Last I heard, Joe is living up in Barrie, Ontario. He still has lots of gamble, but not a lot of takers there. I played him a few times years ago, and he was always entertaining, whether he was coming a foot and half off the floor when he broke or ripping tips off his cue and muttering. Back...

I didn't have a dog in this fight, but I enjoyed watching this year's Mosconi Cup, and I watched a good deal of it. Things I'd like to comment on: York Hall and its 'atmosphere': Tough place to fade, but I think it's clear that the US team needs to actively train to overcome the hometown...

Lovely cues, pretty much the standard for the game. Pricey though, especially if you are just getting your feet wet in snooker again. You might try buying something more economical while seeing if you stick with it. You can buy a two-piece Peradon or Dufferin for ~$150, or head over to the...

My expressions clock in at around a dollar each, but I can still play a little... Grammar matters!;)

Cues like these are a crap shoot:you might get a usable one, or you might get a total dud. These cues are made in China and Vietnam, and you've no guarantee that the wood has been dried properly (or even what species the wood really is). Also, the ones I've seen had a thick, sticky finish...

Agreed, very tactical break building. Funny audience, though: not a sound initially, and then they applauded every pot, clever or straight forward. Glad they enjoyed the show.

I have had two Canadian-made Falcons, one that was ~$200, and the other about $400, for nearly 15 years. Love them. Also have a Predator SP that $takehor$e reworked. Fantastic hitting cue. I have a sub-$500 custom from PI that I like, too. Nothing against pricier cues, but the ones I have...

Nice offerings. That electric green font is very hard to read, IMO.

Higgins takes it, with a 61 break under pressure. Trump led 7-2 at one point. There's life in the Wizard from Wishaw yet.

Score is 9 - 9. One frame decider up next. Great match!

I feel a good shoe is worth the cost of investment. It amazes me that folks will spend hundreds of dollars on a jacket or coat and then overlook what's on their feet. I like what Mephisto does, but acknowledge it doesn't work for everyone. Some of the GeoX shoes are decent. If you prefer a...

Cool. Also good to see Alain Robidoux on the list.

You may find that your incoming new shaft will not work. I have a cue made in the Philippines, and the pin is a copy of a radial, but not an exact one. I ordered JPs from Jim Baxter here on AZ, and they would not fit: the pitch on the threads was slightly different, enough that, as you...

Fair enough. I saw at least three blacks 'dribble' home. I played on a table last night that would have stopped this break cold:thumbup:

I grew up playing primarily snooker, so my first cue was an ash BCE 2-piece, which I gave to a friend late in my teens. Next cue was a Burroughes and Watts snooker cue, very nice, but I never felt comfortable with it, and gave it to a different friend. Third snooker cue was another BCE, gave...

Textbook break building, with a fantastic black to start things off. Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Av5uSg4c5FI

I'm not a bodybuilder, but I reckon that is Sergio Oliva. Custom shirts for those arms, for sure. I used to train as a powerlifter, now I work with kettlebells, and run with my wife, who whups my a#$. I don't play long pool sessions often, but I find that my focus is better after a good run...

JPs are sold.

Custom Jim Baxter JPs - Radial pin SOLD I ordered a custom set of JPs from Jim, thinking my cue had a radial pin. Turns out, it's a copy of a radial, but not quite the same, so here they are for sale. Jim's work speaks for itself, and I've used his picture here. I'd like $40, shipped...

I'm thinking he means Huntsville, ON, where I don't know of any place to play. Barrie might be your best bet, if you feel like taking a drive.
