Hello Everyone Let me begin by reporting that in recent weeks I have completed certifications as a Studio and Field Producer for Rogue Valley Community Television based in Ashland Oregon. As a producer I am assisting on various shows produced by other producers and also producing my own shows...

Oh maybe because they dont want to wait 12+ years and pay for the premium Southwest price. Those woukd be my first guesses.

I am trying to raise funds to allow me to attend the BCA Nationals in Vegas in July. I have been out of pool competition for several years due to injuries from a car accident. It has taken me a long time to rebuild my health to a point that i can begin playing pool again. I re-started my playing...

Sad to hear about Bob Vanover. When i was in college and learning to play i heaed stories about Bob and how well he played. Dementia is a tough thing to watch happen in a loved one. I have been watching it affect my father for the last six years as i take care of him full time. My prayers go out...

Oh man this sucks. The last time that i met Evan was last summer at BCA Nationals. I shot one of his cues. Talked to him about ordering a custom design. I wrote him at beginning of january to begin ordering a cue and never heard back from him. But was excited at the idea of ordering a unique cue...

Between the style of inlays and stain color it gives me a feeling of Meucci. But its not any Meucci i have seen before. It may have been an import pretending to look like a Meucci. To me it just kinda has that bit of flavor about it.

I have been playing with a Phillipi cue for over 15 years. Its tge best hittung cue i have and is my main daily player. Have won more with that cue than any other. Great quality, balance and hit. Wish i had more cues by him.

For the money and best overall value id look at Pechauer, Jacoby, and Schon among the custom shops. McDermott and Viking for production. They all make a very fine quality cue.

Well its nice to see that there is finally some kind of response to this thread by the OP. but it would have been nice and somewhat considerate by the OP to have updated earlier. That would have prevented my need to express any negative concern about what may be happening in regards to the whole...

I have to assume at this point that this beta test offer is eithet no longer offered or wasnt real to begin with. I PM the OP within hours of the original post and have not heard back. I also in time emailed the company from their website. And i messaged the company thru their facebook page. And...

Schmelke's super brass joint i found to kill alot of sense of hit in the butt for a playing cue. However i always found that the joint worked great for a break cue. The joint adds forward balance to the cue and i always got great power for the break with it. In fact i intend to order a basic cue...

My number 1 most desired cue has been a Richard Black Silver Crown model. Ive wanted that cue since i was in college in the mid 80's. After that a Gus Szamboti cue with propeller inlays. Then any cue that i like from Bert Schrager TAD Ginacue Balabushka PFD Josey AE Espiritu Those would be...

The cuemakers with the biggest reputations will always have a select set of customers That will have no problem paying 10k+ for a custom cue. Its like every other luxury category. There r select producers of extreme quality for select buyers in the category. U wont see me spending that much...

That's sad to hear. My condolences go out to his family. I had the opportunity to shoot one of his cues when we had it in stock at the pro shop I worked for. John's cues offered a solid hit with his unique joint design. And he offered unique designs with his cues. With his inlays in...
