The ONLY reason it would qualify as a 1 hole cue would be me not having the energy to make more than one ball in, you guessed it! One hole, before I had to sit down... So put THAT is yer pipe, Gramps... :cool:

It's gorgeous, Dean. He did *good* work. I have never seen a cue, "in the flesh", with the pin in the shaft ( except the 5.00 K-Mart specials from back in the day ). I'm REALLY happy to have this cue. I wish I'd met him.

I've heard a lot of scary stuff about him over the years. Consensus? MONSTER player.

His cues are beautiful. Great craftsmanship.

You should see this cue, Gar. It's booooooootiefulllll!

Yes... yes he was. So my *CUE* knows its multiplication tables! :grin:

Well, you can still get one. It's just a *tad* more than it was back then! :rotflmao1::rotflmao1::rotflmao1:

I give up... is that a table that knows its multiplication tables? :eek:

Dick Lane was one helluva player. No doubt about it. Probably *still* plays well but he has to be in his late 70, early 80s now.

I emailed him but when I was on his site, I saw he has a tab, "Burton Spain" and I opened it. It has EVERYTHING you would want to know about him! PERFECT!!! Thank you, sir. Moocho appreciated.

Thank you, sir. Hopefully he'll see this and pm me. Here's the cue. This is from the listing. I haven't taken any photos as yet.

That's what I hated as well and what this thread is about. Not people who can't help it ( tic or health, age, etc ) but guys who are stalling. And what drives me nuts is not them staring off into space ( and, yeah, been there, done that ) so much, but the ones who bend down to "line up the shot"...

My new cue just arrived, a ( fill in the year cause I dunno ) GORGEOUS Burton Spain Plain Jane, Bird's Eye nose, black ( smooth ) leather wrap, black joint, faux MoP sleeve. And MAN is it pretty. Wow. I know a bit about Mr. Spain but not tons. Anyone with info on him as either a blank-maker or...

I have tremors as well but only on the right side ( and, of course, I'm right-handed ). When I hit balls lefty, there's no tremors whatsoever. And the tremors only last so long... sometime 10 minutes, sometimes 30. No rhyme or reason to it. Happy to see you brutalized the kid in the...

If it's a tic, I can understand but still wouldn't play them ( unless it was a tourney ). What I HATE is when they're slow-playing ( deliberate ). Even sweating a match, tourney or action, is BRUTAL! :eek:

*Nobody* has any stories about getting stalled or slow-played? Or any stories about it at all even if you just saw it or heard it? Really???

Bought new, ordered from Joss, Gorgeous 16 Joss model 10-08, 18.5 oz, Hoppe ring, ebony sleeve, 4 ebony points with 4 diamond inlays, a lizard-print black leather wrap, 3 shafts 12mm, 12.5 mm and 12.75mm, joint protectors. 58". One shaft joint ring had several very small pits in it when I got...

Amen. :yeah:

No kidding, huh? Some things cause morally degenerate thoughts and there seems little or nothing we can do to prevent them. :grin:

I used to like when they toweled off their cue 3 or 4 times between shots. I would be thinking their 13mm shaft would be 12mm by the end of a few sets.
