A few months back, when I got back into paying pool (after a nearly 7-year absence), I was looking at buying a Meucci, which is what I played with way back in the day. Apparently, Meucci went WAY downhill, with serious quality-control issues, employees selling cues out of the back door, "factory...

I think tips are highly subjective; what works (and feels good) for one person, might be terrible for another. I find it interesting, however, that a lot of tips say "just as good as Moori Medium!" A lot of those tips are cheaper, price-wise, than the Moori, but obviously a lot of people like...

Put me down for one. :) I will PM you my shipping details. Great idea... Back on topic, I don't carry too much in my case. Other than my McDermott cue (plus 2 shafts), my J&J jump/break cue (plus 2 shafts), and a small and towel, I carry 2 pieces of chalk (one of which is one of those magnet...

I just can't seem to be post #26 or #42. :frown:

I'm not particularly fond of green, but man that's a nice cue. Wish it were done in turquoise or azurite instead. Eh...either way, too rich for my blood. :embarrassed2:

Damn....I was hoping to be post #26 (my lucky number), or post #42 (from The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy....gotta be a real geek to know what "42" means.) :o

I've been looking at getting a nice leather case, and that 2x4 is awfully sweet, but I just can't justify spending $600 on a case (much less an additional $200 for a butterfly case.) :sorry: I'm sure someone will buy it sooner or later, and really enjoy it.

Thanks Dave. I'm quoting myself only for clarity's sake, as there seems to be a discrepency between your first answer to me, and your last post. So, according to your last post, the uncalled secondary ball pocketed does NOT incur a +1, but stays down, thereby meaning no perfect 20 can be...

Good catch. The way I read it, rule #3 is only for the shot immediately following the break, thereafter you must play the cue ball where it lies. I believe that the original wording is merely ambiguous in that respect. I suppose one could allow the cue ball to move like that on any shot, but it...

Thanks for the answers, but it really hasn't answered my questions. :frown: Well, it sorta did. OK, let me ask this: I'm on shot #5. I call it in the corner pocket, and *make* it (thus it's legal, and I score +1), BUT, after pocketing the ball, the cue comes off the rail, hits another ball, and...

I'm a little confused. You say you "have no photos to post", but then say "email me, I'll send you some photos". :confused: Why not just post the photos instead if asking people to email you? :confused:

I posted this in the "other" thread linked above, but thought I'd ask it here as well. I hate to bump an old(er) thread, but I'm wanting to use this "Q Skill Challenge" as a practice. However, I noticed a discrepency in the scoring methods; particularly regarding the 10th shot, and need...

I posted this in the "other" thread (I'm so sick of 9-ball), but thought I'd ask it here as well. I hate to bump an old(er) thread, but I'm wanting to use this "Q Skill Challenge" as a practice. However, I noticed a discrepency in the scoring methods; particularly regarding the 10th shot, and...

LOL..."rare McDermott Ultimate Tip Tool"...:rotflmao1: I just bought an Ultimate Tip Tool and a refill pack of the sandpapers for $22 shipped from rackem, here on this forum. it's a great little tool, but not "rare" IMO.

odd, when I clicked the image links, I get the Imageshack code page. I had to copy the code then paste it into the address bar. So here they are, inline, to save anyone else the trouble: Nice looking cue.

huh...no answer on where they came from or how we can order a set for ourselves? :confused:

I've made the exact same comments myself, and gotten flamed for it. :rolleyes: Personally, I don't think iTrader is worth the pixels on the screen, but that's just me. :cool:

That IS a nice jump/break cue. Personally (and no offense intended), I'm not a fan of butterfly points, nor lighter-colored wood (just my preferences), but this is actually done well. I've been considering getting a better jump/break cue...and this is up there along the lines of something I'd...

Thanks! Those inlays definitely look like ivory to me, not holly. Wonder if there's any way to find out for sure...
