I look at bar tables as being the gateway drug to the game, same way that putt-putt and Top Golf are gateway drugs to golf. I think we need to figure out a way to get people in advancing from the gateway drug to the bigger tables.

Yes. Even used a super duty allen wrench and it still worked its way free.

If you don't want it, I'm in touch with a couple of his kids on social media and I'm sure they'd love to have it.

I have a cue on order so I ain't buying anything.

and I don't break THAT hard lol

Hell if I know. I never investigated beyond trying to tighten it more. I paid $100 for it so, if it was a more expensive brand I probably would have, but I just chalked it up to being a cheaper label and the quality stuff associated with that. I still have the cue in a case so I guess there's...

After much thinking, it would have to be the Players jump break cue I got about 12 years ago. Hit the rack just fine and jumped okay, but the damned weight bolt would never stay screwed in tightly. It reached a point that I carried an Allen wrench in my case because damn near every time i...

Plus, the added history that it was co-founded by the late comedian David Brenner.

I knew that I was living on the world planet in college when I was told I was too "preppy" for daring to wear a polo shirt tucked into shorts in the 1990s when.....this is how most people were dressing.

Fats' idea of "dressing down" was a banded waist short sleeve shirt, slacks and dress shoes.

You had specific outfits for the club when I was in my 20s. It's a total slobification of our society.

You forgot. "You don't need that cue when a Schmelke will work just fine."

I've long wanted to do a challenge where we set up a table with the same balls, cloth, rails and pocket sizes from back in the day and have professional players test it out with the type of cues used back then, both break cues and playing, with the same types, ferrules, break cue tips and shaft...

About six years ago, I'm at the local room in central PA and playing one of the regulars, an old gruff named Steve Gustafson who died during COVID (RIP). Had the white hair and the Wilford Brimley mustache and was dry wit. This Saturday night, we had a trio of guys come in from, based on the...

I mean that's 6-foot-5 so that is really tall.

Its the latter for sure.

Billiards Digest and Billiards Buzz are two separate publications, run by two different companies.

They're re-doing the website, a project that has been worked on behind the scenes for a few months.

Have the Stinger too and its low key a damn fine jump cue. On some days, I jump better with it than the Cuetec Avid Surge that I have.

There's a guy here in Harrisburg who slings his case over his shoulder with his cues in them every time he heads to the bathroom. He usually plays with a Nitti, Southwest or Scruggs so I don't exactly blame him.
