Boys & girls... ...while eagerly wanting for my new Parris to arrive, last night I spoke with my mom who again asked "How many cues do you actually need..?!" So I was wondering the same, how many cues do people here "need"..? -- peer

My main cue is a custom Longoni. I also have a custom John Parris on its way. And then, of course, I have that ratty vintage Brunswick that Ryan Theewen (ratcues) modified so it'll take uni-loc shafts -- that's kind of custom too, right? ;^) -- peer

Just in case someone missed it -- a while back I got hold of a ratty vintage Brunswick for basically no nothing (a gift). The cue had some serious water damage, warped shaft, cracked aluminum joint, and hidden underneath its yellowing varnish & grime was the distinctive Brunswick logo... barely...

I'm in tears! What would life be without the Travis Trotters -- I guess a bit less entertaining. -- peer Here's an example of Trotter's articulate poetry: the shots i practice are the basic shots like the spot shots and bank shots rail shots any type of a shot that comes up in a game of...

Oh jeez -- as far as I can see, this 5-rail "safety" shot is more a fluke thing than I would ever go for. When I'm playing, I try to remember what my instructor told me as a kid, "simpler is better", hence, the fewer rails the better... and just look at how close this 5-rail shot gets to double...

A couple of years ago I sent out a request for a similar cue, and the cue-makers that I got a positive reply from were: Russ Espiritu Scott Zachow Dennis Searing Dale Perry Mike Capone Paul Mottey Kevin DeRoo John Parris Richard Chudy However, I ended up getting a custom Longoni. -- peer

I'm looking to buy a Z-shaft that will go on my XP-joint Longoni. Before I go ahead and order it from Europe, I wonder if anyone can beat $250..? -- peer
