Yeah man, I hear ya, but it's a pool hall, not a church ( depending on your point of view)

The best one is the one you want to watch over and over. Thus, The Hustler, and The Color of Money are my favorites. And they are the only 2 I own.

The smoke was so bad that I thought to myself, "I must be in a pool hall" or smoke heaven!

Unfortunately, The Helmstetter name does not seem to have the impact I thought it would after all these years. My own small collection does not seem to have the value I thought or hoped it would. You can get an appraisal from bluebookinc.com for that model #. It will cost you around 5 bucks. I...

Anybody out there who can produce a true replica "Color of Money" cue? The Joss N-7 is not the cue represented in the movie. The cue in the movie has a different veneer pattern and no MOP notched diamonds in forearm. The veneers are black/red/black/ maple into a birdseye forearm w/ short ebony...

If 3 threads on this subject have not lit a fire under Mr. Kennedy to resolve this issue, it clearly is not going to happen. Rep lost already. I suppose he's wishing it will just go away. If it were me, the second a thread was started, I would have resolved it. Then again, it should have been...

Still for sale. Original tip replaced with layered "Super Pro" red tip. Weight bolt removed for 19-20 inch balance point, shaft cleaned, tapered to 12.5 at the tip. Really plays well. With one original shaft. Original model # sticker removed since first post. Took away from the look too much...

200.00 shipped to conus w/ 1 original shaft. Surely worth the asking price for a name brand production cue. Since original post, shaft has been tapered and new tip installed. No playing time.

Mike Kennedy, In addition to my previous comments, I must say that after you realized you had "forgotten" to send them back 3+ weeks ago, there is now absolutely no excuse to have not done that yet, unless you are being purely vindictive about the whole thing. By the way, the deal that you...

Apologize for original post. Good luck!

yep!......

The cue everybody wants but doesn't know why.

Bingo! So Do I play better with one of my old Helmstetters. Richard Helmstetter, regardless of where his cues were made, has one of the best minds as it relates to physics, who has ever designed a cue, or for that matter, a golf club.

I've seen a ton more warped Meuccis than Players. As a matter of fact, I've NEVER picked up a used Meucci shaft that was not warped. Even the Bullseyes are prone to warpage. At least Players warranties theirs against it. If you ever find a used older Meucci with a straight shaft, keep it. It...

LOL. I basically said the same thing as you, only in a hundred more words!

Well, the reality is, that there are great playing cues that don't have the stellar names like Balabushka, or Szamboti. Sure we all love these classic designs, and have great respect for the history and craftsmanship. But owning one just to say we do, does not automatically make us a better...

225.00, shipped to CONUS w/ brand new, never chalked Players HXT shaft, along w/ original, new tip, cleaned, and tapered to between 12.5 and 12.75.

PM sent.....

Well, I have played with a Szamboti. These HXT shafts play as good as any I have tried, and I am not ashamed to say that or own one of the cues. I'm actually in the process of buying one. The HXT99

Here is what I have concluded/speculated based on all three threads and all Mike's responses. I believe they are in circulation already or have been loaned, sold, or otherwise no longer in his possession. What other possible REAL reason would there be not to have returned them long ago. One...
