    Pre selling 2 Jensen full splice Hoppe cues

    Bump for perhaps the stupidist bone headed "for sale" add I've ever encountered. WOW! YOU should give the cue maker some respect by not making him look like a fool for letting you post an add like that with his name mentioned in it. Eddie

    Will Chinese Cue production effect the Custom Cue Market in the near future or not?

    What do you think will be the fate of a company like Schon when the chiwanese manufacture about two million "schon" cues and dump em on shore in the US for $59.00 each? I doubt you will be able to discern the difference. Americans will damn sure buy the Walmart Schon for $59 instead of the...

    FS - X-ray your cue?

    I have access to an x-ray machine. I have x-rayed a few cues over the years to learn about contruction more than anything else. I was considering that there may be a very small market for that service. There are plenty of rare or collectable cue owners here. Would anybody here pay for the...

    Is billiards the toughest sport?

    I have seen the great ballcourt at Chichen Itza in the Yucatan. You misunderstand the Mayan culture. Human sacrafice wasn't always a part of the game (Pok-Ta-Pok) but when it was, it was the winners that were sacraficed to the Gods. They competed for this high honor of being sacrificed. They...

    Is billiards the toughest sport?

    I think putting alone is as difficult as billiards. Putting is still only 70-80% of the game of golf though. Then you still have the other 20-25% of the game of golf and you are going to need some serious fitness for that. I think it was Sports Illustrated that reported that T. Woods was pound...

    Is billiards the toughest sport?

    I was vacationing in the Dominican Republic during the World Cup once. I was one of a hand full of Americans in an area full of European tourists. I was sarcastically asked more than once why Americans are such bad athletes. In other words, why are Americans so bad at soccer? My answer was...

    Reno Spectator Attendance

    Reno IS a great event. I think that any potential sponsors considering billiards in the US have done their research and realize that the market cap is about 4. This is the reason they would rather advertise elsewhere. If the Reno event were televised live in the US any potential sponsor would be...

    Establishing the value of a cue

    If you look at one of those "Blue books" on pool cues, divide that number by two or three and you might be around the going rate. If the "Blue book" lists a value of $1000, you will likely end up at $300-$400 on ebay tops. Ebay sets the market these days. Eddie
