Years ago an article came out in Billiards Digest about the pros and their cues. Comments were I can draw the cueball 15 percent farther with my SW. Several pros praised them. Prices shot up over night. Then there is the Kersenbrock effect. I believe him and Jerry worked together for a while. In...

Hi Jennifer. I will be shipping the new cue for the benefit sometime this week. It looks like UPS is the best way to ship. I will send to address in your email. Thanks, Roger Pettit

In reading your posts in the past, I believe you are fishing for a $50 or $100 sociable eight ball game. That would surely help you improve!

I have heard he has an important position working on the Alaska pipeline.

At least he didn't cut his finger and bleed all over the place!

Is she ever going to take it off?

I used Lincoln neutral shoe polish in the 80s. Now I never put any wax on the shafts I build. Shaft is sealed with sanding sealer then I burnish with an index card. Stroke with the grain until your hand gets too hot. Smooth as glass.

Another option is to have a cue builder reface the butt joint face between centers on a lathe. Makes the cue more playable.

If your cue is wrapped, the underwrap may be the problem. If cue is worth it, rebuilding is a possibility. I have seen some ugly wood in the underwrap, and it is not sealed completely with a wrap.

You can eliminate discoloration with a wide tip black marker. Wrap may look better than new.

Someone may read this 6 years from now to do a leather wrap. Reading it inspired me.

An afterthought. If your straightedge is wide you can rest razorblade on it for both sides of the seam. No way to miscut angles.

I use the tool rest on a craftsman wood lathe to cut the seam. If you have a 4 way tool post on a metal lathe, you can mount angle iron in it.

Seems like woof tickets should be listed in the Wanted/ For Sale section.

Working on a few 59" barcues for you Rod. I'll let you know.

I am under the impression these shafts have a lifetime warranty as long as they are not altered. Could be wrong, but worth looking into. Good luck.

I am in Seattle. Not many of his cues here. Only saw the one. I assume he is east coast.

It was different colors. Similar to Spectraply I use. Cue in great shape for its age.

Slipped my mind. Had one of your cues in my shop recently. Cocobolo with Ebony points. Just matched a Z shaft to the butt. I noticed your core. May be more stable than Keilwood. Nice finish and perfectly pressed linen. First cue of yours I have seen. Very impressive.
