    Chuck Starkey

    Hope he's alive and well, I have one of his big wood pin cues. Have had several in the past. The play great.

    Do I really NEED a $10k table?

    if you play league or tournaments, buy what they play on if you are serious, other wise for fun buy a old 9 ft GC.

    If you live in the SouthWest beware of this HUSTLER.

    never kill a man's hustle, it's part of the game.

    Falcon Cue

    Maybe a collector pays up, but for intrinsic value 200-400. The cue world has moved on. CF shafts, Predator etc. $1900 in 1991 ?? That's like $10,000 in today's dollars. I can't imagine players lined up to buy it.. Good Luck.

    Joe is helping pool. Any celeb who is a pool player helps pool. Joe loves the game and a lot of folks like Joe. A win/win for all.

    Have you ever attempted to play with a very warped pool cue, and did it bother you, and were you able to pot balls with it consistently?

    Yes, on a trip to Australia, played with a very crooked snooker house cue and it really didn't matter. I think it's more in our heads than in actual playing that crooked is bad. So if it's a tiny credit card roll, ignore it.

    Higher skill pocket billiards players - 9 ball or snooker players?

    Why don't they go to American pool or English 8 ball? Much less $$$$ is the reason.

    Higher skill pocket billiards players - 9 ball or snooker players?

    World class pro snooker players make far more money. That tells you where talent is. Last year, the top 10 snooker players earned form about $400K to Ronnie making about $1.3 milllions. Ronnie's lifetime earnings are over $18,000,000. https://www.olbg.com/blogs/snooker-earnings

    Better for me: AVID vs. G-Core or Vikore

    Avid cues/shaft are excellent.

    Pia Filler hates wood shafts

    I think she is correct. Anyone who has used wooden rifle stocks know humidity, and temperature affect accuracy a lot.

    "Star LA chef who doubles as one of America’s best pool players"...NOT!!!

    Why knock the guy and the article ? It's promoting our sport, it's a positive thing. Be happy somebody wrote it.

    Best All-Around Production Cue for ~$1000 (Value, Playability, Durability, Support)?

    Not the ones I have had. can't dent 'em. can't break 'em. well finished. If a Cuetec falls on to a chair the chair gets hurt :-) Millions $$$$ made with Cuetec cues. Probably the most money making cue out there. That should be all you need to know.

    Do I really NEED a $10k table?

    I don't think it matters if for home use only. If you play league or tournaments, best to practice on what you play league on. Get a 7 ft Valley and have fun with it.

    Best 7’ table other than Diamond!

    Just to make clear, I prefer REBCO 7ft tables to 7ft Diamonds. And the good part is they are 1/2 the price of a Diamond. That said if you play league or tournaments on Diamonds, better practice on one. I like 9 ft REBCO tables also. Bob makes a great table, IMO.

    Are LD shafts only really helpful on long shots w/ a lot of side spin?

    helpful on all shots, none of us hits center ball every time. more forgiving of the slight mistake.
