    Whats it cost to restore a brunswick like this?

    I believe this is a saratoga? Has a schaaf nameplate on it unfortunately. Interested in getting an old table but how many thousands of work would something like this be to just have the woodwork restored, not including rails and felt. TIA!

    Finally added an Adam to the collection

    I have found a decent assortment of production cues for super cheap at thrift stores and pawnshops, as low as 15 bucks for Vikings and McDermotts. Found this beauty for 75 bucks today, excellent condition, super solid feeling cue. It's an Ad-4, 20oz. The more I look at it the more I like it...

    Trying to identify this set of balls, unique font

    These came with a high end table I got recently, having it refelted with 860hr so trying to ID these to know if need to buy some phenolic balls or not. Have spent well over an hour scrolling images of various sets and using Google lens and haven't been able to identify them yet. Aramith crowns...

    Wife and I were out celebrating our anniversary with a nice brunch in the cities, decided to check out a nearby savers thrift store that recently opened opened in the area, walked in and I immediately noticed a rack with pool cues, and laughed at the terrible condition of them. Then the wife...

    Anyone recognize "HR" logo on McDermott cue?

    Just a pretty plain McDermott I picked up for cheap to use as a house cue, but I don't recognize the HR USA logo on the reverse side and didn't come up with anything in my searching. Found a small cue repair business that ads an "HR cues" logo but the font is definitely different, though pretty...

    Help identifying cue?

    I'm assuming it's just a production cue but it hits wonderfully and caught the eye of a cue builder that seemed to think it was quality work. Points look sharp, I'm guessing the inlays are some kind of resin, they don't look super clean but pretty decent. Linen wrap feels better than my other...

    Stories of triumph

    I have had a lot of different moments of triumph and while trying to improve my game, talking to others has helped. What are some moments of triumph you have experienced? A Nemesis overcome or some fabulous runs pulled from the void, what (so far) has been ''your moment"?

    Help identifying cue

    I've been playing with this cue for years now and finally came across a similar looking one that may help narrow down its origins. It looks similar to a model 20 Brunswick collendar balke cue, but obviously a modern conversion with some type of bone joint and butt. Any one know of a builder...

    Cyclops hyperion balls arrived today!

    Getting my table refelted with 860hr soon so decided I should get some quality balls finally. I read for hours on here about different sets and everyone's impressions. There is a lot of disagreement about skidding issues, some say aramith is worse some say cyclops was worse. When it came down to...

    Choosing a new/used table

    Went to Peter's billiards the other day to start shopping for a 7ft pool table (due to room size) and I wasnt super excited about anything I saw under 5k. Been looking at used tables from other dealers and finding some ok tables, but I want some opinions. I'm going for straight up best play for...

    Anyone know Wilfred Maestas?

    I just bought a cue case at a pawn shop in Albuquerque and it has a Derby city ID card for Wilfred Maestas and couple old pictures in it, one with a very young Mike Massey. Thought they might be something he'd like back, and I wonder if it was stolen being that it had some perosal stuff in it.

    Hows the scene in Albuquerque?

    this shot.....

    You've been a victim of this before, or at least close. Any successful way of shooting this? This happened to me recently after a safety, and I made the bank back to the right side corner pocket, but scratched the Q ball in the top left pocket( from the perspective of the picture). I've...

    vintage cue with lines inlaid in shaft?

    Sorry for the bad picture this is from the internet. The top cue is interesting to me. The joint appears to be a very early Adams, and maybe even the cue design, but the wrap and the shaft are both very unusual to me. It has the lines in it like a newer Viking shaft has done, but obviously not a...

    I finally did it

    For years my older brother (by 7 years) has been whooping my butt at pool. He's a strong B player, has won some tournaments, does money games a lot. Last time i went and played him in his room i was definitely closing in on him, but he had me for sure. That was easy 6 months ago. I've been...
