I want it to be vintage with patina so it (at least loosely) looks like the rest of the set.

Very sorry to hear of the loss of your fine friend John. May he rest in gentle peace forever. Will Prout

Yep, they’re still going strong. Joss Treadway’s cue shop is a block away, took over from Jim Buss. Will Prout

OK, here’s my problem: Several years ago (8-10), I bought an antique set of small (1 3/8”) clay snooker balls. Rare enough, wanted to display on a small 1934 Billiardette pool table I have. The set was missing the brown ball, so I thought I would just find/buy one. .........nope, still...

Rhoda and I used to eat at Rigazzi’s Italian restaurant on the Hill, would be there 1-2 times a year. Used to swing by, grabbed Jim Buss when he lived there. He liked the place. We haven’t been there for a dozen years or more, kinda fell out of going. May not even be the same anymore. In...

Nice video, thanks for posting. BTW, there is still quite a bit of blues played here in Kansas City. Some of the clubs, like The Phoenix, are going strong. At least until coronavirus visited us all. Will Prout

Richly deserved!

Beautiful caps, both of them. Tad (and Fred) are amazing for sure, but you really do take their cues to next level. Will Prout

A few other Alton Takata cue caps......all for Tad cues

Hi All, When I received the 3-piece cap set from Alton Takata a day or two ago, I was excited to place the caps on the Tad cue. Simply amazing! The cue caps are a wonderful capstone to the cue. I have acquired well over a dozen custom cap sets from Alton in the past 15+ years, and I swear...
