    Todays Sneaky Pete cues

    The only sneaky pete that looks like a house cue is a house cue. Nobody that can play is fooled by "sneaky petes". If you want to look like you don't know what you are doing get a purple Cuetec or gaudy Walmart cue. And after a rack or two you aren't fooling anybody :)

    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    Predator, Cuetec, Mezz and others make cues as good or better than 95% of the customs. They are available now, without drama, stalls, delays and fraud. And CF came along. I wouldn't do the custom cue thing for all the tea in China :)

    Predator customer service

    on a lighter note, Predator customer service is like jumbo shrimp. Oxymoron perhaps :-)

    How to Own a Poolhall?

    Unless you have super cheap rent and lots of folks around with some money it's hard. Of two rooms I know of that are doing great, one makes it all on the bar biz and the other is in a college/tourist town and is just a great place to be in.

    straightline: "Can you provide the logic behind this?"

    Missing the point, IMO. When you are good and make a living with it, there is no upside in sharing. That said, get the basics and put in the time. SVB shares how he lines up on the shots. Him telling you and you actually doing it consistently and well are two different things. Takes time.

    🔵Facebook sale ---80 McDermott cues from friend’s late-father & McDermott dealer — How will this end? 🔵

    Worth original wholesale less 30%. Why buy no warranty old cues that might have problems when dealers can buy new cues from McDermott with a warranty at wholesale ? and a dealer is the guy to buy these.

    A cue you might want to sell later...should you leave it in clear plastic it shipped in?

    If you bought it to flip, flip it now. The heat will go out in a few months, that's if they really are selling for $1200 on the 'bay. McDermott and Chops can make more of 'em :-) Not a lot of tiny had work involved.

    I jumped on board with the new McDermott/Chops collaboration

    and of course "asking price" is a different thing than "sold for" price. I bet McDermott is cranking out a the next batch. I have one and love it.

    I jumped on board with the new McDermott/Chops collaboration

    I have the Chops SP1. My league has 80 players in a big room 26 tables. Everyone has a break cue, so 150 mostly dark colored cues laying around. I want one that's easy to keep an eye on. They all play the same after a few weeks mental adjustment for me. And I like the way they look.
