New avatar Zeeder? Cute, really cute!

I'm with Zeeder on this one. Skip is definitely my cuemaker.

Nice going Zeeder! Who's this Weston guy anyway? Lol!

ROTFLMFAO! Let the caca fly!

Will do Koop. Unfortunately they don't let me out in public much!

Yeah, Koop you're probably right on the money! He's a no BS kind of guy and I'm sure that he will take good care of you. P.S. I went to high school just outside of Boston. Was back there in March on business and caught up with an old buddy I hadn't seen for 38 years. We hit some balls and had...

Thought that I was making that point without truly "bashing anyone. But, you do bring up a good point. There are a lot of cuemakers out there, especially the older, more established, so-called "Master" cuemakers who believe that their way is the only way and the best way to build a cue. I've...

Thanks Eric, I was just trying to keep it a little civil.

Just love my two Skip Weston cues!

Just about any major city in Texas will do just fine. Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, will all provide all the action, great food, and nightlife you can handle.

Blud, with all due respect, I don't think that most reputable cuemakers don't care about how their cues hit. On the contrary, most that I have dealt with are fanatical about the hit of their cues and want the customer to be pleased with it. Many fine cuemakers use weight bolts. Many fine...

Zeeder - I saw that cue at Skip's shop last year and just fell in love with it. It was still in the early stages, sans wrap, but it was sweet. I really should have jumped on it right off.

Nice cue. Is the hit pretty stiff?

Great cues Fast! Pete's "old school" work is really excellent.

I like a very stiff, firm hit and a hard tip. The shafts on my cues are between 13.1 and 13.25mm, hard triangle tips on one and water buffalo on the other, pads on both. One has a 5/16 x 14 stainless steel joint, the other has 3/8 x 10 faux ivory joint. One is about 18.8 - 19.0 oz the steel...

I put the bumper of the cue on the floor and tilt it about 30 degrees, apply the chalk with a light brushing motion working from the center of the tip to the side while turning the cue with my bridge hand. I alway chalk with my grip hand, tilting the cue to avoid getting chalk on my grip hand...

Well, I suppose an "ad" is a bad thing, and I'm sure that would never happen here. And, I don't know much about cue thingys anyway. I've had Szamboti (Gus), Southwest (6), Omega DPK (3), Black, Kikel, Wes Hunter (3), Scruggs, Cognoscenti, Hercek, and some other mutt cues. Usually get them at...

Joe, please note that I chose to studiously ignore that. CD

I've played with 13.25 mm shafts for many years. For some reason they just feel more comfortable in my hand. Though I have played with 13 MM or a hair smaller and did not have any problems adjusting to them. I do prefer a very stiff, firm hit and think that the thicker shaft is more conducive...

Hot or Not? Personally, I really don't care what someone else thinks is "Hot" or not. I've had cues by Southwest, Cognoscenti, Black, Schuler, Wes Hunter, Kikel, Omega DPK, Scruggs, Schon, Szamboti (Gus), Dale Perry and probably several others that I can't remember right now. What I consider...
