If he doesn't take it, I will.

Gotta agree with Black-Balled here

If this falls through for any reason, I'll take it.

As a linguistics major, big fan of the 'ghoti' reference over here

I'm 6'2" and play with a 60" cue. And I have monkey arms with a 77" (6'5") wingspan.

I had the Tascarellas make me a 60" full splice cue. I like the way it plays, though you could argue it's a bit whippier than one of their 58" cues. Regardless, it's a good shooter. Took them a little under a year from placing my order, but that's because I used a blank he already had made. If I...

You read my mind. Those are my two favorite Schons, though I've only ever owned an R-1. Always wanted an R-6. The R-1 I had played just about as well as any cue I've owned.

Yeah it is for me too. I'm wondering if my newly purchased Pixel 2 is the problem, because I never had any issues with it on iPhone.

Interestingly, I've found basically every Tad I've hit with (I think I've had four) to play exactly the same. All were the 1-M model, birdseye plain janes with ringwork in the bottom. I've had two cues made by Pete Tascarella, and they do play very differently. But they're also physically very...

Diveney has the thinnest handle of any cue I've played with. Fantastic players as well. I think Southwest has a thin handle option on their customs, but I'm not sure how thin. Not to say you're going to be able to get a SW custom any time soon, but I'm sure there are plenty floating around out...

Looks like it's from after Richard built the cue but before he sent it out to the OP. OP acquired the cue in February, the post from Richard is in late January. The timing matches up fine.

I'll jump in. Thanks for paying it forward Charlie!

this has almost invariably been my experience. every new cue plays better than your current cue because you're paying such close attention to the way it plays and how it feels that making balls and playing position becomes secondary and automatic.

I've been a poor sport in the past and I think I'd have been better off if my friends had told me to cut that shit out. Instead, I had to learn to be a better sport myself. Took a little longer but I'm a much better loser now. For how terrible I was during that time, I'm surprised anybody wanted...

I used to be a bit of a cranky fella with an anger problem and I would regularly smack and throw my first Tascarella around. I'm lucky Pete's finish work is so good - I somehow barely was able to put a dent in that thing for all the abuse I gave it. I've since worked a few issues out in my life...

60" Szam? Sounds delicious

Just throwing this one out there to see if there's any interest. Would anybody like to trade a 60" Southwest for my 60" Tascarella?

Funny, the only time I've ever had the word chickenshit uttered in my direction was when I three-fouled an old timer at the local Monday 9-ball tournament. Like you, I took it as a compliment.

getting yelled at by my wife usually does the trick

I think I owned this guy's little brother at a point. Looked nearly identical but it was a 4 point. Great player and one of my favorite cues aesthetically I've ever owned - shouldn't have let it go. Loved that cue.
