my mentor, the late Louie Roybal of Albuquerque, told me a million times, "whitey don't lie", he goes right where you shoot him. Meaning the cue ball is reacting to physics, not your wishes. I would line up a shot, Lou would say, "where do you want the cue ball to stop", I would point to...

the pool hall "I grew up in" the house racked the balls and collected the per game money. The way you "called" the guy to rack was to bang the butt of the cue on the floor, all house cues with NO butt plates or covers. The proprietor was Daskel Fox, Dak for short, so the call was "rack'em Dak".

cue butt is about the cue balance, diameter and joint type....and then all the fancy work that looks great but really doesn't effect the play.

They figure, and I don't say anything to wise them up, that I am planning on shipping it and need a net, prepacked weight. I also have a nearby UPS store and have used them too.

I weigh all my cues at the local post office. Sometimes you get a weird look, but I have never been refused, or charged.

could you just cut a finger off a cheap thin cotton glove, slide it over the cue shaft and use it??

my father in law was cremated with his artificial hip, his best friend took the titanium hip joint and made a putter out of it, with my FIL's knowledge and permission.

a bit more info.....older baseball players used heavier bats than are in use today, Ruth, Foxx, etal swung war clubs, but they weren't trying to hit 100 mph pitches bask then either. I'll go back to my corner now and observe.

both of my Schon's are 19 and I have a 18 break cue and a 25 ounce "thumper" made by Guido Orlandi for breaking and its also 2 inches shorter than normal. As a kid the local pool room had 4 snooker tables and an old pool table. I grew up playing much more snooker and used 12/13 ounce house...

I am just curious if any old players used a heavy cue.....23 ounces or so, or heavier. Or if there are any players today using a heavy playing cue. 19 seems to be the standard, with most within an ounce or 2 of that. Just an old guy sitting here wondering.

when I got into pool seriously at age 50 in the mid-1990s, I bought a couple cheap cues, then a Meucci which I think was about $300 or a bit less. Couple years later sold it and bought a Russ Espiritu stick for about $750 or so. Then in Vegas for BCA or VNEA I hit a slot for $2500 and...
