    Cue builder didn't scam me

    I can't believe it! Called Pete Tascarella, he answered the phone, we spoke at length about ordering a cue, he said it would take 3 years and cost X. 2 years, 6 months later he called me again and said my cue was almost ready and he made sure my requested specs were still what I wanted. I...

    Tascarella's~~ my collection

    Pictures really don't do these cues justice. They all play phenomenally well. My current favorite us the one on the far right. Pete used extra magic in that one, including Balabushka parts.

    Who is the #1 most in demand cue maker in the world today?

    Who is the most in demand cuemaker right now? I would base this on who's cue is worth the most on the secondary market. Ie: 2 cuemakers make identical cues, say a 4 point 4 veneer basic cue, who's is worth the most and would sell the fastest at that price. I am going to go out on a limb and...

    :~: Tascarella Pair, Balabushka copies :~:

    These cues are many years in the making. About 8-9 years ago I purchased the acrylic rings that are now unobtainable. I sat on these rings until about 2 years ago when I sent them to the Tascarella's to see if they could incorporate them into a couple of cues. Pete Tascarella Sr was totally...

    My current cue collection

    I wish I were at the WCCS. Many of you have seen most of these before, but some cues are gone now and some new ones are added. The collection is an evolution, with some permanent keepers. I also made a short video where I mention the maker of each cue...

    What would you do if you received a cue with shafts thinner than advertised?

    Suppose a cue is advertised on AZB. It is listed as having two shafts at 12.5 and 12.7 mm. You receive the cue and the shafts look thin. You take out your caliper and they actually measure 12.0 and 12.3mm at the top of the ferrules and 11.9 and 12.03mm at 6 inches below the tip. Would you...

    G2 Tips

    I tried a G2 soft, and it felt like a marshmallow to me. Now I'm playing with a G2 medium and I love it. I would like to try a Hard next. For a point of reference, I used to play with LePro, then Moori Med, then Triangle, and now the G2. The G2 medium may be the best tip, I've tried to date...

    How do you use J/Ps? Whats your procedure?

    Do you prefer to put your J/Ps in your pocket or in your cue case when you are shooting? I go back and forth. First, you should know I use a top loading case (wave case) with the joints up. My procedure is I take my playing shaft out and lay it on the table, then my butt and lay on the table...

    Rare Purpleheart full splice Steel Joint Martinez w/ Szamboti style inlays

    This is a rare cue for an Ernie Martinez. First, Ernie is very allergic to Purple Heart wood, and has to wear Hazmat type protection to work with it. Second, Ernie has only made a few piloted steel joints. The joint is a true pilot and it gets tight when you get to the last few turns, just...

    Ernie Martinez's Personal Player

    I met up with Ernie today, he had some joints protectors for me. He sold me his old personal player. He made it in '06 and he said he really liked the way this one played because it has that satisfying ping sound. I'm going to test drive it tonight. Enjoy.

    Pool Nirvana

    I had one of those magical nights tonight playing pool. Felt Billiards in Colorado installed new Diamond Pro Ams yesterday, that were used in the US Open 10 ball recently. What a huge improvement over the equipment we were playing on before. The balls go where you hit 'em! You can even slow...
