Elegant design and beautiful execution ... a wonderful combination. The cue really speaks of the era that inspired it. Great choice of materials too. Congrats on a special cue! Hope to see it in person someday.

Nice looking Titlist conversion. Love the traditional look and leather wrap. I have a similar Titlist conversion by Tommy Migliore (http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=219491), and it hits great. Plus, Tom does a nice job with his wraps, having picked up some tips from the late Paul...

kollegedave, Sounds like you're already a solid player. We're all trying to get better. Given the limitations you've described, here are some ideas: -- Watch the better players in your local room (even if you can't match up with them as often as you'd like); -- Travel in order to find...

Hi Rick, Saw my name on the list, but unfortunately cannot make it this year. Hopefully will be there next year. I know that Peter runs an excellent tournament, and I always enjoy playing in your great room. Will see you next time I'm in town. Please give my best to Cindy. Take care, Larry

Nice looking black Fellini case for sale on ebay. I've dealt with the seller, and he's a good guy. Time running out on this one. Here's the link...

Think it's great that you're focusing on buying American! My first cue many years ago was a Joss, and I still have it and it still hits great. Have had many offers over the years, but luckily never let it go. Joss was a smaller operation then, but I've played with the new models also...

Thank you, Frank, for starting this thread. What a thrill that Mr. Ray Martin posts on this forum. I got to sit with Mr. Martin at the BCA Hall of Fame award ceremony in 1997, the year Babe was inducted. Ray was kind enough to sign my copy of The 99 Critical Shots in Pool! Regarding Babe...

Beautiful pieces, Bill. Good luck with the sale! Babe's full name is Arthur Cranfield, Jr. His Dad, Arthur Cranfield, Sr., was well known in the sports world for training boxers and operating prominent poolrooms in the Bronx, NY and in Syracuse, NY. Babe was close to his Dad, who nurtured...

Nicely done, Charlie -- Congrats!!! And it was good (but not surprising) that Steve was there to support you in the finals. Larry

Hi Charlie & Steve -- Thank you for putting on the 2012 Challenge. It takes a lot of time and dedication, and the two of you -- and Heather -- have done a tremendous job and are big part of sustaining interest in straight pool. I sent Charlie a pm about doing my bit to support your great...

Update from Grady Mathews Glad to read that Mr. Mathews is continuing to get treatments and working to get better. How many times has he been at the table, looked it over, saw that there was a key to the rack or sequence that would keep him in line, and then continued his inning? Like...

Went to Danny's Clinic, and he did not disappoint. The format was Dan running through racks while explaining his decisions, how he was hitting the ball, and what he was trying to accomplish. He also answered questions along the way. Tony Robles mentioned to me that, during a prior clinic...

Fantastic post on so many levels! Thank you, Bob. Larry

As a relative newcomer to the 14.1 league, I can attest that Dan does a fantastic job. He also sometimes has a half-decent sense of humor and I hear he is a fair chess player. Looking forward to what Danny will be sharing with us at the clinic! Larry

This seems to be the best basis for a collection -- holding onto cues that have some personal meaning. Sorry to hear of your loss. When it's someone close, six years is a short time. I'm similar, so only have a few cues, but I've never sold one either! Still have my first custom cue (1978...

What a fantastic video! Thanks for the heads-up. The other day, I had a pool video on the tv and my wife recognized Grady's voice! She cannot name many pool players, but she said, "Isn't that Grady Mathews talking?" I guess she's gotten to know his commentary over the years just from...

Nice looking cue, especially like the blue veneers and tasteful wrap, plus a good playing weight, and, notably, made by an ACA Hall of Famer, Mr. Janes.

Congratulations, Steve! Excellent win. And best of luck the rest of the way through. Larry

Was just in the Philadelphia area, and played at Drexeline Billiards, in Drexel Hill, PA (http://www.drexelinebilliards.com/). This was Jimmy Caras' "home poolroom" at the end of his playing life. The equipment is in top shape. Lots of great billiards memorabilia, and Bob Maidhoff can tell...

Jesse, 1. Congratulations on the birth and baptism of your son! If you're semi-retired from pool now, it sounds like your priorities are in order. You'll have more time later, when he's older. 2. Thanks for the great story. That was a nice gesture, and seemed appreciated by all. When...
