I currently have a Hanshew - best I've ever used.

Terrible news for those people who had made their travel plans and taken time off work, etc. but not really a huge surprise. I interacted once with Vivian a few years ago on a business level - that was enough to make me never want to repeat the experience.

Matched up with him a couple of times over the years. Strong player and a nice man. Condolences to his friends and family.

I'm an amateur collector - probably have 30 in total - I play with the least expensive of them all - a Roger Allen Sneaky Pete that I bought used and had refinished and a linen wrap put on - unless the cue gets lost or stolen, I can honestly say I'll play with it and it alone until I give the...

It's my understanding that he passed earlier today due to his injuries. May God comfort his family in their hour of need and welcome him home as his time and watch here is done - thank you Officer Gentry for your service and sacrifice.

On big tables, I use the head ball break with quite a bit more speed than I do with the 2nd ball break. On a bar box, I'll use the 2nd ball break at about 75% of my normal speed with a little bit of inside english and a below center hit on the cue ball. I've had good results with that break...

A repaired Hoppe isn't a GB regardless of who did the repair and while it's good to know the possible backstory behind it and the seller's background, the seller could have shown a little more customer service relative to the cue and those interested in it - just my .02. I was sincerely...

I message'd the seller and indicated that I'd purchase it if he agreed to send it to Pete T. for verification and refund me 100% if it wasn't. He told me to get some "coaching" on what kind of cue this was and was generally a turd in his response. 100% fake - no question about it in my mind.

I've thought about hosting an event several times down here in Houston, a combination expo/cue show/pro tournament, but every time I run the numbers, I always come to the conclusion that the two most likely scenarios are a) make a little bit of profit or b) lose a great deal of money - the...

I put on large scale events in the oil and gas industry for a living so this is an interesting topic for me. In response: 1) In order to put one together, I would say that it would need to be more broad than just a pro tournament - maybe have the tournament with an expo and a couple of clinics...

Shaw's point was valid and SVB's rack should have been addressed - perhaps with a TD or someone with the ability to provide some guidance and influence. Shaw's reaction was out of line for a professional player though - just my .02.

Kennedy and Soquet are the two that spring immediately to my mind.

No excuse for not shaking a man's hand, regardless of the loss or circumstances. It's just simple respect. It's early in Day 1, but this looks like a landslide unless Team USA gets a hold of things and rights the ship.

The more I read on this and other forums lately, the more the circle of people that I want to either sell cues to or buy cues from goes down. Way too much weird and shady stuff going on these days.

Tell him to pound sand. He wanted a deal from you to start with, didn't honor the terms and now wants a different deal where he makes money on it? Nope.

Watched it in slow motion and it looks like a bad hit to me. It's the kind of hit you need a ref standing over to make the call in real time though.

For sale - One of the most striking JD cues that I've come across. Cue was manufactured in 2012 and I picked it up from the original owner. Since then I've hit maybe 20 balls with it - other than that it's been stored in a display case in my home. I'd rate the condition at 98 out of 100. I...

Really good book and interesting read - finished my copy this week!

To each their own, but I'd disagree with the negative assessment of 99CS. It was my bible for the first 2 years that I played pool and I got my 12 year old his own copy last year - he's learned a great deal from there. Everyone learns differently but there hasn't been a book that's done more for...

Bump to the top with new lower pricing. Looking to move these. Thanks!
