Well, assuming all of that is true and EVERYONE was allowed to play a skill level lower, I would have to agree! It seems silly to have everyone play lower than they are rated. What is the point of that? Why not just have everyone play at their real handicap then? Were they just trying to...

Hey Tony, don't feel so bad! Considering the circumstances I am prepared to make you a great deal on this cue! I will give you a real good price! pm me for details. This deal is only for you, I don't want everyone else trying to outbid you on it. What some people will do, sheesh! I am...

Well, I was very upset too! I was so upset that I did not even oreder it! You can go ahead and send me my refund! pm me for my info! Just kidding, I am about to order my copy today! Jw

Yes I did see that auction. It is a crazy price so far, but there is still a lot of time left on it. I would buy as many as he had for that price! The cue I have is very nice. 4 ebony points into flame maple forearm with 4 veneers and notched ivory inlays in each. Nice sharp and even spliced...

Well, as the title says, I am trying to get in touch with Bob Zide. I have one of his cues, and I would like to get a refinish and rewrap done. I have tried some old phone numbers and never got through to anyone. If anyone knows him or knows how to get in contact with him let me know or...

Hey JB, I recently bought a talisman tribal 3x5 case in black. I was just wondering what your thoughts on them were? How would you rate them? I do respect that you take your trade very seriously. Jw

Well using an example of flipping coins as a random 50/50 event. If 9 ball is also a truly random game that is decided by just chance, why won't I get even money odds against Johnny Archer?:p Okay then, just 2-1 odds? still no? why not? I love the 8 ball players who like to say " aw, that is...

Some more thoughts on luck Okay, I still disagree that 9 ball is all luck or even mostly luck! I play a lot of nine ball. Yes, I have been on both sides of an unpredictable shot or outcome. I also say that I can find a similar situation on ANY cue game. My main point is that people love...

Some thoughts on luck This thread got me thinking a bit. As has already been said, "luck" is a part of every game/ sport/ event. Watch any major sporting event. I also think that "luck" gets far too much credit most of the time! Another poster already said it, but I will repeat it. If you...

I think it is the TD responisibilty, and in the tourneys best interest to attempt to have people play at their proper handicap. No, he should not to do extensive research on every player. He needs to demand the proof from the player. I mentioned this in my first post on this thread. The...

I have to agree, all those pieces fit. That is assuming the "facts" do not change again! I have a hard time thinking that they would just keep a cue under these circumstances though. Jw

Okay, I read your posts again. You say the cue has the mark of a famous cuemaker and that it was sent to that cuemaker. I have a hard time thinking that a very famous cuemaker who has his cue copied all the time is not involved on this forum. Okay, it was a FL cuemaker, oh wait, no it isn't...

I kind of don't get this! Okay is this a new form of gambling or something? Do you get odds on the cue being authentic before sending it off? I mean it seems a bit of a lopsided bet. On one hand, you get authentification, on the other you lose your cue! I mean the fact that a cue is sent for...

okay, I do not know anyone involved with this, but I have run and played many tournaments. I think the fault is with the administration though. A guy walks in and says he is a 3 and nobody questions it? This is a registered system, how does that happen? No proof was asked for or given? Just...

I love Jacoby cues. One of the producion names I recomended. Let me know what u have and how much. Jw

Thanks for the info, but I am pretty sure he is capped off at $500. He is stepping up from a cue costing $100 or less. So, it is already a good jump up to spend $500. I have already mentioned the value of buying a good custom cue as opposed to production. It would have to be under $500 ( or...

Yep, I agree! That is why I am posting this, just to check my gut. I think the cue for sale is priced very nicely. It is a good cue, with an extra shaft, and custom jp's in excellent condition for under $400. I think it is a good buy, and wanted to double check it. When I saw the BB list it at...

I am looking into helping a friend buy his first real cue. I was checking into a couple of used cues for him, and I pulled out my trusty blue book 3rd edition. Well, I used to reference this book everyday, and I remember thinking that a lot of the values were a bit on the low side or fairly...

yep. stays down. The opponent would then have otion to shoot from the position or give it back to the breaker. As long as no foul was comitted, the incoming player will have the choice of playing the shot in position or passing it back. As long as no foul occurs, everything else is incidental...
