    John Schmidt has beaten Mosconi

    I have a few thoughts on this new record run. First let me say that as a pool player myself it is almost inconceivable to run so many balls. But before all the worship begins remember that Willie never missed, he just stopped. Also Willie did his run on a small table which I believe is a more...

    Harris Cues Meltdown on Eddie Wheat Proportions

    Am I missing something here? For years I've read where famous hall of fame cue makers have used other cue makers components in their cues. I recently saw a Tascarella with a Davis blank, I've seen Scruggs Cue with Davis Blanks, I've seen Balabuska cues with spain blanks, and the list could go...

    Dalr Perry Cue

    I have an older Dale Perry Cue with a uni lock joint. I believe it to be ebony with fruit-wood points and what appear to be ivory inlays. I purchased this cue years ago from an auction, but since then I've seen dale's cues come down significantly in price. My cue is beautiful and has a great...

    Looking to purchase a cue.. J Pechauer Cues any good

    I've owned two Pechauer cues over the years, one with a phenolic joint & one with an ivory joint, both played very well. I also ordered a second shaft for the one, and the shaft was very well made. Pechauer's are nice cues pick the look you like, and can afford, and enjoy.

    Value of every day player cue

    My every day cue - Priceless. Seriously though, I would not take a cue out that is irreplaceable, but I've often shot with an $900 Rauenzahn at the local pool hall, never a bar.

    ................................

    I never like to see anyones name or initials put on a cue, i think it diminishes the value. When I was in the market for a used cue I found a few I really would liked to have bought, but they had someone else's name engraved on the butt. However, this is a very personal choice everyone must make...

    Lowballing prices

    As a businessmen I never negotiate the price for my services, I take great effort in setting a fair price for my work, which often means I loose out on the jobs where price is the main, or only concern. So, if you are the original maker of a product set a fair price based on the product, your...

    Ever have 2 different cues from same cuemaker that played differently?

    Does not the word "CUSTOM" in custom cue infer that each cue is different and unique, and would therefore, look, feel, and play differently. This is one reason I find it difficult to purchase a cue merely by a photo. Each shaft wood, shaft taper, ferrule, and tip combo can effect the feel of the...

    You can't help most people get better at pool.

    I learned to play pool the old fashion way, in old pool halls playing better, and better players. Some were nice enough to teach me some basics, but mostly they just gave lessons one game at a time for a small fee, if you get my meaning. Sure I read Mosconi's books in the 70's, and practised his...

    Help Me Make My Decision

    A pool cue is first a tool, and you should pick the right tool for the job. So, first ask yourself how are you going to use it. If your going to take it to pool halls & bars, transport it in the trunk of your car in the heat of summer & cold of winter don't spend a ton of money on a fancy custom...

    What happened to the cue market lately?

    My observation is that when a nice cue comes up for sale at a fair and affordable price it quickly gets snatched up solely for the purpose of resale at an increased price. Once resold it often gets resisted shortly there after at even a greater price. The cue market, like any market, must...

    What is it?

    Looks like a mid 70's JOSS, perhaps the brief period when there was no logo engraving.
