning at my door side and a mailman running back to his truck. I'm so psyched at getting my contest cue from Lee. I can't wait to get...

    A teaser of a monster to come...

    Real nice cue....I can't wait to see it finished. Always loved Ernie's 3 high 3 low cues but this is way more special then what I was admiring back in the day with these being recut points. I still have a 4 pointer he made from the mid 90's and love playing with it. Ernie sure makes a sweet...

    LP Titlist Tribute

    It's definitely a shame he's ceasing his cue making operation as Lee makes one hell of a playing cue and what you have sir is a great example of his work. Really like your take on a titlist style hoppe tribute. Please post how it hits when you can. Thanks...Kevin I'm going to miss his contests...

    straight pool rack

    I still don't get why they didn't just make that rack with dampeners built in to start considering how loud that thing is.

    New cue rituals?

    If I get a new cue I usually burnish the heck out of the shaft with a piece of non-stained leather to close any pores in the wood that may still be open. I might even hit the cue with 600 grit or higher sandpaper first before doing the leather burnishing. I'm attempting to protect against...
