my Budweiser I bought a $79 Budweiser cue because it's all maple. Based on this thread, I had Mason make a shaft for it and "adjust" it. It hits like a $3000 cue from a good maker. The guys in the pool rooms think I am a dork. The guys in the bars think I am one of them. At first...

Yeah, send it to Barry for escrow service and a note. That's the only way to go.

For a high end cue like this one, I'm flying in and picking it up personally. NO problem meeting him at the station to look at the cue. With 20K in my pocket, I would make him meet ME at the police station!

I always just rub some chalk on it. Ivory won't hold chalk; You can wipe it off. Maybe some of the new synthetic stuff won't either. I don't know.

Thanks. I was thinking Bob quoted me $500, but maybe that was Bill Stroud for my JW.

Who would be the best option to make me a period correct shaft with micarta ferrule for an old Schon for under $300? Thanks!

I would do what Bob says plus I would shoot it straight in the corner with OB near side pocket and CB a couple of diamonds back, drawing to tip of cue. I'm shooting at half a pocket, so I have to be dead on. (I'm drawing back ~two diamonds to my tip at first; pretty good is drawing back to...

I may be wrong but I believe Jimmy would tell you that he uses this method primarily for 1/4 ball and less hits.

I won the auction See my post on the other thread.

I won it this time And, I did get in touch with the seller via messenger after the auction closed and he sent me an email. He wanted me to pay a shipper (Blue Air something I think) thru a website that had a Romanian host. Originally, I thought wtf, I'll bid on it because I live close. After...

of course, you can aim using the lights. Those of you laughing are showing your inexperience. Some guys use them for specific shots; others for most shots. Aiming is a series of little systems, most of which are your own that you later learn, aren't. This is not something easily described...

Anybody know him?

Jimmy's still kicking He called last night. He's had a rough time but feels he's got the upper hand now. He said he had 134 radiation treatments. Seems like a lot. I asked him if he glowed in the dark and he said he didn't need a flashlight at night... As you guys said, he has no quit...

<snicker> Yeah, I know how to use Google. Turns out the phone numbers and websites on there are defunct. (Well, after 4 searches, digression looking at other stuff and about 10 pages into each search, I gave up) There are always a few nay-sayers, aren't there. It always surprises me how...
