    What is the greatest single achievement in sports?

    In a Super Bowl Yes. But nobody can out do the Houston Oilers. They were leading by 32 points at Halftime in a play-off game and lost.

    Vintage cues with labels

    The first two piece cue I owned was a Willie Hoppe like the one you have next to the one with the white ring. I bought it used when I was 17, about 1962, for $10.00 and played with it about six months and sold it for $8.00.

    More *unique* "first cue" post. $550 budget.

    Just remember that when you buy a new production cue, according to most people on this forum, it will only be worth a little more than half what you paid for it if you ever want to sell it and move up to a custom cue. I have bought a lot of cues on E-bay. I will say it got burned on one cue...

    Superior Cues

    I want to give a shout out to Martin Bick. I have a JD Cue made in 2011 that I bought used about eight months ago. The leather wrap was looking a little worst for ware. So I took it to my cue repairman to be replaced and when he pulled the wrap off we found that the channel was really deep. And...

    Tip thread. What is on your cue?

    Hay. I am glad he did this thread. It is really interesting. All the talk in the last six months about how good G2 tips are and only 3 votes. I voted Kamui because I am trying a Kamui Black Soft on my main playing cue now. But the jury is still out. I have Kamikaze Black Medium Tips on most of...

    OB Classic vs OB Classic Pro vs SS360

    No, you weren't to late. He didn't comprehend my first two posts very well. I have been jumped on for saying sometrhing is junk on this forum before. So I try not to do that anymore. I tried my Classic + shaft last night with the harder Kamui Soft tip on it and I still was not satisfied. So I...

    OB Classic vs OB Classic Pro vs SS360

    When you get your new shaft take the Tiger Everest tip off of it and install your Kamui SS tip on it and you will be surprised at the difference.

    OB Classic vs OB Classic Pro vs SS360

    I have a Kamui Black Soft on my Classic and I just had a Kamui Black Soft put on my Classic +. When my Classic shaft needs a new tip I will put a Kamui Black Super Soft on it. The Original Classic shafts have a lot more power when using follow and draw than the Classic + shafts. At least for me.

    OB Classic vs OB Classic Pro vs SS360

    One other thing to consider between the Classic and Classic +. My Classic weights 4 oz. My Classic + weights 3.6 oz. Makes a big difference in the balance of my cue. I don't like the Classic +. Also I don't like the big difference in the color of the pieces of wood they used in my shaft. I have...

    Magic Chalk :)

    I have a Kamui Black Soft on my playing cue. I never miscue because of the tip or chalk. I have been using Magic Chalk for almost two years. I originally bought two cubes to try. I bought six more. I still have five unused cubes. I have only used up 3/4 of one cube, of the three, that I carry in...

    Schmelke vs. Schon/Mezz/Joss, etc.

    Have you done a search on Adam cues, on this forum? I think you will find out your cue is a full splice cue, that is well thought of by the people on this forum that know them. For my money since you are used to a stainless steel joint, I would go on Ebay and buy the best used Schon I could...

    New shaft advice wanted

    The OB Classic shaft is a very stiff hard hitting shaft. I have a OB Classic XL that I have sanded down to 12.6 MM. I use it on 8ft and 9ft tables. I have a Kamui Blk Soft on it. I have the new OB Classic Plus shaft which is not nearly as stiff and hard hitting. I have taken it down to 12.5 MM...

    How to take care of exotic leather wraps?

    I use Kali Leather Life. It was recommended by my Boot repairman, for my Crocodile, Lizard and Ostridge boots. I can't imagine using an Automotive product on Exotic leather.
