    I know you're only doing this to get your "8-'spoons' of sugar' but maybe in helping you, I can get some sugar and "Hot-Chocolate." Excited

    Ferrule options?

    It's the whole weight issue that has me thinking. Up til now, it's always been about lightening up on the ferrule end as far as reducing deflection is concerned. The guy I talked to was trying to convince me it's more of a match between materials in the cue that makes the difference. Just...

    Ferrule Options?

    Wonder if somebody out there could give me a link or a good explanation or rundown on the different ferrule materials and their characteristics? Ran into a guy last night that swears my shafts would play better with a different ferrule "to match the intense density of your ebony butt and tight...

    What's your take on people that won't gamble?

    Have played it both ways When I was single, and played daily I always played for some amount of money, but even when I lost I always had money left in my pocket. That's the difference in amount of cushion a person may or may not have when being single and a pretty good player. Now that I'm...

    Any Problems If Using Snooker Fundamentals To Play Pool??

    When using the term "juice" I'm talking English and not power. I'm sorry if I've ruffled your feathers. I must admit that my "obsolete" statement about snooker comes from very limited exposure and experience. Only playing, and being ranked 7th on the admittingly small and short of talent...

    Any Problems If Using Snooker Fundamentals To Play Pool??

    I have often wondered however, that if the snooker form is considered to be superior (as many think) why is it that you don't see many pool players emulating snooker form? And, why don't you see any snooker players with the form of a pool player? My main question concerning the grip in...

    beautiful cue loaded with ivory

    This cue has "made in the Philippines" written all over it in my opinion. Audrick is one maker that comes to mind. dave

    One year since I purchased a table..

    I would have to agree with those that tell you that you need to get out and about and play others. Believe it or not, you can learn from not only players that play above your level, but as well as those that don't play at your level. There are so many little things about pool and what happens...

    I Am Sorry, But This Shit Is Funny

    Holy crap! When I lived in Japan, I had severl Lishan cues slip right through my fingers!! I would take them in on trades for around $30, and flip them for $40!! I can't believe I let all those treasures go for so little!!:eek: dave

    Why does it seem that I play better w a House Cue than my 2 own personal cue?

    I once had to spend about 4 months without my trustworthy player because of some modifications I had it sent away for. During this time, I was forced to play with my Gilbert 3-piece, which I might add is a great player. However, it was lighter and played very differently from my daily player...

    Hardest 2 or 3 ball runout situation

    This type of layout on any two balls always bothers me. I know it should be routine but the scratch in the side always bothers me. Even with ball in hand. dave http://CueTable.com/P/?@3HbRF3Iaxc3PEsF@

    Falcon or Fake?

    As far as I know, Falcon cues are no made in china anyway. So I would be willing to bet that you have a genuine Falcon. However, Falcons of today, and Falcons of years ago are two totally different breeds. Not trying to discredit your choice of cue, so don't take this in the wrong sense, but...

    Schon and the Pros?

    I know that when I was in Japan, most of the 2nd tier Philippino players that live there played with Schon butts and 314 shafts. It became somewhat of a boom. When I say 2nd tier Philippinos, I'm talking about guys that could play on the world level any day, but just don't have the paperwork...

    Pete Tonkin Bubinga Beauty 6 Points

    I would believe it. Truly under rated cuemaker. The stuff I've seen on his website were a little out there, but the cues he sends to Japan were all "Southish" as far as design. Nice crispy true hitters. dave

    Pete Tonkin Bubinga Beauty 6 Points

    Jun Shimizu from Japan was bringing Tonkins over and selling them as "PTs" and I got to hit with 10 or more of them, and they all played, hit, and sounded so great that I was suprised that I had never heard of them. Jun wouldn't tell anybody who the reall makers was, but after a bit of...
