So I have a cue being shipped from Georgia by USPS to me in Florida. The cue is currently in Chicago. I should have got on my Harley and went to pick it up. The cue is on the road without me. Must be a great player.

Since my return I have noticed the Cue & Case Gallery is a bit quiet compared to what it used to be. I have made some comments, made some posts, and bumped some old cool threads. Frankly, it is slow. Got a cue to show off? Put it in the gallery. New, old, custom, production, it does not...

EDIT 7-3-2025: The solution to this matter is below in post #15 Some years ago I bought an Adam Rambow cue, R/A-7B (Rambow Leather). I got two shafts with it, then put it away. Both shafts fit the butt perfectly. As I was going through my collection recently I came across it. It caught...

Help me fix my case! I have a case that is nice, but some knucklehead cut the hooks off the lid part, I guess to get it open. It's not a Fellini case, but has the same lock. I do have a couple complete lock kits but prefer not to break one up for the part. If you have a case that's trashed...

Bought a cool Centennial case. Quick deal, no hitches. Quick shipping. Case as described and pictured. https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/centennial-cue-case-1-x-2.576597/

Bought an Ebony Dufferin. Great communication, smooth deal, fast ship. Included some extra goodies for me. https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/dufferin-canada-259-trade-4-cash-fire-sale-make-offer.568470/

The Dufferin Glider Joint is the 5/16x14 piloted pin that looks like a JP Speed joint, not threaded all the way down. The pin is screwed into an aluminum insert in the butt as we have seen in these forums, I have pics saved from Mike Webb's posts and others. I am unclear on something. If I...

The "Zen and the Art of Cue Maintenance" approach to cue care emphasizes a mindful, patient, and respectful relationship with your cue, similar to the philosophical themes explored in "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance". It involves understanding the nuances of cue care and treating it...

Back in the old days they typically played on larger tables with shorter cues. Figure that out. :rolleyes: But of course, carom games were more popular. I sometimes reflect on the idea that Reyes played carom for a few years before breaking into pool and ruling the world. While we are at...

Sorry for poor (and small) pictures. I was thinking maybe zebrawood in the forearm, but is butt sleeve the same? Any thoughts are appreciated.

OK- One post before I go to bed. True story, happened tonight. I watched this video about those conjoined twins many of you have seen in the media. LINK Immediately after that I checked eBay and saw this: LINK Does anybody have any idea what the heck is going on with that? SERIOUSLY?

I was very shocked to hear of the passing of the manager of my local pool hall today, Malcom Dodson. We were nearly the same age. I was told he went into the hospital some time ago with pneumonia, but they found some kind of underlying lung disease. I was told he needed a lung transplant. He...

This cue came from Illinois, other than that, I know nothing about it. 5/16x18 pin. Just a $30 find in nice condition. Could use the ferrule and shaft cleaned and a better tip but it's straight. Obviously not a Bud Weiser cue, but not a Szambushka either. I pulled the bumper and took a pic...

Just what I grabbed today to play with my daughter, including some recent pick-ups. The Cue & Case Gallery seems slower than I remember, so I figured what the heck. McDermott E-K1 (60 inch, is that rare?) (my daughter loves this cue, both the design and playing with it, 5/16x14 piloted)...

With the recent discussions about the market, cue sales, flippers, etc, I ran into this and thought people might want to kick it around. People are already bidding on it. How is this a Joss? Ebay Auction

Bought 2 cues. Old Gandy and a National. Great communication. Excellent details. Good pics. Honest. Helping to round out my Gandy/National collection!

Is acrylic crack repair something that is done or can be done in cue repair? You can imagine a crack in a ring or sleeve, maybe butt cap. Just a crack with no material missing. I was fascinated when I came across this video and immediately wondered if it had application in cue repair that...

Does anybody know anything about John Romanelli? I would love to keep his history alive and I find little by Google. Is he alive? Thank you for any info or leads. I am also looking for one of his cases in calfskin, as found in this 1969 ad.

I am looking for a John Romanelli Q Case (AKA: JR. Q Case) in calfskin leather. If you think you might have one, share pictures and let's talk about the fact you don't need it and I might want it. :) Also, do you know if he is still alive? He was from Toronto. His dad Frank Romanelli ran...

I have had a 1992 Espiritu cue for about 15 years that I had planned to send to Russ to have refinished and a second shaft made. I waited too long, and took a few years off. Now I found Russ retired and sold the business to his apprentice Justin Craig. So I Googled Justin Craig cues. Web...
