Howdy all! I just got the news that we here in the armpit of the midwest "Michigan" that we've been put on lockdown AGAIN. By governor Hitler, I mean whitmer. I havent shot a game of pool or heard the balls dropping into pockets or big breaks and those cute little miscue breaks and the chuckles...

You should %100 continue to gamble with him. Just change the rules, such as at least 3 balls must cross the kitchen line, and no more spotting him breaks or balls. Straight up mano y mano no favoritism. Then if he says no, you have every right to call him a chicken sh!t mutha fugga!

The discussion isnt about the killing of elephants, it's about the ivory that's already been legally purchased thru the correct channels and now being outlawed.

The only piloted joint I thought was even close to half way decent was a piloted radial pin, a Lambros cue I think. In my opinion, big pin cues are becoming more predominant. Look at how many up and comers and even established makers are using the modified 3/8x10 now! Again, my opinion, but a...

Hi maha, I am %100 pro elephant life! I'm referring to the ivory that was confiscated many decades ago and is considered legal for sale/pre ban. I hate the thought of a elephant getting hacked up for its teeth to make a ball or rod. Those poachers in africa that made the biggest dent in the...

Hi Geo, I have not used each of those materials and tip on the same cue. That's a good question! I think for me, I've become so used to the heavier side of the ivory ferrule that squirt/throw from it has just become part of my game. As far as the diminished part of my game, I have a very loose...

I have tried ivorin, ivorine III, elforyn, LBM, melamine, and paper based micarta. None had the same effect as ivory ferrules or joints for me. Thanks for responding garczar.

True it is old fashioned, but it does give a cue a distinct "hit" in my opinion. Thanks for replying mj.

True, but it doesnt mean I cant gripe about it! Thanks for chiming in bbb.

Ahhhh, I see. I misunderstood.

I know I certainly got scammed by a polished turd named Ryan Tart out of Georgia when I was sent a forearm warped cue that was supposed to be in a issue of billiards digest, which it wasn't. And I told him the trade was off cuz the cue was warped and long story short, he got a Dave Kikel, a John...

Howdy Bob, I'll start by saying I'm not arguing with you, and thank you for your posts and videos. You are a wealth of knowledge, but I must not be understanding the stalemate part. I would think that if Luong had hit the OB and left it safe on the 3rd attempt and Foldes fouled, Luong would be...

Well to "legally" possess ivory that has previously been confiscated from poachers or natural death. A person would've already had to go thru the correct protocol to get the legally confiscated ivory. Remember the whole Ivory Coast seizures from way back? The governing powers decided to set the...

Theres a video on Youtoob titled warped vs straight cue, and that guy rolls both cues, shoots with both cues and makes the same shots with both cues. But for sale or resale values, it will always be warped and worth 1/3 the original price!

That's one of my favorite things to hear. (You know if I'd hit that better it would've dropped!) I'm like, no shit?

I havent seen anyone use the 3 foul tack teek😏 in a very long time! I first saw it on the ESPN in a big tournament. But for sure, if your opponent fouls 3 consecutive times, you win. In 9 ball that is, and they honor the 3 foul rule. I tried it once in a league match, and they said that rule was...

If my life was on the line, I'd use a phone line and call for back up!! But since no one would show up, I'd use my Carmeli with a fresh scuffed tip.

Just curious if any of the cue makers and cue buyers think this latest ban of ivory products is dumb? I personally don't care for ivory inlays, but I do prefer ivory ferrules and joints, flat faced to be specific. I believe it was a cue seller put it in good terms. If the ivory is purchased thru...
