    cuesmith (Chris Hightower) inlay machine

    Advertising on behalf of a friend who does not have an AZ account. I will vouch for him in any sale. One year old Chris Hightower Inlay machine for sale. The sale includes the complete inlay machine, as well as 7 inlay plates/patterns (Originally $100 each). This unit was only used a...

    The Lizzard

    Nice guy, hope he comes through Colo Springs again. I liked his one pocket game.

    List of Living 200+ Runners

    Incredible, and they really are not 14.1 players. Maybe the bar need to be reset at 300. Impressive to say the least.

    Grudge Match - Columbus, Ohio August 20,21

    Gene is only putting up $500? This has got to be the cheapest way to advertise that I've ever seen. Plus he can get that back, and maybe more off of PPV? They used to be barking at each other for 5k, and now it's $500. This is pathetic. This whole thing stinks of a PR stunt to get more...

    was that TONY ZINZOLAS hand in my pocket?

    Disgusting. I'll add him to my list of cuemakers to avoid.

    Runde Cues

    Having hit with over 20, I've never played with a bad one. Like any cue, the "hit" will vary depending on joint type, ferrule, etc.... Overall, like others have said, they have a med stiff hit, with a pro-ish taper, but not too far back. The workmanship is top notch on all aspects of his...

    200+ Ball Run

    Big pockets or not, that is a terrific run and great accomplishment.

    Sloppy and incompetent work by Jim Pierce, poor customer service

    Good for you, hope your cue does not fall apart.

    Sloppy and incompetent work by Jim Pierce, poor customer service

    I'm well aware of Jim's reputation, not only through my own experience but also through the multiple PM's that I've received by other people that have been treated as I have. It's funny that this post has been revived since the cue has recently been sent off to a cuemaker to see if he could...

    WTB: Ernie Martinez Cues

    I'd probably let mine go for $560....it's seen some use since it was my player for several years. 4 points, no veneers, made around 1995 or so. 12.5 to 12.7 mm shafts. I have photo's on this site somewhere. Pernambuco forearm, with Madagascar rosewood points.

    Accu-Stats Makes it Happen for Straight Pool !!

    I'm sorta in the camp that a race to 75 is way too short. All of these guys can run 75 at the drop of a hat, particularly on new felt, clean balls etc.... It's like an equivalent to a race to 3 in 9 ball, which says almost nothing about who is better. I'll still probably buy the match, but...

    Jim Pierce update

    Sp 136

    Duke, Love your delivery. Great pace and nice soft touch at the table. I think you had very good table management. A few troubled areas, but overall your patterns where great. I'd love to know your high run, pm me if you prefer not disclose on forum. Doug S.

    Worst custom cue making experence ever!!

    JohnTravisTaylor is one of the Jim Pierce minions that firmly believes that Jim Pierce walks on water and everyone else is a liar and malcontent. As to the mailing of the cue, well, I'm still waiting for the $500 payment that Jim promised me....it's been over a year, but you know how slow...

    Worst custom cue making experence ever!!

    There is no such thing as common ground with Jim Pierce. I don't feel that he has any interest whatsoever in resolving this based on my experiance with him. Months of empty promises and repeated lies is all that I got from him....that and profanity laced emails and phone calls. Perhaps the...

    Worst custom cue making experence ever!!

    Your post should have had Jim Pierce in the title so that other people can be made aware of what kind of junk this person turns out. I knew that it was only a matter of time before someone else besides myself would post a similar story to mine. You should be sure to leave him a negative...

    Southwest Cues

    Having owned over 20 I love them....yet, for my game, I cannot get used to the shaft taper, particularly from their standard taper. Although great cues and very well made, they are not for everybody. I've handed the same SW to various people to "judge" the hit, and opinions have ranged from...

    Scott "The Shot" Smith

    Scott still lives in Colorado Springs and stops in occasionally at Antique billiards here. He sweated a match I had a couple of weeks ago. To my knowledge, he has retired from tournament direction....and does not seem to be interested in playing.

    I paid $2500 southwest cue that is warped !

    Trouble is...it doesn't seem to be fine now.

    I paid $2500 southwest cue that is warped !

    Simple solution....you both share the shipping cost and send the cue back. If the seller refuses to do that, then you can safely assume that he knew damn well the cue was warped and is trying to unload it. Unfortunately, there are many sellers on this site that are less than honorable when...
