Wow, my 10th anniversary of joining AZB has arrived. I won't make a big deal out of it, it really seems like time has flown by, but when I think of it I laugh because it has been a fun, crazy ride that's still rolling on. I think of those that aren't here anymore, and miss them, a bunch of...

Mark Bear started making a cue for me early in 2009, using my wood. I promised to be patient, as Mark was a wood connisseur, and I was. Sadly, Mark passed away with only a few weeks to go on the cue. A friend of Mark's, Lee Bledsoe, graciously managed to send to me the almost finished butt, a...

A short while back, CJ Wiley challenged the top 100 players to play for cash. Has anybody taken him up on his offer? Who? For how much $$? How did they do? OR...why not?? :D

With this ad on every thread I open, I got to wondering...is the BK000 the same break cue as the touted BKIII? If not, what happened to the BKIII?
