I thought the Seinfeld reference was better lol

I also summarized the conversation a bit. When I requested it to be 19oz he did say that is too heavy and it would be hard to draw the ball. He suggested I get something lighter and I asked if he could get it close to 19. He replied that he would need to find some heavier wood and may have to...

He quoted me a couple months for completion. I don't believe he has one already built, although I'm sure some of you were joking about that. I just think he's an older cuemaker who has strong beliefs about cue construction. I'm sure if I was persistent he would have made the cue to different...

I called and ordered a cue from Al Romero today and it was rather interesting so I thought I'd share. I call him up and say I want to order a plain Sneaky, he asked me what length and I say 58 inches, he says okay. I tell him I want a 13mm shaft and he says okay.Then he asks what weight and I...

I'm not sure or the value but I definitely wouldn't cut them up. They are worth more as is. I might be interested in one if you could post some pics and see if the community could verify their authenticity

OP has the right to advertise his product and his claim wasn't false. Also, what makes the product so lackluster and underwhelming? You just called him out on his statement now its time to back up yours.

Here's one I just picked up today, I believe it was made pre 2019.

Back in my day a sneaky pete was a plain house cue with a joint on it. Now days you got purple heart and steel joints and white butt caps. Its like people choose to identify their cue as a sneaky pete no matter what it looks like. And now they call them fancy sneaky Pete's and all kinds of...

Nice cue, shaft wood looks super high quality. I bet it has a real nice hit

So hilarious

I pick an object about 7-10 feet away and see how long I can stare at it without my eyes reverting to something else. I'd recommend starting with 1 minute. The trick is to try and relax while you're doing it. And yes, you are allowed to blink, you just can't move your line of sight from that...

No, I'm not talking about shafts. I'm referring to the butt of the cue. Personally I prefer a large butt diameter for a cue. I've noticed most modern cues have skinnier butts and I was wondering why that is. To me it's easier to grip a cue with a large butt. What advantages are there to a...

I will take #10 as well, these are very nice cases

I'll take #7, pm sent

It's true that Tim Scruggs was a machinist and it that's the reason he was hired to work for Joss. However, he learned how to build cues from Dan Janes

Yeah, but I can build a chair, it won't be fancy but if you are under 200lbs and sit on it there's a decent chance it won't break. That doesn't necessarily make me a furniture maker. Just because he built a few sticks doesn't make him a cuemaker imo.

An off topic story: Dan Janes who taught Tim Scruggs how to build cues said he was one of the most god awful players he saw. I guess you don't have to be a good player to make a great cue.

I thought about mentioning Sigel but it's a stretch to call him a cue maker. Did he even take any custom orders? If you do consider him a cuemaker then obviously he's number one.

I think the main reason items become valuable is nostalgia. When a generation becomes wealthy the items that were popular when they were young increase in value, then when that generation gets too old to use those items or pass away the value dramatically goes down. This applies to everything...

Earl Strickland all day, he's the best I've ever seen at the power draw and follow shot. He can even do a power draw shot while jumping the ball with a full length cue. Fedor probably has the most smooth and mechanically sound stroke. He does drop his elbow but that's not a big deal imo.
