It’s a great location, and the world’s greatest convenience store / gas station chain ( Buc’ee’s) is less than a mile. There is a restaurant within the parking lot of the hotel. I was only there for the pro 9-ball, but I didnt hear any conplaints on the scheduling.

What did the pin look like? Sort of bullet nosed, but the same diameter as the minor?

It’s not some kind of secret. Bull Carbon is a brand owned by Koda, which is owned by Wes and Jamie Bond. Wes was the former VP of Sales at Cue and Case Sales. Jamie is the daughter of Jim Lucas, founder and former owner Cue and Case Sales. Lucas is why Lucasi is called Lucasi. Cue and...

A Crayon has a conical taper at the working end to start, and it starts life often with a truncated tip. Often there is a step up in diameter at the base of the cone, and its diameter remains constant from there, holding a cylindrical shape. It would be incorrect to call the barrel or handle of...

I used to only play in sneakers (tennis shoes, trainers, whatever). I could never play in boots, dress shoes or flip flops. About 12 years ago, I was working on a project for a major shoe brand. They let us use their shoe designer softwear, so I designed a shoe with what I thought would be...

The Butcher!

Let’s see… I’ve had a similar fantasy for a few decades. If it ever happened to me, I would just assume the Universe was manifesting my fantasy into reality. I’d pay my $5 and ask if he happened to have a case inside the house, too. A few years ago, the local cue mechanic was terminally...

What is it and what state you in?

And Terry never made cues. Noel was the cuemaker when Terry owned the shop.

Literally just had a big Ray Schuler thread last week. I wrote an article on Schuler for InsidePOOL Magazine around 2005. My main player has been. Schuler since around 1999. I have three originals, one of which is signed by Cathy Schuler, an SLC from the Palatine shop when Terry owned it, and...

Ask Ryan Theewen. That’s what I would suggest given everything you’ve written.

Just to close this out, the Jacobys did in fact buy out Terry Trim, so Jacoby own Schuler Cue today.

Noel put one on for me!

Bob Owen Jeff Olney But I could add a couple more could be in my top 3 underrated like: Rick Howard Ryan Theewen Richard Hsu Teddy Harris Ned Morris

Go for it all. Add 7 oz. It has to be better.

For a little more clarity, at least a year before Ray passed, Noel Mendoza took over the cue making responsibilities. Terry Trim had already taken over the business for the most part, and Ray was allowed to relax and smoke a cigar all day. So when Ray passed, that’s when Noel started signing the...

I would add Dennis Dieckman to those two, but I agree that they were the most well known for making carom cues. All of them eventually made more pool cues than carom cues. And for sure, Ray’s carom offerings were popular globally, because carom was global compared to pool at the time. I...

He would have hated me. I probably have twelve or more non-Schuler shafts for my Schulers.

World 14.1 Champion and Runner-Up WPA World 9-ball (johnny archer) and probably in my top 3 Most Underrated Cuemaker of all time.
