My son found 2 1950s one piece titilist - we had both converted -about 3 years ago at about $350 each - no additional inlays - total with original titilist purchase came to $450 each - new shafts included - I just don’t get the $1000 price tags - but to each his own.

I only use wood shafts - they just feel more natural in so many ways - I don’t want to be perfect bc of my equipment - I seek perfection because I earned it respecting tradition . Some choices in life just should not be technology driven - I like it that way!

I have found that Leather wraps do not do a good job of sweat absorption and always prefer a very good, reasonably tacky feeling linen wrap. Some linen wraps are too slick and the wax paper trick is a very temporary fix for that. Some, NOT ALL, leather wrap cue handle channels are too deep to...

I am firm believer in 4 3/4 inch pockets for the person who has a home table and would like a table enjoyable for all family members, friends, and casual match play. A very, very small percentage of people who play this game actually would enjoy a table with small pockets. The people on this...

I play sometimes on my son's Anniversary. I started playing pool on GC1s in the later 1960s. I have played on Diamonds- Red and Blue- I will take the vintage Brunswick all day long - and just the way they came out of the factory - I just think that those Brunswick's epitomized pool as it was...

I purchased my second Troy Downey cue from an AZ member here this week. I received the cue, model DCC074 on the Mueller's Billiards site, and, again, I say that Troy Downey cues, TODAY, IMO, are the very best constructed, and playing cues -- for the money- of any cue maker - and I have...

High quality, appropriate design indoor / outdoor low nap carpeting worked for me in a finished basement setting billiard area when I had home tables for 25 years. In the main part of the house, the carpet/ no carpet decision should be based on the main home's general flooring decor - if one...

The most Desired Dufferin and the most converted. This one from my collection is just about as mint as they come. Full bright finish, strong Dufferin logo and weight stamp, strong " Made in Canada" bumper marker. RARE- almost unused cue -- Full Splice FOUR Symetric Ebony points into BEM...

Excellent read!! I recommend it highly.

I did not know that Cortland linen was also available in a dark base color - always being educated👍

When you step into the world of clubhouse, senior center, community center pool — you will encounter pool with an array of personalities and opinions on the game that will test the boundaries of human patience and the most unbelievable stories imaginable - everyone was a world beater somewhere...

Well if it were Predator today offering Micarta for their ferrules I would imagine they would market it as a revolutionary ferrule material that assists the directional line of the cue ball to the desired aim point on the object ball - and add $100 to Micarta ferrule Predator cues😁😁

Abe was mostly a cue assembler from parts that he bought and sometimes built. - his cues play fine, nothing special - his lack of adding spliced cues and classic inlays kept him from achieving higher cue building status. Just a true throwback in the craft though, I visited him in Fl. At...

do your CF shafts have an insert into the shaft where it screws into the joint pin? The insert may be too short or may not be tapped exactly as your joint pin is configured.

Over time I have come to realize that the “mental side” of pool comes down to just being able to perform at one’s current best ability shot after shot regardless of anything else related to a game or match. The method one adopts to achieve this state of being can vary widely. Most...

Bob Rotella has several notable golf based mental side books including " Golf is not a game of Perfect"--- His writings bring some thoughts about how to handle competition - both external and the resulting internal noise - all well worth reading.

Pro cut 4 1/2 inch Pockets are too tight for casual players to enjoy - end of story-,you should compromise at 4 3/4 inch to satisfy you and all of your guests - my 2 cents and 50 years of various table ownerships.

This price of 2500 is certainly not a deal - I think. - realistically - one could not profit from that price if the intent is resale - if all of this is being purchased to fill in personal collection needs or desires than one could negotiate a price to buy the lot. It would be a tremendous...

My son has an original Anniversary in fantastic non- refinished condition - talk about a classic design - art deco into pre modern —- it is just one Brunswick design for all times. Here it is in his home

I truly get the need vs. want thing- I should have used the term want not need in reference to your KW search. I would say that just about every cue related purchase that I ever made - which or the past 40 years amounts to many, many thousands of dollars, was want related and not need related...
