The secret to being right most of the time is to not talk about things you dont know about. This is my go to comment when people tell me i know a lot.

My parents live in a small northern community. Logging is one of the biggest industries. Loggers are know to quite rough, especially in northern Canada. Every small town has a few locals known to "acquire" equipment. And never enough evidence to prosecute, what you know and what you can...

Mezz is a solid cue and as mentioned, bamg for buck they out do other production brands. I really like the EC series for value. Simple and play great. The mezz CF shaft is also one that i prefer.

Right now i have my ebony/redwood lambros merry widow player, my lomax breaker with matching jump cue and a bunch of extra shafts. 5 slot qclaw, willard shaper/scuffer and taom chalk. Case is a Whitten 3/6 a nice dapple brown leather. The only reason i have a 5 slot qclaw is my wife use...

There is no best, there is only preference. A cf break shaft will transfer more power to the cue ball. I had a friend who went through cancer treatment and lost alot of muscle and had a weak break when he came back. Changing to a bk rush made a huge impact on his break at that time because he...

I would love to see that. Even here in my area which is full of dufferind i dont see green leafs often and all the ebony/maple i have seen i white leaf. I have ebony conversion being done right now, hopeful i will have it back by end of summer. I saw a Virgus conversion posted in the for...

I always enjoyed Coco's posts. We had a few chats through pms as well. Coco was a decent guy in my book. I miss his posts. For all the spellling and grammar nazis out there. Not everyone has the same oppurtunities for education. Debate the topic at hand, sure, but anytime i see someone start...

Old cues that remained straight usually means they remain straight unless severly abused. I prefer wood over the composite cues, and will pick up an old cue when i see them on the second hand market. I normally do a cue project or two a year, with different makers. Nothing wrong with CF or the...

I have to say, this well worded, almost poetic take. Totally agree.

It is a bit weird i find. Pool terminolgy can differ from area to area in Canada based on how strong a snooker community there is. There is definitely some overlap with terms, and some are completely different. i was actually thinking about this the other night, wondering if a pool terminlogy...

I try to price things fairly, and i make fair offers if they say accepting offers or dont specify firm. If they are over priced I ignore them. If somone lowballs, i also ignore them. Selling/buying things second hand is not my job or how i make my living. Either a fair transaction for both...

Because you were a good sport, sure ;) I have a few more in the collection, but these are the nicer ones. From left to right. (They all have shafts, i promise) 1. CAM (main player) 4point, rosewood into roasted maple 2. Lomax jumper, lomax breaker. Stablized Spalted maple handles. Main...

I work in IT, and refuse to be on "popular" social media. Just a few forum sites. So I agree there. But now you have to look at my dinner here. AAA Cherry smoked striploin, medium rare, seared over the fire grill to finish. So there.

I posted this site https://vintagecuesforyou.com/ a few years back. Owner was a member here way back when. It has a lot of information on brunswick company history. He use to restore cues as well for people but i think he only does it fprhimself these days.

I though you were going to stop at one pocket ..

Awesome. Throwing my name in the hat.

Another vote for drop pockets for all reasons mentioned. Gully's tend to have more issues especially when unmaintained. There are some GC's at mylocal hall that have burrs and damage balls, or they are off alignment and balls get stuck. Balls always seem dirtier. I avoid them unless it is...

If it was to clarify it would have been cool. It was a sharky move to jump up and say aggressively, loud and animated "you know blah blah blah" when i was already down. I am as easygoing as they get. For me to respond like that is out of character. He was being an ass. Looked good on him.
