Afternoon ladies and gents. After a 6 month wait, I received my new Meucci Hi-Pro 1, equipped with a 30" Meucci Carbon Pro shaft, 11.80mm tip, with a Kamui Black medium tip. I am well aware of how people feel about Meucci cues. Some love them, some hate them. There was a time where QC issues...

Good evening folks. I recently ordered a Rhino Eclipse II "Noir" cue, with a 11.8 carbon shaft. I was looking forward to posting a full review, but unfortunately I will not be able to. I will however give my first impressions of the cue and the reasons why I could not review it. I needed a cue...

Recently purchased JB Rugged Ultimate case, black, with orange stitching, zipper pulls and interior sleeve. Bought directly from JB's website. I have an older custom Dennis Swift leather case that has served me very well for almost 20 years and I have taken very good care of, but as I upgrade...

Good evening folks. I would like to try a carbon fiber shaft. I have been playing with Z2, an OB2 and a Schmelke Kielwood shaft. Last week I spoke to David and he offered me a slightly customized cue with a Ricochet carbon fiber shaft, at a super bang for the buck deal, which is somewhat...

Howdy folks. In my quest to become a decent player again after many years of not playing or competing, I find myself struggling with shotmaking. I used one of the old tricks, recorded myself practicing, and lo and behold, I am struggling with shotmaking mechanics. Everything from pre-shot...

Howdy. I am looking for a vintage Brunswick Willie Hoppe Professional cue, in decent shape, with its original case. I would consider a cue that is not perfect cosmetically, but functional and structurally sound. High condition would be a plus. I'd like to have one for my personal collection and...

Afternoon. My last cue post for today. Predator Sneaky Pete model SP4RJL. I purchased this cue in late 2011 as my main tournament cue. I found it on clearance at Seybert's for $339 if I remember correctly. I liked that it was fairly plain but had performance upgrades like the uni-loc joint...

Morning again. Mr. Dennis swift made this custom 3x4 case for me in late 2011. It is an "oversized envelope" style as I wanted a flap closure. It is made of a very nice medium brown colored leather and nicely tooled all around. The interior is finished in a nice plush material and I am fairly...

Good morning. This is my Mike Sima custom cue. I commisioned the cue in 2011, I took delivery of it in March of 2012 after I got back from an overseas tour of duty. After looking around custom cuemakers, I found his website and I was convinced that he was the man for the job. No gimmick...

Howdy folks. I figured I could start posting some of my equipment. I do not play much anymore, but I still enjoy my equipment. Will start with a Schmelke Sneaky Pete I ordered about a year ago when I was attempting to start playing regularly again. I wanted a simple, plain looking cue that was...
