Just got these cues in today from Steve Klapp. The Palmer was completey restored by Steve's shop in Galesburg, IL. It looks better than new! The cue on the left is for my 9 year old son. And the fancy butterfly is for Dad.

Give Steve Klapp a call in Galesburg, IL. I couldn't have been any happier with the 2 cues I got for 2 of my 10 year old students. see pics http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=214651 I have another cue on the way for my 9 year old son. You will be surprised at what he sells the...

LOL, very clever :-) I guess the asthetics come down to whether you lean towards the Washington monument or Rodin.

If it were new vs. new then I'd go with the Diamond. But when I am thinking used GC vs new or used Diamond, then I would vote GC...because: Grew up playing on GC GCs seem to be better balanced, nothing too great & nothing too awful Asthetically superior...approaching iconic Lots of these...

Give Einstein Nine a try. The game is totally addictive. The main difference in playing E9 versus one-pocket is that you really have to watch out where you hit the lowest numbered ball. Cuebuddy took 10 years of playing and changing around the rules to come up with the current ruleset. There...

l use an abacus. My wife won't let me put up a scoring string (or clocks with billiard balls, or pictures of dogs playing cards for that matter) in our living room. Does anybody have any unusual methods of keeping score? Any electronic methods?

I am not going to read all 20 pages of this to see if someone has considered the Diamond rails to be the culprit (assuming this thread is still about balls skiddiing). In Freddy the Beard's DVD set, Freddy says never to hit the cue ball in the center as that can cause whitey to skid/skid more...

fwiw-TS/BI was not so great after they cut it in half, lost the good food and had the ink people running it. I was playing 3C the with a guy that could shoot some 3C (he ran a 6 on me) and he told me about a place called King Billiard on S. Havana just across the street from Bozarth Chevrolet...

Recently I inquired on AZ about getting some recommedations for where to buy a quality kid's cue. I have (2) 10 year old girl students who are passionate about the game and I wanted to get them nice cues to play with. One of the responses I received was from a gentleman named Steve Klapp...

I was pondering the new convertable Diamond 3c/pool table and the inherent compromise that the new owners will face it comes time to select their cloth. I am no engineer, but what if you could make cloth with magnetic properties that could change from fast to slow by changing the magnetic field...

Take any striped ball, e.g., the 11 ball will work fine, and wipe it off so that it is clean. Then set it up so number 11 is right in the center of the ball. Shoot your shot using the 11 as your cue ball. Look at the chalk mark on the ball and if you're not hitting the ball right in the center...

Does anyone know of any upcoming bank pool tournaments in Las Vegas? Thanks

It is not a Diamond vs. GC thing. It's more like would you take your Mercedes to Maaco for paint and body? Here was my story... http://home.comcast.net/~fd_colorado/gc4/gold_crown_4_story.html well worth any wait, IMHO

I need to buy a cue for a 10 year old girl. I am thinking that somewhere around 40" and as light as possible would be good. I have found house cues online at 36" and 42", but most seem to have 13mm ferrules and who knows how heavy they are. Does anyone know a source for a quality house/2 piece...

I thought they called that Snooker. :wink:

Yes, that sounds like the fellow. He did show me some shots whenever I seemed at a loss as to how to play something.

I went down to Denver last Sunday to play in a small 9-ball tourney. I was about 20 minutes late due to all of the returning weekenders clogging up I-70. So no go on the 9-ball. The room had one carom table. Now I'm not an accomplished carom player by any means, but I can run 2's a bunch with...

If there are any Cowboy players out there, I have a couple of rules ?'s that either aren't covered in the BCA rulebook or where I need some clarification. 1) Can a carom be scored by hitting the cue ball into 2 object balls (that are sitting next to each other) without driving the cue ball to a...

My 2 cents on the subject... Certainly an interesting question. As a 53 year old player, I have a few thoughts on older players: 1) Time is not your friend. As mentioned, eyes, backs, aches and pains all get progressively worse with age. Pain pills cloud thinking and it becomes much harder to...

I found these two 48" Mr. Billiards cues at a second hand store while on vacation a couple of weeks ago. They look to me like something from the 40' 0r 50's. A buddy thinks they might originally have been bumper pool cues and that they might make interesting jump cues. Probably the pricing...
