    Making a lucrative living in pool?

    Not trying to get into a financial debate, but I was just pointing out what some of the numbers indicate.

    Making a lucrative living in pool?

    Rich may not be the best word, but if someone's making six figures annually, that's substantial compared to most Americans and more than many engineers, pharmacist, and managers. It puts you in the top 5% of earners. BTW, congratulations on your business endeavor. Seems to be working out for...

    Making a lucrative living in pool?

    Seems that pool has greatly become less viable as far as real income nowadays, especially in the states. You get the rare successes such as Jeanette Lee (via endorsements and smart management) and Van Boening, but can you really get rich with pool as your career? How hard is it to actually...

    Crown custom cue- Wrapless w/ Curly Maple and Cocobolo

    Have a very nice Crown custom cue w/ Varney shaft. It's a great wrapless cue made by Gene La Viness that comes with a Varney shaft that is extra long- 30 inches. Beautiful curly maple with cocobolo handle that has some really nice figures in it. Very stiff hitter for those who like a hard hit...

    Opinions: what is the best playing wood for a cue?

    I definitely understand your perspective. I guess what I'm sorta trying to get to is this- if I ask a cuemaker to make me the "best" playing cue possible, regardless of design or price, I would like to know what type of wood he would pick. I've always been fond of ebony, curly maple, and...
