I bought a lot of Mike's cases and when he started selling his cue he said this cue was special because the shaft had a Fiddle Back pattern. It is also the reason it has only one shaft, he didn't have any other shafts that would match it. I played with it one time and like most of my cues I...

This is the only It's George I have. I will call tomorrow.

I asked to join the group and it said my request to join is pending.

Thanks, I remember buying a cue from Craig and I thought this was the cue. I'll follow your recommendation.

This post was a follow up to my post that, Tight Pockets are Not Good for the Game. https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/tight-pockets-are-not-good-for-the-game.561520/

Related to giving up a spot regardless of the pocket size, I asked Hawaiian Brian, who ofter gave up big spots, about what happens when he gives up a spot that is too big. Brian said, If I play good and you play good, I win. If I play bad and you play bad, I win. If I play good and you play...

Everyone will miss more when the pockets are tight. If player one misses about 2% of his shots and player two misses about 4% of his shots and if the break and rolls are about equal player one will run over player two. While missing 4% of your shots instead of 2% of your opponent's shots...

After I learned to play the game at a decent level, I saw a old guy trying to play pool, it looked like he was just learning the game. I was shocked when one of the guys said, "He used to be a great player!". I decided that when I lost the ability to play I would quit, it happened just after I...

I was teasing the reader when I said I dumped my backer. I was the backer and Bill knew I would not take advantage of the "C" players. This was the best win I ever had because Joe was not a nice guy and a nit who would not hesitate to take advantage of the helpless.

Before I tell you about my match with Cuban Joe I have to tell you about the most successful $20 monthly 32 man, single elimination 9 Ball tournament from the early 1980s to the mid 1990s at the House of Billiards in Sherman Oaks California. The success was because Bill Duke handicapped the...

I apologize for not remembering the year but it happened in Los Angeles in the 1970s or early 1980s. I am not going to describe the shooting because the shooter was clearly guilty but the defense attorney was doing his best to discredit my testimony. After I described what I saw the defense...

Nolan Bushell founder of Atari said, “All the best games are easy to learn and difficult to master”. Tight pockets do the opposite, the tight pockets discourage new players. A real world example was the very successful House of Billiards in Santa Monica California. The front four Brunswick...

I bought this cue from Craig in Chicago in the 1980s. I thought I had two shafts but I can only find one shaft. Can anyone tell me if they have a similar design and if you do can you tell me when you bought it?

I think it was in the 1970s when small weekly local nine ball and eight ball tournaments became popular. One of the regulars said when he got home his wife asked, "How did you do?". He said, "I lost to the guy that won it". What he didn't tell his wife was he lost to the guy in the first...

I have a new Craig Petersen cue, I'll find it and sent a picture tomorrow.

I just noticed you are in Louisiana, I played pool at Lambert's in Baton Rouge when Flyboy was willing pay everyone that could bet at least $10k. I'm trying to contact a player named Shorty, if you know anyone that can help me please let me know.

I have an almost new It's George cue please see the picture of the shaft, it is has no dirt from chalk. If this is what you are looking for my number is two one three, two nine three 135O. Don

I just started playing pool in 1968 when the guys started talking about going to see the action in a different pool room. What surprised me was the guys said to come back at 1 AM and we would carpool out to the Billiard Palace in Bellflower California. If you know the traffic in Los Angeles...
