    What color veneers for this wood combination?

    That's what I was thinking, I think he meant from inside out instead of outside in. I have been looking at as many veneer colors and combos as I could find on cues that had these wood combinations ( a lot of South West - partially due to the 6 points). I don't necessarily need color but I was...

    What color veneers for this wood combination?

    I am having a cue made that is a 6 point tulip wood (3 high, 3 low) going into an ebony forearm. Black phenolic joint and buttcap, tulip wood at the butt and a black wrap. R/R deco rings in all spots. Wondering if the wood comtrast will look nicer or classier without veneers or if there is a...

    Chicago!!

    I'm glad to hear you had a great time in my city! Chris's is the first pool hall I ever shot pool in, over 25 years ago. Many more tables now and a bit run down but still has that old school vibe. I agree about the restaurants, one of the best food cities in the country! For a big city we do...

    Herman Rambow for sale!

    If you want to auction it put it on ebay. If you only want attention and make a game out of selling your cue you should put it up elsewhere. If you are serious about selling it on AZ you should; 1. show a picture of the entire cue 2. have an asking price 3. show more respect to the members...

    Good book for learning to be a better player?

    Although there are many great books to improve your pool game, the two I found that are the most complete (and also very well written) are; 1) Phil Capelle's - Play Your Best Pool 2) Robert Byrne's - New Standard Book of Pool and Billiards CONGRATS on your new table! -Snake

    Are the best players also good athletes?

    The main attributes that translates from traditional more physical sports (i.e. baseball, football, basketball) to pool would have to be hand-eye coordination and mental toughness. Although all sports are largely mental, I believe pool is even more so. It requires certain abilities that other...

    Coth: Simonis VS. ???

    860HR will last nearly twice as long as regular 860 and cost the same price. You would think it would or should cost more but it doesn't.

    Two cues are better than one...

    I think it is just a weak attempt to hide the fact that you can not make a proper bridge. You may be able to fool some people but I'm on to you! So, that being said, if I played nine ball with you playing one handed, I would need the 3,5,7,8 and the break. Now go practice with two hands...

    I think you mean spell "right". If you want to ***** about it, it would be a good idea to not be guilty of it yourself. Just a suggestion.

    Forum Pet Peeves

    My forum pet peeves: 1) If you are going to go to the trouble to post something, go the extra step and proof read it for the forum members. I don't know how many post I have read that didn't read correctly and made no sense. I was left having to guess what the writer was trying to say. 2) When...

    I have a situaton, your thoughts please...

    If you have to choose (or have already), would you prefer to put a 7 footer in your basement with plenty of cue clearance on all sides, or would you put a 9 footer with plenty of clearance minus two trouble spots? By trouble spots I mean two 6" poles. One two feet off one of the sides and the...

    What is your favorite drink when you play pool?

    Tough question, too many variables. Where am I playing, what time of year is it, my current mood, what I have a taste for at the time and my current financial situation. Well, summers I drink mostly beer. No domestic swill, craft beers and imports. Usually Ales/pale ales or Weiss beer. If I go...
