Here are some pics of my early Joss West. This cue is in excellent lightly played condition. I believe the cue to be all original. One of my favorites!

Dean, I have surfed the forum for quite a while before I started to participate. When I saw some of your for sale threads, selling cues without pics, I thought to myself.....this guy is nuts!! Who is going to buy a cue blind. After seeing your reputation here on the forum and seeing some cues...

IMHO conceding a rack is ill advised at best. I have done it and will continue to do it but if you are trying to win its kind of silly. In certain circumstances, all of us have miscued, mis-stroked or followed the cue ball in on an easy shot, it happens and can happen in an important situation...

Thats one sharp cue!! Love Bobs work!! He is definitely on my short list. Problem my short list keeps on getting longer and longer :)

Pics dont do this cue justice. I actually had goosebumps when I saw it for the first time up close lol. There are so many talented folks out there...... I wish I could have a cue from each one of them!!!!

Thanks everyone for commenting! It plays as good as it looks. I hit balls with it for 45 min then put it away. I'm going to look for another (@SBE) that I feel comfortable using daily!!

I know this cue has been posted on AZ before, but it is new to me!!! Bill Schick is a brilliant talented individual. Thought I'd share!!

A top 5 list is so subjective. It would almost be easier to break down to top 5 in certain categories such as retired, active, pure players, full splice...... There is just so much talent! I would say for sure Schick, Hercek, Szamboti, Manzino, Haley, Tascarella, Balabushka, Mottey, JMW...

Enjoy!!! I too have a cue coming tomorrow!! Feels like Christmas every time they arrive!!! Monster Schick in flight :)

I own cues priced from $200 to $7000. I play them all at the pool halls. I try not to take high end to league very often. I love enjoying the differences in how they all hit. For competition, I have two go to cues. One is a bit stiffer than the other, depending on the game I am playing or how I...

Exactly this!!! I run a local handicapped 9-ball tournament. I spend all of my time focusing on the entrants. I also like to evaluate matches in effort to ensure everyone is at a fair rating. There are also folks that always feel they should be at a lower handicap. I would not want to create...

DBK (Dmitry Komarov) spliced his shafts. He also used Hornbeam for shaft wood. I know for sure his shafts played on the stiff side but effortless. Really good players!! Willie Blade shafts seem to be spliced higher up. I assume they are Hornbeam as well but not sure.

Love your quote!! I treat my gear really well and sometimes scratch my head wondering how I get the smallest ding on my shaft. I refuse to add to this by being rough. I too will continue to walk around the table to collect balls and such!!!

By far, the nicest James White I've ever seen!! GLWS !!

Loree Jon Billiards in Green Brook NJ. Incredible pool room for action. It was also where I grew up. Must have closed 20 years ago!!

Jim Vest makes a heck of a cue for reasonable $

Like many folks here, I own several cues and would love to try several more. BUT strictly from a playability perspective.... my DBK-Dmitry Komarov (RIP) is something special. I always seem to play well with it!!!

Well said Chopdoc! I like a firmer/more solid hit for one pocket. 9 ball I use something a bit more "whippy". I also have some older cues and collectible types I like to take out and enjoy just every once and a while. I know how each of my cues feel, so, it doesn't take me long to adjust when...

Received the Joss shaft today Mike! Quality as I expected. Cant wait to get to the pool room and hit some balls! Quality Seller/product!!!! Thanks!

That Purple Heart is Stellar!! Someone is going to be a happy player
