I don't know how strange it was, but when you asked the question, the first thing that came to my mind was a very good player that came into the pool room taking all bets playing 9 ball using our broom handle. That was entertaining to watch. He always won.

LOL ... I was telling my wife of 40 years about this expanding thread on tattoos and how some people think them fashionable. I also told her someone brought up a statement that if his wife came home with tattoos he would call her stupid. My wife said, if I come home with tattoos you better...

Yeah, but I'm not talking about a guy with a tattoo. I'm talking about flooding your body with tattoos and walking around like a billboard asking to be noticed. I also think hanging your pants off your ass showing your underwear is repulsive. You have every right to do it and I have every...

I don't get you people. Now I'm not talking about the guy with an anchor tattooed to his forearm, or the woman with a rose tattooed to her ankle, both of which I consider foolish regardless, and both of which will turn to an unidentifiable blob of black stain over time. I'm talking about those...

That's THE word, repulsive. And by the way, TIME OUT....... To the people who mark up their bodies, we have as much right to consider them repulsive as you do to display them to us and anyone else that might pass within eyesight. Just because it's none of our business what you do to...

Times are changing Johnny. There are plenty of things I don't like about the changes myself. The world as we knew it is going to hell in a handbasket. Tattoos, ehh ... I don't care if they paste crap all over their face, body, and whatever else they can disfigure. Permanently disfiguring...

Exactly, even the same person shooting the same shot can alter X amount of tips of english merely by lightening or tightening their butt hand grip. Its like asking how much gas does it take to drive 100 miles. Well, now that depends on the car among other things. My point was ... how can the...

at the risk of sounding crass, and I don't mean to at all ... I don't think about tips of english, nor did I even consider this something other than rank beginners were taught to give them an idea of how to move the CB. This game IMO has to be a game of feel, and touch. Mechanically measuring...

Yeah, well we get what we pay for ... that is unless we pay thousands .... besides, why does it have to be dense? Its' got a nice dense steel weight in it. :D

Not at all, but by the OPs question, I assumed he liked the look of the southwest and didn't have the pocketbook to spend the money on one, or he didn't want to wait forever, so he asked about southwest knock offs. The knock offs are more closely worth the 80 bucks with 2 shafts than a...

I've had these things for just short of 2 years. If they warp, I'll use them as kindling, if a 2000 dollar cue warps I'll commit suicide. :embarrassed2: No honestly, I've screwed around with these shafts, and none of them have so much as a tiny wobble. I choose to use these cheapo cues...

The OP was asking about southwest knock offs though ... does Schmelke make those?

I don't know about working on your game, but I'll bet you'll be working on your stroke more. :slap:

Not to mention, there are some great Chinese players that can run hundreds of balls with American cues and those are imports to them, so .... :shrug: :rolleyes: :smile:

No these things were called MR Cues ... the guy only has that Zebrawood wood cue left for sale that I know of on ebay. Even the weights were replaceable. Pooldawg had plenty of them available. Shoot, the wraps cost me 160 bucks. They all came through with black linen wraps, not so great. I...

LOL ... lucky for me, I'm blind as a bat. :thumbup:

LOL, you probably don't remember Paul Harvey, but never the less, ... And now for the rest of the story. :smile: I've never been one to spend much on cues for two reasons. 1. I have no interest in being a collector of fine art. Which is what I feel custom cues are. I enjoy looking at the...

Thanks ... that's good news! Alright all you Newburghers ... I'm coming. I'll take 10 -6 and the breaks for all the 10 dollar a set action you can handle. :thumbup:

Think I'm going to be staying in Newburgh Sat. 6-27 Anyone know about this pool room? Nice place to visit / play, or is there something better close to Route 300. thanks,

Nice shooting, very nice, straight, stroke I thought. Nice write up Dave. Im guilty of the same things you are many times, but the longer you play the game the more you realize the catch 22 of knowing that precision CB is necessary, is not realizing just how precision that means. An enjoyable...
