I received my new cue a few weeks ago and I haven't had a chance to take better pics. Sorry. My friend and I both bought these cues from a new local cue maker who has asked, for now, not to be named. These cues are amazing IMO. What say you AZB? For the record mine is the 8 pointer with ebony...

Here are some pics of mine and a buddies cues made by a local cue maker who has asked not to be named just yet. Don't worry you will know who he is soon enough! Cues hit amazing and the craftsmanship is excellent! Mine is the top one which is 8 points ebony with blue veneers and a reverse cut...

Just thought to thow this out there....what types of records do you have in your local charters for 8 ball? Wins percentage? Plus/minus? ERO's? LOL ERO's against? Whatever! I would like to see what other leagues have as a guage for ours. Thanks.

I will try and keep this short and to the point.I would like to hear some opinions from around the pool world with regards to some BS we are dealing with in our local league. We have several different divisions to cater to all levels. At the highest level we have what is called our "Super...

Here is the finals of the Men's Masters in Vegas! Unfortunately our Ottawa teams came in second but congrats nonetheless! 2nd in the Masters is something to be proud of without question! This team won the middle (intermediate) division a few years ago as well. Wish I could have been there. WAY...

I just played for the first time on a Diamond Pro on Saturday. All I can say is WOW! That is the nicest table I have ever seen let alone played on. The pockets are great and the table plays so true it's scary! This is just my way of saying how jealous I am of all you out there that get to play...

First question: www.cuecomponents.com has them listed at $9.95 each. Is this a reputable site? Seems like it is. Second question: Anyone beat that price? I plan on ordering 5 or 10 depending on the price. PS: I have a local cue smith that would be interested if that price can be beaten as...

Ok, I have been on AZ for only a little while now but I have been getting more and more interested in acquiring a custom cue in the future. My question is this, if I am currently playing a Predator Z2 shaft and really like what it does for me, is there a cue maker whose shaft (standard) would...

I played in a barbox tournament in Quebec City this past weekend and got stuck with a fluked safety against me, I am solids and this is the shot I played...a little one rail masse to pocket the 3 ball. I hooked my self after making the shot and narrowly missed making the 1 ball three rails in...

Recently I played in the 3rd stop for the Stan James tour. I enjoyed being surrounded by such immense talent and I took every opporunity I could between matches to talk to as many pros as I could. Over the last few years I have played in about 10 pro events including the Limestone City Open and...

I am searching for a friend. Please PM or post (your choice) prices for new BK2's. To be known I will also require shipping to Canada. Thanks.

Ok, so I played a lot this weekend, just not very well. That said I have to tell everyone about a fun shot I hit in my match. Match was squared 6-6 race to 11. I broke and ran two racks and in the third a parked the CB in the middle but had a blocker between the CB and the one straight in to...

Last night I went to play at one of the local rooms against their house player. The table there is very fast and plays tighter than any other table in the area by far. Normally I take an hour or so to adjust, however, the changes I have been working on in my game seemed to come together last...

Freddy, I felt I had to say thank you. I recently purchased your Banking book. Wow. I am glad I never had the misfortune of falling into a match with you. I have not had a chance to truly get into the book or practice the shots on a table. I have only had a chance to read and learn some of the...

Ok, so over the years I have been fortunate enough to have had, as I am sure most have, those nights of extreme boredom where a bunch of talented players are standing around a table full of balls not wanting to play when one player says, "try this shot". They then proceed to hit a shot you would...

I have recently found out that the Canadian 9 Ball Championship will be played on Berringer tables. I have never seen or heard of them. A friend of mine in the billiards retail business says they are poor construction and of low grade materials. Is this the case? What experience has anyone here...

Ok, I normally ask my advice directly by PM, this time, however, I am going to see what some of the big boys (and ladies) do in preparation for a major tournament. At the end of August I will be playing in possibly the largest singles event, well, most significant anyway, of my life. I am...

Given the other thread about how many balls you have hit it made me think. I know there are lots of gamblers on this forum that would have played some serious marathons so I ask this...what is the longest you have played pool straight without reasonable stops for the restroom or food...
