    Sneak Peek SEARING TWINS .. 1st (8pt pointer)

    I also watched Dennis work on these cues during the last few weeks before Valley Forge. He truly devoted 110% to getting these cues perfect for you. He strives for absolute perfection and borders on maniacal about it. The inlays are amazing and were crafted with incredible detail and...

    AZB Shirts.. What Type Of Shirt Are YOU?

    These look great!!!! This shirt looks really comfortable. And I agree they would be very versatile. Polo shirts can get a little tight around the shoulders and/or waist after they have been washed a few times. This can make them a little tough to play pool.

    Proficient Billiards Escrow Service

    Ebay bidding ended at $ 1550 and with the shipping, insurance and the escrow fee to Proficient it totalled $ 1725. All the white you see in the cue is ivory (except the ferrules). It is 10 points up and 10 points down with a silver veneer along one side of each point. I'll get to play with it...

    Proficient Billiards Escrow Service

    Thanks!!! I am pretty new at collecting and am just accumulating whatever strikes my fancy. BUT - I think I got a really good buy on this cue. It was included in the McWorter pics in the 2001 Cuemakers calendar. As soon as I learn how to upload pics I will post in the Cue Gallery.

    Proficient Billiards Escrow Service

    Just received a McWorter I bought off Ebay. The seller had no history or feedback so I was reluctant to buy. He agreed to use Proficient's Escrow service so we proceeded with the transaction. Scott at Proficient provides a super valuable service. You can go to their website and click on the...

    post pics of your FANELLI!!!!! butterfly

    Beautiful designs but playability? I love Paul's butterfly designs but am not sure how the butterflies below the joint and above the shaft collar affect playability?? Won't all the added veneers, glue, different woods have the tendency to detract from consistency and feel? Just a naive...

    Customer Contact

    Money is certainly a major consideration. In my case the builder did not require or ask for any "up-front" money. During one of our discussions he mentioned one of his machines was giving him trouble and he was in a little bind moneywise to fix it. I sent him $ 700 toward the cost of the cue...

    Espiritu Cue on ebay.....

    He did the same thing TWICE with a Jerry Olivier cue. But he isn't the only ebay seller that does this on a regular basis. I agree with you. It you want a minimum price either put a reservie on the item or establish your minimum as the required starting bid.

    Old Jacoby

    Hello - I started playing again after 40 years and wanted to by a cue. Among many others I bought an old Jacoby from Bob Fancher. The story I was told, confirmed by Dave Jacoby, is that the cue was built for Ernie San Souci, a renowned player and collector from New York. Are you related...

    shooting with contacts lens?

    I started playing pool again last year after a 40 year layoff. My vision is very bad. I am legally blind in my left eye and wear strong tri-focals. I kept getting headaches and aches in my neck from trying to lift my head to lood through my glasses. I have never worn contacts before. The...
