UPDATE. OFFER OVER. Cory

UPDATE: OFFER OVER. I had ordered the S-10 but after some delays, Evan sent me a fancier cue at no additional cost. But I don't know the model name or number. Weight is 19.25, wrap is leather, shafts are straight and un-dinged. One shaft has seen regular play and the other has probably hit a...

Tough to fade...

Actual conversation between me and a waitress last night at Society Billiards in Manhattan: ME: Do you know if anyone here plays one pocket? WAITRESS: No, all of our tables have four pockets. ME: No, all of your tables have six pockets, but that's not what I was asking. In addition to a...

In my part of DC there's no one who does even simple cue work. My effort to do them myself worked out ok but not perfect. Who is a good person to mail my shafts to for some new tips? I sent a pm to ratcues but he didn't answer. Thanks

Sorry for the DC-specific post in the general forum, but there are a lot of DC-area players on AZB and this seems like a good way to reach them. I've been hoping for a Masters League to start up somewhere closer to DC than Sterling for a long time and it looks like that's about to happen...

Hi -- There's no one close to where I live that is good for installing tips, so i'm going to start rolling my own. I don't need a lathe, but I do think it would be a lot easier if I could lock the shaft into my vice and then use my detail sander to take the tip down. Two questions: 1. Is...

Things have been a little slow around here lately, so here's something to get some discussion going. I think it would be interesting to see the APA records of the various posters here (at least the ones who play APA). A surprising number of people here have claimed to run 5, 6, and 9 packs, but...

I just had my table redone and I noticed a small roll by one pocket. You can see the video of the roll here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4O1nNT3T6LM. (That's my first youtube video, hello 2004! Sorry for the shaky first 5 seconds). As you can see, when a ball is hit at pocket speed straight...

I posted this in another thread (I'm sure all of AZB has been waiting to hear wait Cory thinks!). For those who have tried Bonus Ball, what do you think? For those that haven't, why not? To get things rolling, here are my initial thoughts. 1. "Bonus ball" is a lame name. Need something...

Going to be in Dallas for a week -- where is the place to play that's closest to DFW? Cory

There are a lot of DC-area players on AZBilliards, so this will hopefully be of interest. Bedrock Billiards in Adams Morgan and the local APA are offering a free Masters Division in the spring session (that is, right now) -- you have to pay your annual dues if you haven't already, but there are...

There are a lot of DC area people here, so maybe someone can help. I'm finally going to have a home table. We're renting and the owner is leaving his table in the basement. It's a Vitalie big 8' table. I've never heard of them, but they seem to be good tables. See...

Per a discussion in another thread, there's a lot of interest in an AZB meet and greet in Las Vegas. For those who would like to meet up, let's meet on Wednesday (8/20) at 5:00 at the Fireside Lounge in the Peppermill. Peppermill is just south of the Riviera -- IIRC, you exit the Riv from...

I went to Champions in Shirlington tonight (as I do now and then) and was surprised to see that they have a Saturday night free pool special. Buy $10 worth of food or beer and play free from 6:00 to close! That's certainly the best deal I've seen in the DC area. I think that on Sundays they run...

Four items for sale: 1) Schon cue: 4 points, cocobolo veneers, maple forearm, and cocobolo butt sleeve. (I think this is a CX-01). JW Petree (http://www.petreecustomcues.com/cues/) refinished this cue and put on a smooth black leather wrap. JW did a great job on this one (as usual) -- I...

Everything you need to play: 1) Schon cue: 4 points, cocobolo veneers, maple forearm, and cocobolo butt sleeve. (I think this is a CX-01, but I'm not certain). Earlier this year, JW Petree (http://www.petreecustomcues.com/cues/) refinished this cue and put on a smooth black leather wrap. So the...

I will be there from around 3 to 7 on Wednesday. I'd be happy to run into Jude, SJM,.and other AZB NYera. You can spot me by my 3 piece lebow cue and Brian Bonner case.

SOLD!!!!!!! This is the Scruggs I was trying to sell last month (see this thread)... apparently right before Xmas is a bad time to sell a cue, so I'm relisting it now. 4 Point Tim Scruggs, early 1990s. Ivory inlays in points and butt, real nice rings, 2 13mm shafts, non-ivory ferrules. As...
