Mike Johnson (Jensen Cues) made some "Danny Jones" sneaky pete type cues 15-20 years ago. They were signed by Danny and were limited in quantity. Each cue signed as a 1 of 100 or some limited quantity. Ha a nice looking Hoppe ring butt cap. Anyone see these around anymore?

For a couple years Vernon was on our BCA pool team, approx 2007. This was shortly before a stroke paralyzed his left side and confined him to a wheel chair. Hard to imagine I know. Vernon Elliott on a pool team, lol. Of course his hustling days were behind him and he really had fun. Always...

Yes, good prop shot. Mr. Jewett some years back you contacted me wanting to speak to Vernon Elliott's about his crazy cross side rail shot. Vernon, a friend of mine, wasn't one to give up his "secret" prop shots and y'all didn't talk, lol. You figured it out but even you admitted it was one...

Re:Scott Lee Interesting? Some while back I had scheduled some guidance from Scott. He asked me to demonstrate how I held my cue, stance, follow thru, etc. Whereupon, he looked perplexed, squirmed a little, asked me if I knew of a game called Bocce.....then left. What's Bocce? Of course I'm...

Danny and Gabe's match was remarkable in every way. They and all who contributed are much appreciated by those of us who enjoy the game of one pocket. However, it is important to make reasonable comments with hope and anticipation for future contests. Handicaps are worthy of mentioning when...

Supposedly Shane and Danny Smith have a scheduled match in February. Anyone have current info on that event?

What do you mean "especially if I got laid", lol? That would be an incentive for all us to bet. Certainly Dennis and Alex would be at the top of any list and Danny will be among the top players deserving to be included in the discussion. Efren, the greatest, would be hard put to win a...

Respectfully disagree with your opinion on an earlier Gabe vs Danny. However, time will tell about Orcullo or Pagulayan I think/hope because Danny has earned the chance/right to match up with them. They would be favored to win I think but doubtful they would offer a ball or two due to Danny...

Danny vs Gabe Anyone know what the score would be if they were playing even?

Tips Like many others I try nearly all the new gadgets that come onto the marketplace. How else you gonna have an opinion? I have the Searing tip on three or more shafts and like them. Good feedback, hold chalk adequately, retain their shape, and need little maintenance. But sooner or later...

Re:Predator Roadline Never owned a Roadline cue but they look (in pictures) very well made...by whoever makes them. Appears similar/equal to Mezz maybe. Have owned and still have many custom and mass produced cues and found little difference either way among the top echelon of any with...

True, but nothing anywhere is off the wall, so to speak in anything. As an owner of 5 different motorcycle dealerships I actively sponsored many racers over the years. Some wanted Michelin tires, some Dunlops, or different shocks, grips, etc. Mostly they got what suited them best but at the...

Dennis and Tony's cues The picture of the players cues was a thoughtful and, IMO, a noteworthy thing to to do. Has to be good for promoting pool and prompting purchasing of all items associated with playing pool. More money generated within the industry is a good thing. Anyone knowledgeable...

Cue extension? Being a gadget person I generally buy some of all the wonder gadgets that will improve my game. Think it's good for support of the pool industry but not one has improved my game. Only practice and dedication will do that IMO. I have most of the commercial extensions and...

D series McDermotts Have several D series I bought new in the 80's including all the D series Harley cues. Some I ordered with SS joints, cork, leather and linen wraps. All are "new" and still in plastic. A couple others I play with in addition to the customs I bought. IMO no cue I own...

Thanks for all the replys. Now......it's off to McDermott, lol.

Clear coat on older McDermott cue is cracked. What is the recommended way to remove clear coat. Don't have spray gun so what is suggested way to apply new clear coat.

You're asking a question that is, as you alluded to, subjective. However, in this case almost purely subjective Ie, which color is aesthetically most appealing. Only a shrink could answer that and one that is purely an amateur pool player since no professional player cares about it a measure...

Cuetec R360 Cuetec with the R360 shaft will equal the quality and playability of any cue available today IMO. Artistically it may be viewed as lacking.

Influential player Vernon Elliott. Emphasized simplicity.
