I have a Palmer first catalog cue that I'm trying to sell for a friend. It is in bad need of refinishing, but in the Blue Book of Cues, it says that if just anyone refinishes it, it drops quite a bit in value. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Here's a Slade cue which I've been told was made in Colorado when Clay Etheridge and Nick Wright were working with a couple of other guys before both later were owners/workers at Showcase in the 1975-76 timeframe. Cue has been well taken care of. Has 13mm tip, unknown type, unknown weight. Has a...

This is a first catalog #11 model. There are some finish issues that should be visible in the pictures, the wrap is looking like it could use a facelift, and the plastic window has some glazing. Two shafts, one is 12.75mm and the other is 12mm. When rolled, the shafts have less than a credit...

Here's my collection of cues: Top is a Lucasi Jump/Break with built-in extension in the butt. 2nd is a Schmelke Bacote which came with like a 9 or 10mm tip on it. I got a Schmelke laminated shaft and an American Cowboy laminated shaft for it. 3rd is a Dale Perry Cocobolo with turquoise and ebony...

A friend of mine's dad wants to sell his Palmer and another cue that he's had quite a while. We haven't been able to figure out what the 2nd cue is to determine its worth. He says his dad calls it the Mosconi cue. The logo looks sort of like Schmelke but not the same. Does anyone have any idea...

Would someone who knows pass along information about which extension Shane Van Boening is using and how long it is? Thanks!

I'm having a custom cue built and need some malachite for ring work around 5" long (minimum of 4"). It can be natural stone or synthetic. Anyone who knows of any sources or if you have some for sale, please post here or send me a PM. Thanks a bunch!

I have a 1920s 10' snooker table for sale. It is the Madison model and is located in the Portland, OR area. It has Simonis 760 cloth in good reusable condition. The rail rubbers are in great condition as are the pockets. The table was in terrible shape when I got it. I sanded, reglued, and...

Last night at league in Camas, WA, Phil apparently had a massive heart attack and died in the bar we were playing in. Just wanted to spread the word to those posters/lurkers who may have known him in the Portland, OR & Vancouver, WA area. :( As I knew him, he was a friendly, talkative man in...

BCA league ended and last night was payouts. After we got our money, those that wanted to paid $5 to play in a blind draw Scotch Doubles tournament where the lowest point scorers for the session were matched with the highest point scorers with a mix of Masters and Open players. One of my...

YouTube - Life: Bottlenose dolphins mud-ring feeding

This has been around for a few years, but has just recently been applied to billiards. I have been using it for about a month for other things, so can't comment yet on its efficacy vis-a-vis pool playing. The basic premise is that this technology can directly communicate with your...

I was watching the Kunihiko Takahashi/Roger Griffis semifinal from the 1998 Challenge of Champions the other night. I noticed that Takahashi had almost constant facial tics and spasms, including one that caused his eyes to close. My question is (if there is anyone out there that knows), are...

Are there any snooker tables in Las Vegas? Going to be there from the 13th-20th of July and not much of a gambler. Thanks!

I was watching one episode of a new 4 part series on one of the HD channels about the Mekong river. This one was about a lake in Cambodia that fills up and drains with the coming and going of the monsoon season. Most of the money made by the people who live on the lake comes from raising...

Well, it was just a practice game, not the US Open. However, it was still enough to make me jump up and down and yell a little bit. I've been playing a lot of Rotation lately to help with banks, combos, and kick shot practice. I played a safety on the six and left myself with this layout...

Seems like every friggin' time I watch the WPBA on ESPN, Mitch or Ewa states how hungry (really/very hungry) the players are. Should we take up a canned food drive or something? :p It seems like anyone with a reasonable grasp of the English language should be able to find another way of...

I have a 1920's Brunswick snooker table with leather pocket rims and crocheted drop pockets. The leather that goes around the irons is nice and thick, then turns into thin flanges at the bottom where the knit part is sewed into them. When I hit a ball at a fairly good speed and it goes...
