    Arvorin Rod as ferrule ??

    This material looks great, and theres been discussion on its use, but has anyone an opinion on how it hits? Is it really a good sub for ivory, other than appearance? Tried elforyn, but wasnt that impressed with the hit.

    Appreciate the interest. A question I have, is what would be the best way to pursue a sale? Ebay and notification on AZB or selling directly on AZB? I will make recommendation when I see the owner in the next day or two. I know she didnt care to hear about the 10% fee ebay charges when I first...

    Lucassi questions

    I was pleasantly surprised by how well this Lucassi cue played. This tip is just outstanding. I would like to know what it is so I could try it on other cues. Have not been able to find the cue on any web site, so assume that it is a retired model, but by the excellent condition do not think...
