Please forgive me for asking in the main forum. I see there is a Snooker section on here, but I am not sure how busy that section is. Anyways, I am curious if anyone here might know any info about these cues. There is a 10 foot snooker table here in town, so I thought it would be cool to get...

Just out of curiosity, who is / was the greatest (most naturally talented, fearless, skilled) Junior player you ever seen? I know this has probably been discussed in the past. The guys from my era (who I knew of, and heard about, but some I never got to see) were guys like, Shane McMinn...

Do you think that playing 14.1 / Straight Pool can help a players game out at all? At least with Consistency? For example, if the player has not played in a long time, and wants to get back into playing, and hopefully get their old A game back? I always hated doing drills. Never had a Pre Shot...

Curious, do you ever get the feeling that the Fargo Rate of a player just does not seem right? Makes me wonder, lets say you have 2 650 Fargo rate players, who only ever competed locally, in the cities where they lived. Then, they eventually meet up, and play against each other in some big...

Please forgive me, I have never really followed Pro pool. I can only think of a few US Players who have won the US Open in recent years though. Not counting Fedor Gorst, or SVB, and not counting any other players who are not from the US, like the Euro players for example (who might now live in...

How cool would it be to get to play against a top Fargo rated Pro, in a short race 9 or 10 ball tournament? Seems pretty unbelievable to me, that it would even be worth their time, to compete in such a small tournament, for a top Pro. I am not even sure if an 800 Fargo player is a top pro...

Okay, this might be a really dumb question, so please try not to laugh too hard, lol, but if the Fargo rating system existed back in the 70's, 80's, and 90's, how many of those Legendary players do you think would have been an 800, if any? I have read a lot of the stories, but they are very...

Edit: I thought to ask Google AI about some type of product that might help with joint pin into the super tight threads, and they recommended Beeswax, so I had this Longoni Special Way laying around, and put some of that stuff all over the joint pin, after cleaning it the best that I could...

Long shot, but I am curious if anyone here might know who made this cue? If not, then I would still really appreciate any thoughts about the cue, based on these pictures. These are not my pics, but it looks really interesting to me. I love the BEM points, and the veneers, and the forearm...

Has anyone here used the original Bull Carbon - carbon fiber shaft? Please post your thoughts on the shaft? Did you feel like you needed a glove with the shaft? Or, did it feel very smooth without a glove? Did you feel that the shaft provided much power, compared to other premium brands...

Edit: Thanks a lot to "Cornerman" below, for letting me know that this Karella cue was probably built by KPS in Taiwan (maybe in the late 80's, he said), in Ernie Chen's pool cue factory. The same factory that built Falcon cues, I believe.

I was just thinking about White Label Joss cues, and from what I have seen, they have some really amazing shaft wood in them. For anyone who has ever played with a White Label Joss, from earth early 80's, you might understand what I am talking about. These are cues that when they do come...

I understand that this is a very long shot question, but those out there who might be into the Japanese Custom cue market, may know of HAMA cues, from Japan. HAMA cues builds a very unique type of Hybrid Carbon / Maple shaft, that I think looks very interesting. Here is an example of a HAMA...

This brand has really interested me for a long time, because it is just very mysterious, and there is no info to be found about it online, other then what is told by the sellers who have offered these cues up for sale, from time to time, and they do seem to be fairly rare. So, here what has...

Note: These are not my pictures, and they are not very clear. Help with thoughts about this unknown pool cue butt? I know the shaft is a Mezz, but just curious on thoughts about the butt. Just curious on thoughts about the butt. Love the Figured Segmented handle of it. I really like it a...

Please do not laugh at me for asking this, but have you ever attempted to play with a very warped pool cue, and did it bother you, and were you able to pot balls with it consistently? I have had this cue (which I received in the mail, from overseas) for a few weeks. The good news was that the...

DELETED.

Edit: I just remembered that the joint pin of early 70's Adam cue is completely different, so I do not think this is an Adam, unless it is a Helmstetter, and it was refinished, which would have removed the signature. I am curious if anyone here might know this cue? I am thinking that it might...

DELETED.

Just curious on any thoughts about this unknown pool cue? These are not my pictures, but hopefully they are decent enough for some opinions / thoughts about the cue. I really do not know what to think about it, other then it appears to come with a nice Laminated shaft, kind of like an original...
