    What sets the market price for a cue?

    Wow, I have a true Dufferin sneaky pete that didn't have to go to an outside cue maker to be converted. Just what kind of ungodly sum must that be worth? Bought it around '93 when living in Hawaii, must be worth $4000+ by now. (by the way, still straight, hits fine, but use it at home with my...

    When to tell a player he is on 2....

    BCAPL rules state that the offending player must be warned by his opponent or a referee after he commits his second foul and the offending player must acknowledge the warning. So, probably the sooner the better, but it would seem anytime prior to him shooting again would meet the rule.

    JW 70's Micarta questions

    Micarta comes in many forms - it is not uncommon for certain type of micarta to have either cotton or linen threads as a binding/strengthening agent running through it - usually seen more in micarta for industrial applications, but not far fetched to imagine someone using this type micarta for...

    What's the best Jump Cue?

    I've used Lomax jump cues and they are great, but of all I've tried, nothing beats a Jacoby jump cue.

    What Break Cue to buy now?

    See if you can get a hold of a Jacoby Edge - after going through quite a few like you, tried one of these and haven't looked back - great break cue.

    A lot of low opinions on 9 ball, me included, what about 8?

    My experience is that a good 9 ball player isn't necessarily a good 8 ball player, but a good 8 ball player is almost always also a good 9 ball player.

    Predator 2k5 1st Edition

    Folks, This is a great cue - superb balance, solid hit, and it looks good. I use several cues, but my favorite player is one of these. So much so, I have two of this model. I bought a second one a couple of years ago just in case something happened to the first one. Original price was...

    ABP and their 15 minutes of fame!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I personally think the players should be seeded. They have paid their dues and earned it. Any player playing in the US Open ranked in the WPA rankings top 32 should get ranked. And for the women, WPA top 16. By the way, only 13 players in the ABP are ranked in the WPA top 32 (Archer is...

    First Annual Windy City Cue Show

    By the way, there is no such thing as "First Annual". An event isn't "annual" until it repeats. Your event is the "Inaugural" Windy City Cue Show.

    do you think by ball control plan is a decent plan

    As drawn, the 11 is straight in the side - why not just draw straight back?

    ABP boycotts Berhman's event

    Just thought of another reason the ABP players are so adamant about timely payments - makes it easier to chop the money with their behind the scenes deals and shenanigans. I was at an event in the mid 90's that involved two of the players on the ABP player list. "Player A" was on the top of...
