    "Tribute" cues? Seriously?

    You couldn't be more wrong about this, brother. The only way someone in this example would be "arrested as forgers" is if they were actively trying to pass the work off as being from the original artist. Nobody is getting arrested for painting their own version of a Monet or da Vinci...c'mon.

    Need a new tip, which is best (of the big 3)

    I like Kamuis too, but I hear a lot of good things about ultraskins (and they are about half the price of Kamuis) if you wanted to go a less expensive route. I'm not rich by any means, but I just don't feel like $20 for a tip you prefer is that ridiculous considering how long they last. I...

    Possible new 314-3 Shaft??

    Yeah, they managed to make the Z3 and 314-3 4% and 3% lighter than their respective predecessors for a mere 50% price increase.:wink:

    What's your Pool Nickname?

    I guess my pool game isn't good/bad enough to warrant a nickname to this point, but while on the subject it reminded me of a story... I'm a pretty good golfer and in my younger days, I was in the Army and my Colonel used to pay for my entry fees to play on his scramble teams for tourneys. We...

    Switching Hands...... I Am Lost

    I'm with you OP. When I was in Basic Training, I had a Drill Sergeant who swore I was left eye dominant (I'm not BTW) and wanted to make a left handed shooter out of me. I couldn't even hold the rifle left handed. It was awful!

    For Sale: Like New 314-2 3/8 X 10

    This shaft is the "newest" used 314-2 shaft you will find. You see items described as only "test hit" or "only a few racks of play?" Well, I assure you that is the case for this shaft. It is a 29", 3/8 X 10, Predator 314-2 low deflection shaft with a Kamui clear black super soft tip...

    Scott Gracio I want my cue or money back now.

    Well, good news, Scott...Your post ensures that your busy schedule or life circumstances will never be impacted by having to build me (or anyone I ever come into contact with) a cue. And I only have a couple more questions for you: 1) You told Sam that he could either have his cue (when you...

    No disrespect ladies!!

    Little known bit of trivia on this subject... Mary Mastrantonio was not the girl originally cast to play Carmen in TCOM. Gina Mastrogiacomo was originally cast but had to be replaced (didn't have the "chops." Too young and inexperienced.) Most will remember Gina from her role as Ray Liotta's...

    Quck Poll ... what do you look at last CB or OB

    As previously mentioned, the firing gun analogy is a bad one. When firing a weapon (w/out optics) most teach to concentrate on the front sight post (not the target) until everything else is "blurry" in order to get the best results. So, this would be more in line with the theory of looking at...

    You suck, because?

    Hmmm...Introspection sometimes hurts my feelings. I think my biggest problem is getting "good" shape. I know just enough about position play to be dangerous to myself. I ALWAYS seem to get "half ball hooked" where I had the right idea and if I hadn't just bumped that one ball I thought I was...

    Do you think too much?

    I definitely think you can (I can) over think things. I think all of the information out there nowadays is a good thing, but it's also a case of diminishing returns. I'll give you my personal example... When I first started golfing, I was pretty bad, but I was addicted and read everything I...

    Aiming System

    Aiming systems. (What it's NOT...) - Riddles about how cue sports and golf are "the only 2 games where the ball is sitting still, and the player propels it with a stick!" (even though as another poster pointed out T-Ball and croquet would also qualify). - Arguing your self inflated golf...

    Whats a good custom cue for 9 ball?

    I have a custom Jimmie Pierce and I'm not sure what he does to those bowling alley shafts of his, but in the days immediately after I got it in the mail I was banging balls and messing around trying different shots and I set up a medium length shot with just a little cut on it so I could hit a...

    Losing turn after pocketing opponent's ball - love or hate?

    Stupid rule! Making your opponents ball should be its own penalty (i.e. "I just accidently made one of my opponents balls, therefore he has less balls on the table now and is ultimately closer to winning" = Isn't that kind of its own self critiquing experience? Why should a guy get an...
