Hire a ball boy to replace balls to their position during practice sessions. He's gotta keep 'em clean, fetch beers, brush the table during bathroom breaks, etc. I'd make my own kid do it, but don't have any.

Bump... #7 spoken for. Any others?

In a pinch and gotta move these. I'll make deals individually on these but, at this point, I'd greatly prefer to just sell as one lot. 1. MO-4 (shaft refinished, new ferrule & tip) - $350 2. 80-5 (refinished) - $500 3. 84-3 (refinished) - $675 4. 84-3 (refinished) - $675 5. 84-3 (refinished by...

Here's how it looks today:

"Traveling to Larkspur, CO" Words I've never seen together (unless the Colorado Renaissance Festival was going on). Enjoy your stay!

My very first cue was won at an arcade in Medford, Oregon. They had a glass box with a fan that blew money and coupons around, and I had a few seconds to grab what I could. One coupon was for the cue. About a year later (back in Colorado), I was hitchhiking to Estes Park and thought I'd be a...

Had some fun with this the other night. Give it a try, let me know what you think. Risk overview: Game is played in rounds, with each player getting one turn at the table per round. Winner is the player with 31 points or more at the end of any round. Must win by two points. A match is best of...

You said you got it cheap. It's not likely to bring much (if any) profit, regardless. If it makes you mad and you aren't planning to keep & play it, just throw that bad boy under a radial arm saw and find your truth. If you're right, you can crow about it. If not, you can remain silent. Problem...

No, that's original to the cue.

Bump. I'd like to move on to other projects. Taking a small hit to move it at $700 + shipping. Also will be listing on ebay again, if you really want to pay more.

Yep. Full refinish with new ferrule and a classic solid leather tip. Hits like a dream IMO. I got tired of waiting for Meucci and found another guy. Did an amazing job on it. Side-by-side with other 84-3 cues that Darrin at Meucci did for me, you can't tell the difference in the final finish...

Finally got this one back. So glad I changed it from the solid white wrap. Looks so much better with the green. Shall I call it the Green Machine or The Color of Money?

Wow. Some of the arrogant disrespect here for a Hall of Famer is honestly pretty surprising. Father time catches up with everyone, but he accomplished far more in his career than most could even dream of.

And Triangle. Funny thing is... Tweeten makes all three.

I find the debate pretty interesting. In the early years, Meucci relied on northern slow-growth hard rock maple for their cues. In later years, they changed to the faster growing southern varieties (cheaper and more readily available). With the slow-growth maple, the more dense grain structure...

I've been playing with a vintage Meucci for 40 yrs and had my bullwhip long before that. Never did get the "whippy" characterization. It's not like some flimsy noodle out there. Rather, I always felt is was a bit softer of a hit. Feels like the cue strokes through the ball, whereas firmer sticks...

USPS has also apparently lost track of the Meucci 84-4 I bought. Should have arrived Saturday. Their tracking system often indicates a container scan. They scan a large shipping container to track everything that "should" be in the container. It doesn't necessarily mean they scanned the actual...

Finally got my account back. 👍

I'd think 14 is old enough to understand just how profoundly her father would be disappointed if they damaged his favorite things. Literally, what's the worst that could happen? Some kid spills a coke on the cloth and you're out some cash. On the other hand, the bond of trust that the moment...

Was long ago, but we always had to feed quarters into the tables for league play, whether home or away. Also remember when one bar owner decided to limit league play to one table for two teams. The whole league revolted and no one spent any other money while playing there. That bar only lasted...
