That's a pretty darn good price...

Well, it's an individual game for the most part

I don't know if it's a conspiracy perpetrated by tip manufacturers, but the abrasives in most all tip shapers is too rough, even for primary shaping. I have an Ultimate tool whose abrasives are not overly rough, but I still cut strips of 120 grit and put one on top of the abrasive so I have a...

My mom (Cebu) and wife (Mindanao) both spoke/speak Bisaya... I can kind of understand it, but mostly my eyes glaze as they try to teach me. My parents never taught us because they felt it would confuse us at school. Little did they know there was scholarship money to be had! I understand...

Freddie, pretty soon you'll be speaking Tagalog! Louie <-------- can't speak a word of Tagalog even though his parents were Filipinos...

Well, it's my name. Just without a space. Back in the early days in some forums anonymity was not allowed, and we had to use our real names. So I stuck with it. I understand in these times it may not be a desirable thing to do, but I do it because I won't post in a vail of secrecy. You can...

I'd agree with most everyone that collecting cues may not be the ticket to a fulfilling retirement, though there are successful dealers out there. That said, from my limited experience, the ones that seem to rise the most in value, percentage wise, are the ones that weren't made to be...

Well, it seems at least, someone has "pivoted" on their stance...:thumbup:

That's a horrible thing to say to your mother! ;) Of course we never mean it when we're small. But a more proper analogy would be, "I wish you were dead... so I could collect on your insurance policy!" Sure, we're all going to die, but we're all not going to profit monetarily from someone's...

I think that's overcomplicating things, and not how MY mind works, though if it works for some that's great too. Think of how a little kid learns. They are taught the "ghost ball." They aim what they think is the ghost ball, and miss. So they make slight adjustments until they pocket the...

Welcome back to 3D land!

Maybe an exception would be old Scruggs sneaky Petes. I bought one back around '95 for $145, and the dealer had 4 or 5 on hand. Now a beat up one goes for $500-600...

I started as a cabinetmaker's apprentice, and even had my own business a long while back. Currently my woodworking focus is on guitar building. On an acoustic, the top wood is about .100" thickness, and the bracing is only about 1/4" thickness by about 5/8" height. And this has to...

Well, if you don't miss, then don't fix what is not broken. Learn position play, basically keeping the CB on the correct side of the OB line that you can position yourself naturally for the next shot, and so on. Aiming systems are great, but they do NOT teach CB control. Find a copy of George...

Well, I suppose it's an attempt at a Ryder Cup style thing. In bowling it's the Weber Cup (for Dick Weber.) Maybe it should be the World Cup, like in Soccer, where it's different teams from each country, rather than US vs Europe. Back in the day the Ryder Cup was just US vs Great Britain, and...

Well, look at the previous Summer Olympics. The US pretty much obliterated the world, most notably swimming. If we didn't have some National pride then why even play the Mosconi Cup? Look what Phil had done overhauling the Ryder Cup team, how it's managed?

If you change your view by a half a degree the edge changes (actually an infinite amount between dead nuts and a half-degree); you're referencing off another part of the ball. With an OB in a 30 degree line (off the rail) to the pocket and a thick cut, it probably doesn't matter. 30 degrees to...

Does that coincide with the number of Southwest and Cognoscenti cues going to Taiwan?!:D

What is the combined FargoRate of the NA group as opposed to the Euros?

Well, that doesn't take into account that many foreigners live in the Philippines because it is as dirt cheap as it is dirt poor. It's very interesting to see bamboo homes with straw or tin roofs, and a computer at the window. But unlike some other countries, if you don't have money, they...
