    Clear Ferrule Finally Installed

    Both of my Cynergy ferrules cracked and had to be replaced...they were over 7 years old, and the PVC material had gotten brittle and broke down, cracking laterally. On a whim, I had my cue guy use G10 for the new ferrules (no more soft plastic). I know that sounds crazy, but they actually work...

    Have you ever lost your cue?

    I broke down driving home from a bar one night with my Joss J15 in a hand-painted case in the trunk. I walked two miles in the dark to find an open gas station to call my room mate to come pick me up. By the time we went to my car to retrieve the cue, it and my sun roof were missing. They had...

    Why did Earl lose the Hong Kong Color of Money $100,000 match to Efren?

    Efren caught a gear at the end when he was 17 down and Earl started to go on tilt. It was a great come back and a great match.

    My New Billiard Room!

    I've got three Edward Norton movie posters, all signed by the actors depicted...Keeping the Faith, Rounders and Fight Club. I served with his first cousin, and got to spend some time with him in Naples, Italy when he was on location for the Italian Job. He's actually a really nice guy! I've...

    Moving this over the the correct thread: So, after 7 years of playing on my 9 foot Diamond Pro-Am (single slate) in my garage, I bought a new house big enough to bring it inside. The challenge was that the billiard room needs to be in the basement. :(. I called around and found a guy who would...

    Best Pool Player you saw alive, regardless.

    Earl (not) in his prime...first time was while he was practicing for his challenge match with Efren at Steinway's. He was moving the cue ball better than I've ever seen anyone move it. Few years later we played in the same tournament (I didn't last long enough to match up with him, but got...

    Fedor Gorst and the Viking Sponsorship

    I like the looks of the kit he's currently playing with...and as for SVB's cue, I sure do see a lot of them out around my area...kind of like the CueTec Pearl cue they had Earl endorse back in the day. I hated that cue, but saw them everywhere. I'm with you on the Whyte carbon shaft...too...

    Getting my first Custom pool cue made questions

    I've bought 4 custom cues over the last 30 years, two were designed by me, the other two were second-hand. The two I designed and had built one maker took 15% down on order and the other one something like 30%. Both delivered ahead of schedule (3-6 months). On some custom builds, the maker...
