    Valley Table Rails

    Yes. I set up a table in Chicago and used Penguin rails. It made a huge difference. The folks at Penguin were very easy to work with and the rails came dressed with Simonis cloth. Between new table cloth and new rails along with tightening the corner bolts the table was way better.

    What do I have here?

    I would guess a 70's cue. Possibly refinished as many had a decal on the butt sleeve. The bumper may have bonded with the finish. Braz, BRW are shortcuts for Brazilian Rosewood. You can no longer get it due to how endangered it is. That wood was highly prized, you might say "it doesn't grow on...

    What do I have here?

    Certainly does look like Rich Merry Widow. Rich did have a decent supply of BRW.

    a tale of Schmelke’s kindness

    Interesting. I have ordered two cues from them this year. The last one was just a month ago and their website, although antiquated worked fine. David will also answer the phone and is great at responding on email.

    AZ members that make cues......?????

    I make a few. I bet I’m not on the list. Like my cues, my business is small. 🤓

    I've Been Shanghaied

    I like your chances. At least of having a good time. I am three months away from retiring, I would love to have your freedom of going to events like this let alone competing. Three months is not so different than three hours, play well Lou!

    Denver Poolhalls

    Piazza's is a hangout for a lot of players who have been around each other for years. It is a cool spot and yes it is the #1 Italian restaurant in Aurora. I am a big table guy but I play on the 7 fters more frequently now. Piazza's is also active on live streams and has some great tourneys. They...

    Pool Chalk……Constantly Evolving……..What’s the Future?

    How bout ball chalk? Before the break you put a tip sized spot of chalk on the cue ball and position it at the tips point of impact. After the break the Ref (if its a tournament) marks the cue ball, picks it up and wipes it down, hands it to the shooter. Shooter re-applies the dot and the Ref...

    The other Gus?

    It is interesting, Like yourself I have spent years collecting pictures, articles and information on rare, and vintage cues. Lots of info saved on two computers that are not being used now. Both will still fire up but I need to find the time to save that material. Retirement is just around the...

    I was supposed to mention it for the seller but I got sent out of town. I have bought more that my quota of old Brunswicks this year or I would be after it myself. I would love to know the back story of that cue. Very special piece. I am sure many here will suggest that it is over priced but...

    2025 USA National Pool Championships. Quincy, IL, July 6-12

    I have been watching Sam Henderson play a bunch in the last year. The young man has just made it to the finals against Oacar Dominguez. It is great to see a few young guns playing and getting the experience. Ryno seems to be well on his way to becoming a great player.

    Help with thoughts / info about "RIEPER CO." billiards cue?

    The cue was quite fancy and special to me. But that also describes my daughter. I have only seen one other like it(the cue). Wow, that is really cool. The 7 foot Diamond, I mean, not the Wico Viking. Just kidding. That is really cool. I am sure that she will enjoy playing with the cue. They...
