Wow. You are the man. Thanks for all the info. Did Minnesota Fats have some type of business relationship with Viking during that time period?

Just curious, since I have a Viking rep here. Would you be able to provide any info on this cue (when it might have been made and model#)? It's one my father bought back in the 70's. Thanks for any help you might be able to give. http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=21268

I have an old Viking from the 70's, and I recently purchased a new one. I've always liked them, but I think they are maybe viewed by some as being a bit outdated because they've been around so long. People are always looking for the hot new thing. And Viking isn't it.

One of the best threads ever! Everything looks great.

A banger is someone who doesn't know there's more to playing pool than just shooting the easiest shot every time.

I sent you a PM.

I have an LGB8 model and it plays great. Looks great too. I really love the old school look. Of course, I only paid half price for mine, which was just a few hundred bucks when I got it about 10 years ago. Retail for my stick today would be $600 to $700. I definitely would not spend that much...

I recently switched to leather. Lately irish linen just feels too slick in my hands. I'm even thinking of trying a wrapless cue.

I agree with your disagreement that it might make him reluctant to spin the cue ball. But I have found that playing with regular size pool balls doesn't affect the kicking and banking that much. The main argument I can see against it is that certain shots that can be made fairly regularly on a...

You can use regular size pool balls on a snooker table. I've played lots of 9 ball on one. IMHO, it won't hurt your game a bit. In fact, it always seemed to help my game. It really got me in stroke fast. I would also suggest that you learn snooker. It's a great game!

I just got my cue back today from Jim Lee, and I wanted to post a quick thank you. He put a lizard wrap on it, and it looks fantastic. Great price and quick, professional work. Thanks Jim!

Welcome to the forum!

I've always found that the best way to overcome any sort of performance anxiety is to focus all of my attention on something outside of myself; on performing an interesting task. In pool, for example, you could focus your attention on your opponent. Do a scouting report on him. Watch what he is...

Thanks for the info!

I've been kicking around the idea of buying another cue (in the $300 price range), and I decided I may as well check out some custom cues. I know we have quite a few custom cue makers here on the site. So, what do you say guys, any of you got any sneaky pete or wrapless cues in that price range?

Yeah, I've heard that he used to make pretty decent money playing those pinball machines. All the poolrooms around here had them years ago.

So Bobby's on an accustats tape? I would love to see that. Anyone know about this tape? Who was he playing, and when was it?
