This is a nice tournament( nice room, nice equipment):thumbup: ... they're limiting to 64 this year (they had 70 sumthin last year), so get there early.

Anyone know (for sure) if TS put his logo on all his sneaky's?

Offensively, banking the one back - If you think you can draw whitey into the stack without unsettling it much, but, depending on your leave luck, he may still be able to blast everything away from your hole. Else, I’d try to give him the eight...

:D I'll play devil's advocate here: Don't worry about it and don't bother - its anal. My shaft is a nice fine brown salt and pepper spalt that's taken years to develop (like a fine beer gut) and is smooth as glass. If you could see all the fine micro-garbage on the table that your laying...

Hmmm.... True sneaky petes' don't have collars (or butt caps). I also feel that they should be rated not only on their playability, but on there 'sneakiness', too (how well the shaft matches the butt and how non-discernible the joint line is). Granted these are nice cues, but, I think there...

I refuse to use them for this and other related reasons. They have a very closed system and and not customer friendly - Customer service rep refused to give me the phone number to the local terminal.:mad:

Its kind of like my take on most post-competition media interviews: These people, generally, don't have anything to say and they're mostly exhausted from what has just transpired and just want to get away to somewhere they're more comfortable. The media thinks that we, as spectators, want to...

I bought a couple of small boxes two years ago, because I was curious. At first I like it, but, I didn't get through one cube before I noticed it had little black specks (dirt,or something) embedded in it. Plus the density seemed to vary throughout the cube. It was soft and went on smooth at...

I never thought I’d say this (I have several custom SP’s – sorry guys), but, I just bought a hardly used, ebony, Player SP, and I’ll put it up against anything in my collection (currently 50+). Honest To God. I’ve compared it to some others (a lot of guys have these) and this one has a real...

Nothing at all wrong wrong with going that route, but here's another angle: If you're going to get an inexpensive cue, get a fairly cheap and plain one. A couple of real good players at the hall went that route (primarily, because thats all they could afford). One's an "Action" and the other a...

Don't get me started with UPS. Totally committed to non-customer service. Try and get the phone number to the local terminal. Called their 800 number - They won't give it to you. They're never getting another nickel of mine.

Sorry to have to tell you that cue lust is, in fact, a disease that will eat away at your game. I’m not saying that there are no exceptions, but, I’d wager that 99% of the great players don’t suffer from it. :(

I wouldn't mix 'em.

First off, I love sneaky’s. But, to me they aren’t sneaky if they have any collar, joint, or butt piece. A “true” sneaky” should be wood-to-wood. The Meucci and Scruggs are the standard, by which all SP’s are judged. The Huebler’s (also w-2-w), have some of the nicest figured butt wood of...

It's been a peeve of mine that a cue with a ring at the joint should not be allowed to be classified as a SP. Anymore, it seems like about 90% of the makers do this - apparently, for some, ill-conceived, structural integrity reason. I've had several with no collars, broke with 'em, and, never...

Headin to VF and was thinking about camping around Pittsburgh on Friday eve. What's the best room around? Also will plan to go a little further east that nite. Any accomodation recommendations along the TP? Thanks Cut

What is the daily admission? I didn't see it on the site.

I'm guilty of rotating them in and out, pretty much, on a whim - And I think it hurts me a little. The guys I talk to that also do this seem to feel similarly. My observation at my local rooms is the best players (either, by choice, or necessity) never switch and all use fairly old, and...

Use 'em all the time. Good stuff. Just rinse them off with a little dishwashing soap and they're ready to go again. They're not forever, however- eventually, they'll get krinkled up, but its no biggie.

All my cues hit bad.
