Beautiful older Scruggs cue that seems to be pristine and realistically priced as well.

PayPal would have reimbursed him in full if he used it as a purchase and not send payment using Family & Friends. I use PP all the time. It’s never failed to reimburse me in full for damaged items, not as described or not delivered. I make it a point to use PP, especially on several hundred of...

I was surprised and excited after seeing how the joint protectors turned out for my last custom made by Bob Owen. It was a last minute request and I asked Bob to make a design that fit the design of my cue that he and I collaborated on its final design. I was hoping this would be my best design...

Gosh, anyone that has a Delta Elite rack doesn’t require a template. If the rack doesn’t produce a tight cluster of balls, then you had better have a table mechanic check your table it is still level because Delta Elite racks aren’t the cause.

I think the arrival of Digi Ball is going to furnish really helpful information that will be insightful and can be evidenced to track your progress, overall improvement & consistency. The player has to be open and receptive to utilize the data points.

The coaching observations were articulated into helpful, cohesive, cogent suggestions that were straightforward and easy to understand. Heck, you couldn’t expect more from him if he had been by your side as you performed the exercises. I enjoyed his assessment that seemed objective, supported by...

It sounds like you are a fan of stainless steel cue joints and good for you if you are. Everyone should play with what they either like, or believe, plays the best for them. There is no right or wrong when it comes to one’s opinion, just minority vs. majority. Unfortunately, sometimes opinions...

When there are more miles in your rear view mirror than remain to still be driven, your outlook about life changes. As you add mileage going down life’s highway, soon you start to wonder just how many more exits do you have left before yours. The morale is simple. Life can be shorter than we...

There, but for the grace of God, go I. May nothing but the best outcome be his and your destinies.

Since there isn’t any standard for how quickly the seller should ship and by what means, there is a lot of wiggle room for hindsight observations. A basic rule of sales is align your customer’s expectations before and after getting the sale. So a seller, in order to include shipping in the...

How does the buyer insure a delivery to themself that they do not originate, package, pay for or actually surrender the item to the carrier? The buyer may reimburse the seller for shipping cost or use a credit card or 3rd party, like PayPal, in case of fraud, damage or non-receipt, Nonetheless...

Yup……and all of the cues would have Cortland but I couldn’t find any for my last cue made and Bob didn’t have any. I could have waited but the ivory ban in CA was about to kick in so I was fighting the calendar deadline to receive the cue. Jerry R. was also building me a custom cue at the very...

The only caveat I'll offer is my experience contradicts what Richard wrote about cleaning a linen wrap but then again, my experience is with Cortland Linen wraps. I have 4 cues with Cortland liinen wraps and eventually, the wraps become almost slick like and shiny where I position my grip. So I...

Yes, this thread is definitely in the wrong section since there is nothing for sale that complies with this forum’s specific requirements for starting a new thread or posting on an existing one. It’s pretty black & white this thread is misposted. The mods will be moving it so for other readers...

Proficient Billiards…….a lot of folks will ditto this suggestion. Their workmanship is just top notch.

Melting ice caps and glaciers are a bigger threat to our environment. Just ask anyone living on Rhode Island since the early 80’s how much shoreline has been lost and realistically, there isn’t anything proposed to prevent this from happening.

Well, it’s obvious you’ve had to see a lot more sets of different pool ball designs than I have seen.

Anyone that owns a radial pin cue should consider getting one of Cory’s Roasted Maple Shafts (aka Kielwood). Unless you already are playing with a KW shaft you’ve fallen in love with, just get one of Cory’s shafts like I did. The 12.9mm size almost seems ideal since it’s a little thinner than...

I might be interested in one or perhaps even two….nothing fancy…engraved…Sierra Billiards & Bar. It would be worthwhile to try negotiating a deal with APA so you could offer some custom version APA engraved racks for die hard members with home tables. I’d offer to pay APA a 10% royalty on the...

All of the cues are nice but cues 1 & 2 have added appeal, IMO.
