After reading this thread it sounds to me like everyone is hustling everyone else. That would be hilarious. :D But I get it because I've been around watching players for decades and it's foolish to trust anyone...cash and carry.That's it. I would not sell a cue on ebay.

WOW. That's what hustlers do. You must think like one. LOL

LOL. Well look. You're not supposed to believe or think any one opinion is correct. It's not worth a plug nickel TO ME. The key word here is "opinion". You are supposed to take it all in and see what makes sense, don't rely on any one thing. Two things have happened. 1...you put it up and it...

There are different ways to define rare. ALL old cues is rare in the sense that they're all gone. Rare in cue collecting is the "unusual' type of rare. A very fancy 80s Kershenbrock SW would be rare because there weren't that many fancy ones built. Rare too because of high demand for a...

This cue is at it's proper valuation. As some have mentioned in the neighborhood of 1500 to 1800. I wouldn't pay that price because it's an old standard design and therefore not noteworthy, simple points, very very old butt design, ss joint is not in demand nowadays, is that a delrin butt? I...

Weren't JossWest cues not holding their value a while back? Like some years ago? People were trying to get rid rid of them. At least I recall you could find them easily at these cue broker sites.

By citing high runs I was making a case for all general players, just as you cite tourney play as your basis of comparison. For my part, my high is 93 and I was ecstatic to pop a lucky two in a row in 3c. I am just the opposite of you. Now granted I really never play 3c but I think a hard ratio...

This doesn't compute with me. +300 is a high run by bunches of 14.1 players, +400 a handful, a +500, and a +600. No 3c players have +30s, +40s, a +50, or a +60. It doesn't matter if it's practice or tourney competition. By citing only tourney play, you're not scoping the breadth of scoring in...

beads is funner

If people are willing to pay, it's not overpriced. It's only overpriced to people who are NOT willing to pay. So it is all subjective. Beyond that, all custom cues are priced according to workmanship and detailing. A basic Hercek plays no differently that an expensive one, but the expensive...

They go wherever they can get backing.

I don't think 3c can be compared. Someone correct me, but the average "run" is less than 2per inning, and Blomdahl beat Reyes 30-20 in 20 innings. So for a little perspective, if I am right and the average is <2per inning, and the world record is somewhere around high 20's, then extrapolating...

Before you all started arguing, you should have gotten all your terms cleared up first!!! Like the word "HIT". Now, why don't you all start defining what you all mean by "hit", because I have a feeling it means something different to everybody.

I think your question should actually be "what is the best pin-type?" What is a "best joint" encompasses many parts. The surface contact and style, the material, and pin. For instance - flat-face/piloted, stainless/phenolic/wood to wood/ivory/brass, with pin type. There are other types but you...

Dunno, but there's a lot of slick pool players if you ask me.

It's going to lighten the weight and move the balance forward. Get the original cuemaker to change it. He'll have to adjust for everything.

OH SH** I dealt with him. Superior guy and very generous.

Well, in a sense you're saying "whatever it takes". That's all I'm saying, but I'm saying that inside is not the natural roll.

Well, yes but that is why I said special circumstances, like the op's diagram etc etc. Most of your position play should be with running english - it is the natural way. I will go as far as to say the intentional inside is only for very specific circumstances, as in there would be no other...

Explain yourself. I just got finished saying outside english is a "natural position" shot. Your example sounds like you're agreeing yet you're saying you disagree??
