Yeah, it was meant in jest. Unfortunately, I haven't seen the latest edition of the Blue Book yet so I can't say whether it's better or worse than the previous ones. There's obviously a lot of contraversy over the cue pricing, who was left out and the veracity of some of the contributors...

Good one! ROTFLMFAO!

Oh! That's funny! Can't wait to see how this little drama unfolds.

Please use it, with my compliments. And, please excuse my rant! I'm old, I'm cold and my knees hurt!

Jimbo of course!

No, I don't think I missed your point at all. Jimbo, here's the proverbial "bottom line"! 1. I like traditional four point cues. 2. I like Skip's traditional four point cues. 3. I like Skip's workmanship and the way that the two cues that I have play. 4. I like the way that Skip will work...

Oh, and by the way Jimbo, I can afford to buy a Black, Scruggs, or whatever, but, I can also afford not to!

Jim, think you're missing my point. First, you brought up the issue of the region that Szamboti and Balabushka worked in and suggested that I find a cuemaker from that area to build a cue in that style, and included Richard Black. Second, yes, I'm originally from New Jersey. But, that's not...

LOL...That's funny man!

First, I would not ask a cuemaker to copy a design from a Bushka or Boti, but I would not hesitate to have a cuemaker build one with those type of designs. Think it has been pretty evident from my previous posts that my favorite cuemaker is Skip Weston, from New Jersey, pretty close to where...

Not sure what it is, but, it is definitely not a Southwest! From the construction and style, could be a Tascarella I guess.

Wish I could have stayed for the finals, but, I had to work the next morning. Just remember that you were shooting lights out! That place, Galaxy Billiards, was a real trip. Had some great times there, saw some great pool. How do you like Kingman AZ? Went through there many years ago and...

Thankful for... Rude Dog, we met many years ago at a tournament in San Antonio at Galaxy billiards. Think you've got the right handle on things in your life. Friends, family and freedom are the "nuts" of life man!

I've got a nice Skip Weston cue for sale, PM with your e-mail address if you want details. Chris

What do you hate to see in a cue. Agree with most of the above, with the exception of Delrin butt caps. Think they look OK on most cues. Also, Abalone or mother of pearl inlays. Think they look OK too used sparingly in "Old School" designs ala Szamboti and Balabushka (sorry Jimbo). Can't...

Slow players You haven't seen slow until you've been through the "Dick Lane" experience!

Best advice "Look at the ball Alice!"

Best hitting cue 1 - Skip Weston, cocobolo into curly maple, 3/8 x 10 faux ivory joint, LBM ferrules with water buffalo tips. 2 - Skip Weston, ebony into birdseye, 5/16 x 14 piloted stainless steel joint, LBM ferrules, hard triangle tips. 3 - Omega DPK sneaky pete (#2), 3/8 x 11 linen pheolic...

I've probably had a half dozen of his cues and they have all been super. The playability is up there with the best of them and his workmanship is first rate.

I used the Magic Eraser a couple of times and it works very well, but does raise the grain a bit. I use a hardwood floor cleaner called "Bona" each time after I play and it does a great job. Just a couple of spritz's on a cotton cloth and it doesn't raise the grain.
