I've seen Jack Hines leave 2 rooms in handcuffs. Tommy D.

I truly hope your cues play as good as they look,because if they do,you would be at the absolute pinnacle of the art. May business rain upon you bud. Tommy D.

How many of us would be considering going to JAIL if they were handed that back? I had an ivory ferrule hacked up by a guy that lives in Florida now but was in Tennessee at the time,although not this bad. I honestly swung on him and missed,but it got broke up after that. I spent the rest of...

I'm also part of the crowd that doesn't use Kamui because of the disruption in my PSR without chalking it. However it's a fine product,based on my own 100 ball experiment. Fresh Master is fine,but if I have to use my own stuff the Predator is also a quality product. However,for those of you...

They were always a good tool,esp back when they were made sharper on American soil,better steel. Usually,those had the rounded handle that looked like the top edge of a heart shape. I've still got one of those that rusted. I've also got a gold plated one with a Jack Justus pocket pouch Nick...

For whatever reason this is the best pic I can get on my phone. Tommy D.

Back in the early 90's I bought a Sterling Greg Sullivan pendant,and had a couple of kinked up 14k herringbone chains. One day I delivered lunch to a new custom jewelry shop in my hometown. After that conversation,I had him reproduce the Sullivan in 14k using my gold and the mold he made which...

After following this thread,here is my opinion. NO,that is not a bad job. A bad one is when you can see a gap like that at arm's length with no magnification. That pic is blown up. On the subject of drilling holes for the wrap,Ernie from Ginacue mentions this in a negative light in his...

Has anyone ever tried to stain it and give it a little tint like Juma? Tommy D.

Did anyone ever find a suitable replacement or it rebranded somehow? While we're on the subject,what is the hair product that is rebranded as Cue Silk? Tommy D.

Nice cue,but they only made cues using that version of their pin in 1993 I think,it wasn't long. Tommy D.

I was told that these cues in their day were for guys that couldn't afford a Szam or Paul Mottey. Tommy D.

I feel the same about him,maybe even more so. Not only because I've known him 30+ years,but he also got me started doing repairs in 1998,selling me the in-house lathe that became obsolete when the late Alex Brick moved his lathe into the back room at his room Player's. I can't thank him...

That is some next level shit right there. Tommy D.

I feel that most layered tips play best from the middle down,so as a player I've been taking at least the top 2 layers off,and then start my shaping. The tip currently on my main shaft is a medium Ultraskin. This also applies to Kamuis when I've used them. I also suggest the same to...

What will it take to get a few of the Rockys and Comprimes from you? Tommy D.

I use a small Scotch-Brite microfiber towel and worked white polishing compound and Meguiar's #26 carnauba wax into it. I've reapplied over the years,but been using it for 20 years now. Here is something else you can use it for. If you are playing on a table where there are rubber pocket liners...

I've never seen an unmodded Schon with a cleared butt cap. It's always been Delrin,and it won't take most finishes. Tommy D.

Keep in mind too that the radius can be tightened up or "sharpened" by using a much small cutter. Most production cues I've seen look like they used a 1/32 end mill,going back to the 80's Joss/Schon inlay machines might not have done any smaller,plus end mills smaller than that might not have...

Who did they lose,and why? Tommy D.
