I would be happy with a plain leather wrap, compared to a an exotic leather warp like lizard or snakeskin. The nicest cue that I've ever hit a ball with, was a Carolina Custom box cue and it had a plain leather wrap on it and boy it had such a sweet hit, but the wrap was also comfortable to...

I agree with Craig's initial post wholeheartedly, it really is down to personal preference, compared to hit, feel, style, etc :) Ebony is undoubtedly an all time classic wood choice for custom pool cues, it looks great, gives a cue stick a nice solid and smooth hit, and also it looks great with...

TAP TAP TAP That's what I was getting at with my initial reply, when I said that even if I had $5K for the entrance fee, I still wouldn't pay in the tournament :) If I had $5K, I would be going to the US Open, DCC or the BCA nationals in Vegas or some of the other big events like the Glass...

Hey Dave :), how ya doin buddy? :) I had been thinking of Holly originally, but I thought that it would be worth asking on here, just to gett a better scope of exactly what alternatives there are :) It looks like Holly is looking to be the best alternative for points and inlays, but I'm...

I don't know how many players are signed/unsigned to play as I haven't been following any details of this tournament at all :) I will say though that $5K is still quite a big chunk of bankroll to be handing over for an entrance fee, and I know that even if I had $5K, I wouldn't be paying it to...

Thanks guys :), I really appreciate it alot :) Mr H, is there any word back on the details I sent you the other day? :) Willie

Hey Fatboy :) You could upload the pics you have of the SW for free on www.photobucket.com and all you need to do is if you've not got an account, quick register, upload and then it's just a case of copy and paste the link for each image once the image(s) is/are uploaded :) Willie P.S. the...

Guys, can you please just agree to disagree? :) I prefer Full rack games, all around tournaments where there's more than one discipline like the DCC, etc, where there's more than 1 discipline being played as it keeps pool interesting and enjoyable to play or watch, since each discipline having...

That's a sweet piece of inlay work :), thanks CC for posting the pics, I appreciate it buddy :) Willie

Hey Guys :) I was wondering what you guys think are the best alternatives are for Ivory, as reguards for cue components like, Joint Collars, ferrules, points, other inlays, etc? :) I had been considering about ivory before, but the cost and the new US Customs laws on ivory products, puts me...

I think if anything, Efren is showing his respect for Kunihiko Takahashi, as a competitor, by being determined to give as few oppertunities to Kunihiko as possible, whilst at the same time wanting to win the match to make it to the next round :) Efren is simply a once in a lifetime player, as...

There are many people that are too judgemental of Ronnie's actions, especially those who don't understand what it's like to have depression which is something that has plagued Ronnie for a good number of years. I have had the good fortune to meet Ronnie, when he came over to Northern Ireland...

Thanks Mully, I appreciate it buddy :) I'm pretty much at the stage of looking around to see what's going to be the best option, but at this rate, I'm gonnas wind up either having the cue made in the Philippines, OR that I'll not bother with the custom design I have and just go for another cue...

Hey guys :) Thank you all for your replies so far, I really appreciate it alot :) I've e-mailed Viking Cues earlier in the week, but haven't recieved any reply, and so they won't be getting any buisness from me :) I'll keep looking around at the moment and see how it goes :) Thank you all...

I appreciate all styles of play, so long as they don't take a month to take their shot :) lol IMO, there are many ways to shoot good straight pool and it all depends on how the table is playing :), I find that if a table is playing a bit slower, then I'll go into the rack a little heaverier, if...

Has anyone tried "Royal Oak" cue tips, (Also made by Tweeten Fibre Co. that makes the Triangle, Elkmaster and Cyclone tips, as well as Master & Triangle billiard chalk) they seem to be a M/S tip and shoot pretty nicely :) I haven't tried Triangle tips yet, but I probably will give them a try...

Hold the make-up, having the make up girl to escort me to the chair would be good enough for me :) lol, does that get me a little discount? :p :D lol Willie

2007 World English Billiards Final, played in Singapore :) Part 1 (The rest can be found as you go along, with look in the list of related videos or the youtube member's profile list of videos :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEF_lp66G5k a 100 break (high run) by Walter Lindrum...

Nice little idea :) There is another plus side to this rack and that is, it allows a player/room owner with their own table(s) to be more precise in marking out the rack area, which essential for guys like myself who shoot alot of straight pool or for any local straigh pool leagues that are...

Lmao @ you guys :) lol Does the live TV finals include having to go through all that stage make-up malarky as well :p :D lol Willie
