Irving suggested this to me often as well. He believed the short bridge cut down on the movement and increased accuracy without sacrifice. At times, I find myself shortening my bridge and focusing on staying relaxed as that is the key in everything. A short bridge can be a bit stressful when...

Just stopped back after years away from this forum. Nice to see its still there. I started by writing my condolences to Althea, the widow of Irving Crane. Since then, she has joined her beloved husband. We often spoke of her feelings and prayers. She prayed every night for all the family and...

Behind every great man is a great woman. Beside Irving Crane was Althea Crane. They are still together. Althea Crane passed away last week in Rochester NY at the age of 98. They leave a legacy of a great family, and the love and refinement of the pocket billiards for as long as the game will...

Althea Crane, the widow of the great champion and gentleman Irving Crane, has passed away last week at the age of 98 having celebrated her birthday in her home with her wonderful and very large family of children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Althea was a wise, kind and very sweet...

Just played Bosco and while he protests, he can still play....

Pool is a contest of a person against the table rather then the opponent. Also, it is not much fun for these who don't understand it and it is complex. Swimming suit, bikini pool may work for the general public as long as the men don't try it. I think Minnesota Fats would agree, but on the...

-30 degrees today. :-) Just got a cue shipped from Florida before their "cold spell" and I can not believe it survived the UPS ground trip with the climate and temperature change! A little worse for wear possibly but still good enough for a 30 year old plus cue. Cold weather was made for...

Both would be really nice to play pool with. Collectables or not.

523.56g Nice cue....

It does look great. I sited the very nice talent of the guy and that he is a good man in my other post. I also wrote him on Ebay the same. He is an honorable man and I wish him the very best.

Just got a note from the seller that he changed the listing to clarify it. A good man.

Only to these who know what they are buying.

Asked the guy why he is so unclear in the listing saying this is vintage when it is not.... This is his reply: "Oh I don't know...I guess it's just more fun this way. I like to see what kind of guesses it gets. I did some work on an old vintage Bushka style Meucci a few years ago (replaced...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Custom-Balabushka-Style-Bushka-Cue-/300999063088?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4614f13630 Seems there is no mention unless I missed it - of this Adams that was antiqued and with the signature taken down on the forearm. I asked the seller and he confirmed it...

Beautiful cue - I like the wood and the design. Great job!

Just wanted to share this image of Woody Allen with his pool cue. Enjoy it.

Will try 3 of them. Thanks.

I really like this cue and your idea of it!

That was my guess. I suppose we will never know. Now... Did I post this question in the wrong place? What's this bad rep and all this fuss about? Just trying to have a calm, intelligent conversation with people here about a cue I am NOT selling. The seller on Ebay is not me by the way and I...

--------------------------------------------- 1 - I am not selling this cue. Someone else on Ebay was selling it. I was curious and wished to compare opinions on what it is. 2 - I have always treated this site with respect and expect the same in return.... I do not appreciate your tone or...
