    Identifying Rare Cues

    I have this issue in a million percent sealed condition and it really is a special one - generally and for me especially. This is a very good website as those can read some articles who don't have the issue physically. It is fun to see how much more that pair would bring today than "just"...

    Looking to buy new BlueGrass plain cue

    Looking back that's what I guess is right. I have seen some amazingly beautiful ones in ebony that were selling for around 1300 when the demand was high for these cues - approximately 1-1.5 years ago. Since then not that many have hit the market and if a cue is maple, is much used, has two...

    a nice gus comming this week

    A barbell Gus is always at the top of my list... It would be nice to see what the forearm is like! Very nice find nonetheless.

    Need Opinions

    Plus you may want to spend 10 more minutes on pictures, less artificial lighting and more sunshine, one butt sleeve, one forearm and one whole cue picture that's sharp and you may get even more interest in it. I hope it works out for you,

    For Sale: Excellent 1995 JOEL HERCEK Pool Cue

    Good luck with the sale This is a very-very nice cue, I wonder what # is it? Maybe if you take the bumper off it will have a number written on it (on the inside) in gold and that should tell you which # this cue is. My Hercek was built in 1994 or 95 as well and although it's an early cue as...

    RJH Richard Hsu Cues - reviews?

    I have arranged a wrap-change on a friend's cue, he installed a real teju-lizard wrap and I can tell that the wrap was nicely chosen and absolutely flawlessly executed. He was easy to work with good, prompt and intelligent communication, not being afraid of solve any slight problems with...

    My NEW OLD JOSSWEST

    I absolutely love these old JWs as well - and this one is no exception. The 5-veneers, the clean look and the shafts all help and make this a fantastic cue! I like cues that aren't that light but would like to know how you like this cue in terms of playability and balance? I have been thinking...

    Cue makers Prewitt style dot rings ??

    Sugartree has his micro-rings, Black Boar has inlaid "rings", some can do chain-links (JMW for example), Gina does silver-ivory "bushka-ish" rings, JW has inlaid rings as well, Bill Schick often uses double or triple brass rings, Tad has maple blocks, Haley does dash-dot-dash patterns in silver...

    The hit of an Ivory ferrule ?

    I have ivory ferrules on all three shafts for my Hercek and so far I have played with two of the shafts. I believe that merely the ferrule doesn't matter, it can be the best choice just as well as the worst. I know that generally SS joint and ivory ferrule is a preferred combination and I have...

    Wanted/For Sale Forum Rant

    I believe that several good points were made by Worminator and doubt that anyone would say that it, in its entirety is wrong / unagreeable. While a banner can definitely be unaffordable or even pointless for many selling here in larger quantities, I wholeheartedly support making the Club...

    how many cases do you own

    I own one Whitten 1×2 case in black leather. So far the best case as I have grown to love it. It has been with me in 100 as well as in 23 degrees, in dry and wet, in car and 95% of the time on public transport. It has some battle scars on it but I have not pulled a damaged or bent cue out of it...

    My small personal collection of Gus and Barry

    Hoppe's done this way just freak me out, they are probably in my top-5 favourite designs in the world, cars, buildings, watches, interiors, art everything considered. I wish someday I'll have one of these Hoppe's... you can always put more inlays into a cue than before but you can hardly put...

    No pics so don't open, just a alert the worlds most monster cue will be born soon

    I think you will find it very hard to find a text that remains understandable and keeps its original meaning if you highlight only selected parts of it and ask questions about them. Actually, doing so makes very little sense to me and makes it more difficult to understand what one wished to say...

    6/30/2010 new 5 veneer JOEL HERCEK

    That is a fantastic cue and - no surprise - Joel's description points out the traditional and modern blend perfectly. I really like the veneer colours as I have seen those in person ;) Blue and black looks cool next to each other and also from far it's not a giveaway that it has 5-veneers: you...

    6/26/2010 a new MANZINO "THE TANGIERS" take a peek

    Can't wait, can't wait! ;) This one is great too, one of my top-2 favourite Manzinos and that's quite something as it has strong competition :)

    His and Hers Gus Szamboti

    Kenny, that is an awesome pair. Getting something perfect once is already an achievement but the way these two cues lay next to each other show the standard Gus has set and maintained all the time. Two great examples, thank you for sharing!

    Wanna see some .....BALLS?

    OUCH that's a serious cue with a serious and deadly look. I have read this here a zillion times but I myself scarcely use the expression, yet I feel it fits in this case: 'I bet it hits a ton!' ;) I assume that this is a letter cue and not an early one by the rings and the inlays at the top of...

    The time has come - Hercek.

    Thank you for asking my friend :) At first, three answers burst into mind: I do! I do! I do! Seriously, I have never played as confident during the past 11 years as I do now, this is my 8th cue and have played with many-many more but it is just something different - the build, the strength, the...

    Wanna see some .....BALLS?

    Having seen those Raschig balls and your set especially I can only wonder what's in there... it sure would be nice to know what that is ;)
