    Cuemakers Taking Orders

    Steve Lomax made two cues for me. Both delivered on time, as promised. Mike Lambros makes a great cue as well. A longer wait but a quality product.

    Lambros M.E.T. cue...

    I was in Mike's shop today and was able to test hit his new cue design. I do NOT have an elite stroke and I was able to move the cue ball with much less effort. I'm no engineer, not a pro, or even a top amateur, but I could feel the difference immediately. Will this cue make me a pro? Hell no...

    Lambros M.E.T. cue...

    I've owned a Cohen, beautiful cue, a piece of art almost, great ring work, etc, but a dead stick in my hands, I thought the shafts were horrible. I own a really nice Tascarella that is one of my favorite all time cues, but I've hit with others that had a completely different feel. I currently...

    Lambros M.E.T. cue...

    Mosconi was a generational player. Please don't compare the masses to the immortals.

    Lambros M.E.T. cue...

    The only way to know if it's hype or reality is to try the cue for yourself, even then it will only be your reality. Different cues for different people. Mike Lambros makes a great cue, very consistent hit from one to the next. To me that speaks volumes about his design. Whether the cue suits...

    The Biggest Flaw of APA's Handicapping

    APA ratings are too generous. The rating should reflect some level of skill. 5's that can't perform a simple stop shot? 7's that rarely run tables? Give me a break. Winning doesn't mean you're any good, just better than the person you played. Toughen up on the criteria to advance and then maybe...

    The perfect GC1, 2, 3, 4, 5, &6, really?

    The dude is just baiting you. Great info BTW, wish I could get you to setup my GC 1. The balls seem to roll off towards the rails and get sucked into the pocket. I'm sure it has something to due with the frame but the mechanic who set it up came back threw some shims in but never really solved...

    Table Difficulty Factor (TDF) for measuring table "toughness"

    Does the pocket bevel angle play a factor in how the table plays? My rails on my GC1 were done by Mark Gregory. I believe his bevels 12°. I think the closer you get to zero degrees, balls hit into the pocket facing may be more difficult to pocket. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    what's the best cue you ever hit with, and why?

    Lambros is very consistent from cue to cue. Great balance, a stiff hit that was the same on all 4 Lambros I've owned. Workmanship is top notch, puts his own twist on classic designs, a true artist that reads the wood as well as anyone. I have one Tascarella that has a stiff yet soft hit, if...

    APA League MVP

    It all depends on your league and what the League Operator decides to do. In the league I played with we would get a plaque and a spot in the "MVP" tournament which is basically a free singles board. We no longer get a plaque or a patch and just entry into the MVP singles board. Some operators...

    What Cues/Shafts do the Professional Players Use?

    They use the cues of whatever company pays them the most to represent them. Just goes to prove it's the indian not the arrow.

    I watched part of an APA league stream

    I thought it was just me but I stopped using the Revo because of that. I've been playing with a Diveney keilwood shaft and it's every bit as solid as the carbon fiber and I can once again masse a ball when needed.

    SBE 2021 CANCELLED

    My absolute favorite pool related event, sorry to hear the news. Business wise I think it would have been tough on the vendors. Between the people who would stay away out of caution and the lack of the TAP Rally in the Valley I think attendance would have been light. Not to mention that PA is...
