Ed..that's Awesome! Can't wait to take part in the festivities. Looking forward to the details. I'll head by Sandcastle again soon. Kevin

Thanks for the info Sean. I might actually get there this year with it being so close in Edison. Nice!

Interesting idea. Looks to me like the spears on the points were made from changing the taper as opposed to actual inlays....Never saw that before. Thanks for sharing Jim!

Beautiful collectable piece of history and classic timeless player. Now that's a keeper for many reasons! I'm sure it was hard to let your showman go but this would be the reason to do it for sure. Hope you decide to put that cue to work on a table and often. Congrats again on your new...

RIP Chad. Never got to meet the man but I only heard good things about him via this forum. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. He will be missed. G-d bless, Kevin

Thanks to Art for organizing AZ people once again to do what we can and to Mike for making it easier to help Lisa! Help sent. I hope you get to keep that beautiful cue to once again enjoy it during better days and that those better days come your way soon. It's really great to see how the AZ...

That's one of the sweetest Szam tributes I've ever seen and you know it'll play great coming from Ernie. Thanks for the pics and for sharing where that cue ended up. Kevin

Hi Chady...PM Sent.

Sweet cue! I really like the high contrast wood combination and the fact that this is an 8 pointer with a hoppe ring doesn't hurt one bit. Congrats! Good shooting Kevin

Man you get the coolest stuff! Sweet cue with some bright veneers! Ernie's personal cues are special ones for sure. I once hit a few balls at his shop with one of his previous personal cues and it, as far as I'm concerned had the "HIT!". Enjoy the test drive tonight! That's for sure one to be...

It's a misconception that layered tips won't mushroom like single layered unpressed tips do. They almost all mushroom a tiny bit and that's why a lot of cue repair guys and makers put a slight taper on the tip. The taper allows the tip to be less likely to become wider then the ferrule when it...

Happy Birthday from Jersey!

That gangsta cue is amazing. Didn't know since it has more then 4 points that it was a full spliced cue. Is the wrap over ivory too? Has he made any others similar to this style? Joel makes great cues and you've sure had a lot of them. Amazing. Between the pics you put up and poconos hercek I...

I had a friend I used to play to see who was going to buy the food after the local weekly tournament. The last time we played it was for of all things Taco Bell, as the place was really close to the pool hall and what else can you get at 2am when there isn't a diner in sight. This last time, I...

Very beautiful cue and case set. Now that's a birthday present. Wow...amazing artistry and craftsmanship in both. I don't know your health issue as you mentioned but I sure hope you're getting better or at a bare minimum that it doesn't interfere with your enjoyment of your present. Thanks for...

Lucky guy! Beautiful cue. I love how Ernie makes 6 pointers and that's one heck of a 6 pointer. Enjoy! I'll bet the hit and feel of that cue is phenomenal! Good shooting to ya. Kevin

Here are a few... When you look down a hallway with open doors and you start visualizing how you could bank or cut people into the rooms if you had a cue ball big enough. When your hand is always forming a closed bridge yet your no where near a table or cue:) Agree with Victor. Every nice...

I don't usually like floating points in cues but this design looks awesome! Great stuff!

Ernie Martinez Showcase Coco and ebony Here's one I just picked up...pics originally taken by Shamadan.

Now that's one heck of a place to be invited to. Heard a story about it but never saw it until now. Thanks for the pics. Lucky guy! Only place I ever played on a 10 footer in Colorado was at The mirage in Littleton and I think it was a Gandy. Good shooting! Thanks for sharing this gem. Kevin
