Well worded explanation. I liken it to baseball statistics - a hitter may have a great chance to get a hit in any given situation (like on a Tuesday night game after the 6th inning against a left handed reliever who is facing his 3rd batter) but, you have to go with the assumption that he is a...

This transaction may be totally legit - but it raises enough red flags that I agree with the previous poster that it is not worth it. It is no different from the Craigslist scam where they pay you via Paypal and then send someone to get it. They file a non-receipt of item with Paypal and get...

Was Shane really steadying himself that much in the last rack...or was the constant stopping to wipe his cue just poking Dennis? I know he did it periodically throughout the match, it just seemed he stopped a lot in the last rack.

On Shane's shot neither ball could be spotted without the spotting 'thing' sitting on the rack, so they rotated the rack. On Dennis' shot the cue ball could be spotted. Also, I think Dennis was just making sure the balls didn't get moved on Shane's shot, as he didn't have a shot as they lay...

In the chat there were people saying it was a new prototype from Predator that he had recently discussed in an interview. I have no idea, but that was being said.

Another work of art, as always. I would like to thank you for the picture of it before assembly. It allows an appreciation of the totality of the work that the assembled shots just can't convey.

The best of both worlds: Get a job at a pool hall. Make your money, always have access to the equipment, and get to know the identities and speed of all the players in the area. Be a cook, counter guy, bartender, whatever. One of the best players I have ever seen is the bartender at the one of...

I think many people use the term 'taper roll' to describe movement when rolled that doesn't exceed the taper of the shaft. Obviously a pro tapered shaft has more leeway than a conical in this regard. I think the problem is that, like stated before, it is possible for a used shaft to not be...

I am curious - has anyone ever done an experiment comparing distance of off center the cue ball has hit vs. deflection created? (calling Dr. Dave) The reason I ask is this - if it is a linear relation ship i.e. for every x distance you hit off the center line you get some multiple of x in...

Agreed - anyone who thinks this is valuable information is more than welcome to sell me their home Diamond tables for the $200-500 value that they list.

While the 'inlay method' makes perfect sense in relation to cues of a previous generation, as stated earlier in the thread it borders on worthlessness for newer cues. For instance, a plain jane Barenbrugge with his intricate rings should be worth no more than another plain jane with phenolic or...

Since I got the green light that it won't fall apart - Thanks Ryan - I pulled it all the way out. 10.5" total length with 5" threaded and it weighs 4.1 ounces. I am guessing cutting is out of the picture as I don't think I would have any thread left at the desired weight. Ryan the bolt was...

I recently got an older green logo Mali cue. Beautiful wood in the cue and I love the look of it, but the thing is a beast. 21 oz with the stock shaft (4.3 oz for the shaft!) So being the inquisitive fellow I am, I popped the bumper off and saw a philips head bolt - so naturally I started...

As silly as it sounds - they probably don't recognize what you paid as 'fair value.' You probably have to get either an 'expert' or the maker of the cue to quote you a replacement price for the shaft. I am guessing the reason for this is to keep dishonest people from 'paying' a friend thousands...

I am also curious if this has been resolved, as Eric was talking large amounts of smack on Facebook about how none of this is his fault, he didn't have an address, and then he traveled to Vegas (seemingly for 2-3 weeks) and couldn't ship them. Also, he happened to break his phone while in...

I saw that they were a sponsor of the live stream from Turning Stone, and went to their website. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with these? Looks to be an industrial company that obviously has someone that plays pool working in R&D. Here's a link...

Warning: potential thread derailment I am wondering (in general - not just in regards to the OP's question) why everyone is always looking for a new, next greatest cue when there are thousands of 'vintage' cues that can be had for pennies on the dollar, and are excellent cues, especially if you...

I just wanted to post officially and apologize to DeeJay for mistakenly saying it was he who purchased the cue from Eric when it was in fact someone else. I have since edited my original post to reflect the change, but I wanted to make sure everyone knew it was my mistake - he was in no way...

I never realized that 13.5mm is 'the common size for most cue shafts' - I guess I will have to beef up my whippy 12.75 mm toothpicks. :wink:

Does PayPal track frequency of gift payments? I would think they do and if they see someone getting hundreds of gift payments they would take action. One of the reasons I ask is the new trend on Facebook is for people to raffle high end cues that they can't sell for one reason or another. So...
