The cue hasn't 'evolved' in the ways you are stating simply because there's no need for it to. You don't need added power or performance in an 'arms race' with your opponent because you don't ever compete physically against them, like in tennis. Harder, faster, stronger doesn't get you...

Obviously by encouraging their peers to haze them about their hair until they develop differing mental issues.

I saw this item on E-Bay and the question just had to be asked.... First off - the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Used-Jacoby-Cue-with-2-Shafts-/271054073721?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f1c14ef79#ht_500wt_1414 Secondly, I by no means am disparaging or making fun of David Jacoby, I have owned...

"cue now has no maker's mark" lol - did he sand it off?

To add even more fuel on the fire: He has a second cue which to me looks like an exact duplicate of the 'sugartree' just in maple - with no claims as to the maker. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Custom-Pool-Cue-Unknown-maker-radial-pin-/170904991461?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27cabb36e5#ht_500wt_1414

In league play I absolutely buried my opponent with a safety, so he 3 railed the cue ball to get the hit, then his object ball banks into the side pocket.... and.... left him perfectly straight on the 8 ball to win the game *sigh*

IMO the 'decline of the professional pool player' is due to one thing and one thing only - $$$. Not rules, 'trick equipment' etc. I used to play with a guy who could easily play at the pro level. We asked him one night why he doesn't travel to the tournaments and compete. He explained that by...

There have been some excellent points made on both sides of this argument... but all I can think of right now is the reaction of Earl if a camera man ran the camera out over the table on a boom like that while he was shooting. Epic Meltdown :smile:

but but..... He has the comment from an 'expert' saying the cue is worth a fortune!?! *snicker*

The veneer work in the trim rings is outstanding! Well done.

I was recently viewing this thread: http://http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=285080 I have always wanted to get a conversion done of a titlist that ends up wrapless. Are all Hoppe Titlist cues full spliced? Or is this something unique to the linen wrapped models? If they are all...

APA Ruling? I have a question about the built in extenders and the APA. (Please don't use this as an excuse to bash the APA) The rules state (saw in another thread and just checked myself) "Cues with movable parts will generally NOT be allowed." I doubt this was something they intended that...

I think the problem is actually pool looks too easy when played by the pros. Think about what the casual fan watches. They like to see people screw up. Why are the courses for the US Open allowed to grow so much it's like hitting in a wheat field if you are in the rough? Because people get...

Most posts I laugh...some I wince...some i go 'meh' .... but this one..... .... :eek: Speechless

It's too bad he got banned - but I do want to address his challenge to debate logically. The #1 and main flaw with your rules (I won't even discuss the strategy portion) is that you do not fulfill the needs of a 'game' A game of skill by definition has to require the participants to...

The interesting thing here for me is if you look at the guys sales history he is obviously a dealer in older cues - his previous sales include many palmers and a paradise. My gut instinct is that someone with his history knows how to identify cues, or should have the resources to do so. If he...

I really think we are missing a major money making opportunity here. I envision a whole new shelf in the bookstores. Instead of 'Pool FOR Dummies' We can have 'Pool BY Dummies' Think of the possibilities.....

I have visions of you waking one morning to find a wrinkled tube of dried out clear coat on the floor and your now matte finish predator basking in the sun like a large snake :eek:
