I posted the wrong cue the first time. Here are the correct pictures. No idea what this is. I have no specs. Just pics. You can see the veneers are butted, not mitered. Any ideas?

If you have a 1x1 tube case I would love to see it! Post pics! They seem uncommon. These are two 1x1 cases I have. I know I have more but I am still going through cases to see what I have. These just happen to be two I took to the pool hall to carry cues today in addition to my usual 3x6...

Unknown or unidentified or unmarked cues can be a matter of controversy when posting and asking about them. If you think it's stupid or it pisses you off, you might find a more interesting thread to post in elsewhere. Up to you. Have you ever "taken a chance" on a cue? I mean, without asking...

Help me decide the wrap! Leave it as is, or do it in black? (EDIT 8-28-2025: The results of this adventure are posted here- LINK ) I don't know how to do a poll, so just respond in the linked thread. I can leave the wrap as it is, or do it in black. If you want to know what this is all...

Do you have any Russ Espiritu cues to show off? I have one that's in need of a refinish. It believe it went through hurricane Catrina because I grabbed it cheap from that region after the storm. As you can see the signature date is 4-92, so it's got some age. The wrap is trashed. The cue is...

I posted pics recently of my ebony Dufferin cues. After mulling it over, I thought to grab some group pictures of the Dufferin cues along with a couple Mali cues that are also ebony and maple. Curious to see what anybody else has in just ebony/maple spliced cues, no veneers. Please post pics...

I have been into ebony Dufferin Cues recently and picked up another one from a member here that just came a few days ago. That's the third one in the pics. Original butt conversion said to be Baxter, piloted 5/16x14 stainless collar, with short wrap added later possibly by Theewen, Jerry R...

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/

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...
