About an hour and twelve minutes :D Hendy <--- Can't wait to go smoke one!

here's a bad pic but that's all I could get. I hope this helps. Thanks all

Hi AZB, I'm looking at buying this Nick Varner jump/break cue. It doesn't look too fancy but definitely looks to be in good condition. I might be able to get it for around $75. I don't know the model number but it looks to be a nice rosewood with maple wrap. I can't put pics up now but I might...

Finally read it! Since I first started this thread last year I have read many books on our favorite subject. I've read everything from Koehler's Science of Pocket Billiards to some obscure 101 shots book from Meucci (as far as I can tell). I've learned quite a great deal from the many good...

I took my playing cue down to an 18.5 and I couldn't be happier. I'm thinking to get closer to 18 but right now I definitely can hit softer and more precise with a lighter cue. I don't think I'll ever have anything over 19oz from now on. I hit with a friends 17oz cue and that was kind of wierd...

I play one-pocket on a bar box all the time and I love it!!! One pocket is such a great game! Playing it on the bar box makes an even more intense game because of all the traffic you run into. Not to mention some of the "finer nuances" of bar tables (leans, cushions, and felt). Whenever we're...

DANG! really?! I thought this thing might have been a gem... I was suspicious about the low price but I figured they didn't quite know what it was. Good thing AZB knows! And knowing is half the battle :thumbup:

This cue looks pretty dang sweet! It definitely needs a refinish but it's got nice red veneers, mop rings and inlays, boxes and a window... Wait... Why don't I buy this myself?! If I don't at least one of us can get it...

I work at a few different apartment properties and I have a resident with a table in their living room. I'm not sure how much they play but I haven't gotten a complaint on them so far. Which surprises me cuz most apartments have pretty thin walls. I'm sure being in not such a great neighborhood...

That is a nice cue but am I the only one that is cringing when I see the shafts just sitting out on concrete like that... All due respect, you can do whatevery you like with your cues but dang just looking at those pics makes me paranoid :sad:

I live in the Costa Mesa CA area and pretty much every pool hall around here charges $10 an hour for the 9 footers. There are a few that will have $5 an hour table time during the daytime till about 4pm. They will vary after that from $8-$18 and on top of that some places will have a drink and...

I just had my local library put in a request to transfer the copy of Rags to Rifleman from the Library of Congress. They said it might be a couple weeks before they even tell me if they are willing to lend it out. I didn't think they'd even consider putting in the request but my librarians were...

I agree with McGee! (ha! that rhymes) I always go for the 8 Ball break by shooting for the second ball as full as I can get it with a little bit of draw. When I get it right, I will always drop the opposite back corner ball and a nice spread with whitey in the middle. Of course, when I get it...

Added pics...

Here's an update AZB! Got the cue last week and it is better than expected. Looks to be an older Adams with no markings or stamps. The butt seems like it is Rosewood with nice figuring. It definitely shows its age with some marks that show use but no major damage. It's got nice synthetic linen...

McDermott Cues... Great Customer Service!!! Thanks Jayme :thumbup: I'm glad you joined the forum :welcome:

It sounds like the guy is pretty reputable but if McDermott had anything to do with it I'm sure they'll say so in their response. Even if it was a custom or prototype it should have the M clover and probably say USA or have a mark underneath. Every McDermott I've ever seen has the 3/8x10 but...

I'm pretty sure all production McDermott cues are 3/8x10 wood to wood joints. That's kind of their thing... I'm sure you could get a custom made with any joint you wanted but I've never seen a McDermott with a piloted joint... Have you asked McDermott? There's a lot of very knowledable and...
