All I've had some fun tinkering with Mike Bender over the past couple of years. Mike took on several projects for me: 1. authenticating a DPK I bought on here from Troy years ago, 2. building a cue David started but never finished when Omega closed, and 3. refinishing one of his cues, which is a...

Drawing from a previous post today, this seems like a timely topic. I have a handful of high price and maybe some would call them outrageously priced pool cues. The LA fires had me wondering how I should prove their value to my insurance company should anything happen to them. Side note, if you...

I have a unique Its George Case made from Shark skin and one of the accessory zippers is broken. Before I risked taking it to a generic luggage repair shop, I wondered if anyone had suggestions of who might handle a repair job like this? I'm in Dallas so anyone in the general area would be...

Looking for a Uniloc Revo WVP 11.8 ideally, and a few Mezz United Ignite shafts. PM what you have. Thank you, Ryan

Looking for two yellow or cream colored Micarta ferrules. Westinghouse would be great but are obviously tough to find, so I'll take what's available. Please PM me pricing. Thank you, Ryan

I've used Ben Tubbs for decades, but last couple of times he knicked one of the ferrules and got super glue on the shaft. I think he's losing his touch a bit. I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for where to go to get a tip replaced on both standard wood shafts and CF shafts in Dallas...

Hello all, I am having a shaft storage box built to hold 25-30 extra shafts. I've considered some various designs and decided the shafts will be stored in a vertical hanging position where the tip is not touching the base and the wood near the collar will be the primary point of contact between...

Sugartree 360 sold.... Big Ariel Carmeli made from John Davis Blank. I believe the woods are a figured ebony and Grenadillo with a ton of inlays. It's a gorgeous cue with light blue veneers. Cue is in like new condition. Price is $3,500. Pics are from Martin's post because his are better than...

I am posting two cues and an incomplete project cue built by DPK. I need to pay some medical bills for my daughter and these are hopefully some easy assets to move. Everything is fine, but no reason to dip into savings if I can sell some cues. Shipping amd PP fees on buyer. 1. This cue first...

All, have a question as to what protection may or may not be in place on a PayPal transaction with money sent to someone other than the seller. I've reached agreement on the price of a Revo shaft with a new member here. The member doesn't post or have any transaction history. He has sent...

PM me what you have. Thank you, Ryan

Moving this from main forum due to lack of input, wondering if the cuemakers may have some insight.... Hello, I've really enjoyed playing with my exceed and in particular like the wrap. I've tried a number of different linen wrapped cues and this is one of my favorites. It's not tacky, sticky...

Hello, I've really enjoyed playing with my exceed and in particular like the wrap. I've tried a number of different linen wrapped cues and this is one of my favorites. It's not tacky, sticky, or slick, just feels smooth and absorbs the sweat without getting damp. I'd like to have it recreated...

I've got a 7yr old and a 10yr old and have been trying to teach them about pool. I have a 9ft in our house that I play on regularly and they've started to ask about playing with me. This is great but I'm noticing that because they can't orient their bodies to the level of the table, they can't...

Looking for a Cortland Linen wrapped cue. Heard it feels amazing but tough to find. I like stiff playing cues and thinner butts if possible, but understand that may be even more difficult to find given the historical period of time Cortland was in use. Open to wide range of prices depending upon...

I've traveled the wrapless cue path and the leather wrap path, and I keep returning to a linen style wrap. It feels great in the hand and the sweat gets soaked up, but I've encountered different feels of linen wraps and I'm wondering who offers the best wrap? I recently bought a big DPK and the...

Looking for a cork wrapped cue under $1k. Let me know what you have. Thank you, Ryan

Hello, I took a plunge on the carbon fiber journey and bought several cues to test out. These are my last favorites but time to let them go. Only the Exceed is left. Wondered what the difference is between Mezz and Exceed? Now's your chance. It's nearly impossible to get an Exceed right now with...

Hello, I am looking for feedback as to who I should contact about preparing an LOA for a DPK cue and completion of another unfinished DPK cue. I've been in contact with Ed Young and Laurie and tried to contact Bender, but all these contacts have not been promising avenues. I am wondering if...
