This is an interesting thread. Some of what I learned about Babe Cranfield relates to what people are discussing. Whenever I spoke with Babe about Mosconi, Babe always gave Mosconi a lot of credit and respect. Babe said that Mosconi's gift was in his ability to see so much on the table, and...

I made it to the SBE on Thursday only, but did get to meet Steve, Heather and Charlie in person. As everyone has already mentioned, they did a phenomenal job, but what stood out to me was how they made everyone at every ability level feel welcome. As a result, they got a lot of people watching...

Tom Migliore I think MasonH is correct. Tom makes all of his own pins. He supplies many of the other custom cue makers with different machined components, and so instead of Tom using an Atlas pin, it's probably the other way around! Around the greater NY and CT area, at a minimum, Tom enjoys...

Great idea! Thanks to Steve, Bob Jewett, Kevin, Charlie, and everyone else involved. I'll kick in $100.

Szamboti cues Two beautiful cues, the photography is absolutely fine, and nicely written too. Thanks for this thread! Love what both Barry and his Dad did below the wraps. These gentlemen just have the eye -- no matter how fancy or simple, it's never cluttered, always balanced, and just...

Wishing you and yours a healthy, happy holiday and year, Ken! Regards, Larry

solid playing cue I have the identical cue (except mine has white and brown speck irish linen). It is a great hitting cue. Tim Scruggs came across some solid hitting, old house cues, and used them for these not-so-sneaky petes. He made most of these cues with flat-faced joints, but I...

Erich, It is good to have these exchanges since we are all fans of pool and billiards, and (whether we own one cue or 100s) great cuemaking. You asked a question, and you seem open to everyone's responses. I'm glad people are posting questions about Gus and Barry Szamboti cues b/c it's...

I have not posted on any forum in years, but in this case I could not hold myself back. Barry Szamboti would never compare himself directly to his father, but he has earned that comparison, which is saying something because so few cuemakers -- indeed, so few PEOPLE -- practice their art or...
