Ivory Joint According To Ernie Gutierrez: A few years ago I had the good fortune to visit Ernie Gutierrez, a cuemaker in North Hollywood, California, maker of "GINA CUE". Ernie was a great guy and took the time to show myself and my companion around his shop. I was so impressed with what I...

Keith's cue Jack & bev... Those cues are awesome. As soon as i get the IRS off my back, I'm going to ask Jack to make one to my specs and design. The warmest of regards to you both and thanks for all your help with my game. Cross Side Larry

Extend to four game finals I totally agree with you. Short rack banks finals should be in my opinion a race to five. Brumbach, Miller, Daulton are just too strong. Piggy, Truman, Greg, Marco are just as strong. Hell, there must be at leat 20 bank players at DCC annually that can bank five...

Add a few hundred and buy a Diamond pro with Diamond light. You will love it!

"GREAT POST" Watching Cliff Joyner in the action room at 2006 DCC was a perfect example of what you state... Interesting that you didn't mention Ronnie Allen. It is my understanding that Ronnie Allen re invented the one pocket strategy to be more offensive than defensive? None the less, your...

Well then, sell off the "dust collectors" Actually, I have considered doing just that. I also love my Madden cue and have asked Jack to make me a couple of heavier shafts for it. The two that came with it are 3.5 and 3.6 ounces respectively. My Sneaky pete Meuchi is 3.8 ounces. According...

Any advice? [QUOTE= Like i said, i want the best playing used table i can get for the money, and im trying to get out for a reasonable cost.....any advice? I have owned lots of tables and most recently have owned two Diamonds, a seven footer which I loved but traded up for a new Diamond Pro...

Titliest Blanks Good Question: I have often wondered about this myself since I hold the same belief as you, in that today's cues should and for the most part do play better than the older ones. In my own collection, I have a Gina, Jack Madden, Jim Busse, older Willie Hoppe, couple of meuchi...

Lee Trivino The fact is, it was a taped up Dr pepper bottle and he used the extended taped neck for leverage. He teed up each shot from tee to green. It was a sucker bet. Though I don't know this for a fact, it was related to me by a friend who claims he witnessed Lee do this with...

Blue Simonis I played the Derby City Classic this year and loved the blue cloth. When I returned home, I immediately had my nine foot Diamond pro reclothed with the DCC blue 860 Simonis cloth. I would never go back to green. Diamond recommends you use green chalk instead of blue. Your...

It's nice to see that he is competing again! I have known Jon Kucharo since he was a young teenager in Davenport, Iowa. While it is true, that Jon rose quickly, he fell quicker to the effects of alcohol. I am so very happy to hear that he is back on his game. Mark Wilson was his mentor and...

"Excuse me!!!" Did you say Hoppe didn't play pool? Allow me to finish his section on aiming (page 25...cont.), "both methods are satisfactory." Anyway, you will do this automatically and unconsciously. Speaking of wagering reminds me of a most humorous incident. Charlie Peterson and I were...

Diamond vs GC Do It!!! I have a Diamond Pro nine fooot w/ DCC 860 Simonis. I have top players from all around Phoenix come to play on it. You could not give me a GC after playing on a Diamond Pro.... Very tough table but very fair. It will make you a better player and when you get someone...

I believe that depends upon your definition of what entails the process of making a cue? If it is a start and stop process beginning with turning a blank butte on a lathe through the final finish coat, then it may be hard to find a woman cuemaker who does it all. However, many fine cuemakers...

There once was a great pool player named, "Wille Hoppe" and his skills remain legendary. In 1941, he published his first instructional book, entitled, "Billiards, As It Should Be Played" The following is ver batim from his section on aiming (page 25) : Select the spots on the object and cue...

Diamomd Table I have owned two Diamond Pro Tables: The first, a seven foot w/Simonis 860and a nine foot pro w/860 simonis. Without a doubt the best table out there for the serious player. I play strictly bank pool and when on occassion I get to play someone at their room on a GC, I feel like...
