    What is in your pool kit? Like what do you carry when you just want to go play pool?

    table Imperial or Olhausen

    I have been looking at some tables on FB also. It amazes me that folks put an add on with one picture,no mention of the manf or the size even. I am not in a huge rush so I am sure I will find something eventually.

    Any predator 526 (le willie) series owners out there?

    Hi,seems like your thread got sidetracked a bit. I met a guy who had one a year or so ago . The cue played very solid,pretty much like all Predators. I have owned a few and liked them all. The fit and finish was very good,the inlays were very well done , Hope this helps . Chuck

    What is up with the wife ?

    I did check out the tables one night, 9 ft Imperials with tournament blue cloth of some kind. The pockets were fairly large but the biggest adjustment was with the cues. I have never seen cues like this,16 mm at least,none were very straight either . I should have taken a pic or two. Chuck

    My personal gripe list buying on forums, or eBay.

    I have often see a cue for sale and it is never removed from the cheapo box case it came with. Many times it is just someone asking "I found this in my aunties attic...what is it worth? "

    Speaking of jump cues, the big boy comes out Tuesday

    This makes me really appreciate my 30 yr old Lucasi jumper,remember those,autographed between the points by 4 HOF players with a uni lock joint.Hardly use it any since one pocket has become my game of choice.

The process took a couple of months and I am very happy.I have Randall carte Blanche to build it any way he thought best. Looks great and plays solid as most full splice cues do. A great guy...
