To all here on AZ, and around the world.

The so called Fast-Larry is running his big loud mouth again. He's talking crap once again.... Your just running your mouth off..........

He has made the comment that I [ Leonard Bludworth known as "BLUD" ]learned how to build cues watching bob meucci in his factory. [ bull crap].
Never saw bob turn a machine on........

When I was there, the only thing I did was to remodel his shops game room, which housed a gandy table.........

I purchased cues and hit the road.

I sold his cues for about 5 month's.

I never once had a contract with him. I bought cues at 50% off, thats all.

BEFORE GOD AND ALL HIS CHILDREN, I AM SELF TAUGHT BUILDING CUES.

If you Larry, knew anything about cues, you could see that mine are in no way, like bob cues.

Larry you are again running your big mouth.

Larry if you keep this crap up you will wind up in a hell of a law suit,for slander and libel.

That sir, is a promise.

I will not stand for you to slander me in any way.[ slander, A false statement that damages a person's reputation].
[ LIE-bul.. A published false statement ].

You have done both, so you had better back off and with retract your statements about me...

The first six pack I strung together in 9 ball, was in 1998 (19 years old), Starcade Billiards (first duty station - Hurlburt Field), using a beat up Bludworth Sneaky Pete with a moori tip....playing for tha' cash (bought it from one of best local 9 ballers in Nashville TN, who by the way I saw win a ton of cash with it-so I thought it might have some good luck on it- before I left for basic training). Learned the hard way about Florida humidity and leaving cues in your car all tha' time. That sucker warped like a bow. I've only shot with one cue that I liked as much since (a Tim Scruggs that I believe Toby Joe now owns). I would recommend a Bludworth to anyone.

Don't sweat Pocoloco, Blud. Obviously nobody places much credit to what he says. With all his records and trick shot talent, his mouth will always leave him far behind the rest. Actually he's probably a nice guy in real life, but just so insecure he's quick to take the defense on everything and lash out, criticizing anyone and anything to boost his sadly depleted ego. It would be better to pity him, than get angry at him. It's really just pretty sad.

I forgot, I for one would not want a muecci or build anything close to it.
muecci at one time was the number one cue in the world. What happened and why isn't it number one any longer? can any of you guys tell us why????
thanks for the kind words matt.....

I only repeat what Bob told me Blud, as I said in my post, you have a problem with that, take it up with him and not with me. You want that information stopped, call him up and tell him, not me. You want to sue somebody, sue him, not me. I am just the messenger here, as usual, you want to shoot the messenger. I have no idea if this data is true or not. The board member should sort it out on his own. Just do this, If you want to know the truth on this, then call bob meucci, then call blue, them call Sigel, then you will know. Until then, all I am doing is repeating what I am hearing and I repeat, I do not know if it is ture or not. I really do not know, I was not there. What this board is about is sharing of information. Blud, perhaps I should send to my lawyer as well the post where you called me crazy. You need to drop all this lawyer crap, all they do is cut up two suckers like you and me. That is a fools play.

I figured this next play, you cant shut me up by telling everyone I am crazy, now it's keep spilling the beans selling ivory gets elephants shot in the head so I will have my lawyer sue you to shut you up. Is that what you are now saying Blud. Ok, I'll now shut up per your request, I made my point, have a nice day, sell your ivory all your want, I will continue to play with plastic.

Next topic, next post, I am outta here boys.

Who wants to talk about hooters and beer. Ivory depresses me.

I never once had a contract with him. I bought cues at 50% off, thats all.

Ok blud, I shall retract my statement right now per your immediate request. I said what was told to me. I was not there, how should I know what you or Mike did or did not do. I only repeated what was told to me. That is what this board is all about, talk pool, sharing data. Look at what’s being posted about Fats and Fast Eddy, most of it is bull, but nobody say’s I’ll sue you because I don’t like what you said. I said in my statement, if you don’t like this, do not take it up with me, and take it up with Bob. What do you do, you take it up with me. Why don’t you take it up with Bob? I repeated what Bob told me. Let me back out of this now, you settle this with Bob. I am just the messenger here, as usual all you guys know, as I keep pointing out, is to shoot the messenger.

Look I really don’t give a damn who trained or who started out whom, this is all very silly to me to be frank. You guys sort this out. If any one wants to really know, have them call you, then call Bob, then call Mike and make up their own opinion. I do not care, nor do I really know, that is my statement and my retraction of my earlier statement. Do you find that satisfactory sir or would you prefer for me to just cut both wrists?

My official stance on this is I do not know, I now have no opinion. May be I shall send to my lawyer also where you are calling me crazy on this forum. Then we can sue each other and the two lawyers can get together and cut us both up, that sir is a fools game I would choose to avoid, but I have been in court before and I do have a corporate attorney.

It is you, who attacks me sir, not me you. If you would just stay off my posts and keep your mouth shut, these things would never arise. You just can’t do it can you; you just must come after me with all your dealer pals.

Go sell your ivory, Gods speed, God help the poor Elephants. I am off this thread, I shall post no more on it, have a nice day.

Desperate people will resort to desperate means.

Sue me, I force this to a jury, if there are animal lovers on there, you are toast, I always wanted to own a cue factory. Be very careful here, don't let your red neck back get up and cause you to write a check your butt can not cash. I'll take off and go play pool, perhaps you need to do the same thing. You said you would stay off my posts, you did not, try and remember that in the future, stay out of my face. :cool:

May God bless and peace be with you. May the wind be always on your back and all 9 balls fall. VENI VIDI VICI, OMNIA VINCIT AMOR. Latin for “I came, I saw, I conquered, love conquerors all. Yes I really did do it all and you can believe it, or not. If you don’t believe it, C’est La Vie. A prophet is not recognized in his own land. Rack em sausage, Go play fast and loose. In time, it’s all dust in the wind anyway

:D

As you pointed out, this is not my field of expertise, I am a pro player with a cue, I have never made one, I only know how a good one feels and works. I know little of your history. In the interest of peace, Yes sir I retire from the field, take to the field and play pool. Nuff said, I hope. I am out of here, I come in here to teach and have fun, why does this always end up in a rumble, this is so confusing to me, oh well, maybe that's pool. I do not seriously enjoy this, dont want to do this, don't like this. This ivory thing was beat into the ground twice before, it was like this was dragged out in front of me to set me off, well it worked, it did. I do not have time to save the world, the whales or the elephants, right now I have to save me and that means get to work doing shows to feed wonder dog and Sarah and quit fighting with you or any one else on this damn cpu. Speaking of a fools game, what in the hell are we doing to each other here.

I should not interfer with others intercourse of business, they should not do same with me. They have with me, I must forgive and forget and move on with that.

With that, I take a deep breath, slug down a jolt and go to friggen bed.

May God bless and peace be with you. May the wind be always on your back and

You wouldn't know what a good cue hit like. Mr. Reyes makes some very nice cues. How many has he made in his lifetime? Do you know? Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to play with one. I would love to.
Pigiboy, what do you play with? A Master Bing! No offence to you Mr. Reyes, I admire your work and I know Pigiboy doesn't speak for you.

Nowadays, there are so so so many cue makers out there and even some great ones. I don't see how Blud's cues could be "considerable low quality" compared to anyone. His cues have form and function. He is upthere with the Dpks, the Hercecks, the blackboars, scruggs, and so on. If I had the money I would buy a blud with out question. There seems to be a fued between a couple of members in here and it is negative to the forums. I know I haver only been here a couple weeks, but(in hoaky words) can't we all get along. Fast larry is a good shot, and Blud is a great cue maker. His cues and reputation speaks for itself. Keep it up Blud.
 
pogiboy.....it is advisable to stay in your small shell as you really have no idea of what you speak of in comparing cues.......blud has been around a long time and will be there when alot of these new guys are long gone........juston coleman

Good day dennis, my pete's sell for $375.00, and the plain Jane cues start at $650.00...............

I haven't made a plain jane cue in over two years.
You can purchase a real nice cue with 8 to 10 points, for around $850.00.. By offering this type cue, the plain janes seem are not ordered to much any longer. Would love to build you one, sir.....Your choice, friend........
blud
PS,
Thanks for the defence from you guys. just another guy stiring crap..
Pay no attention to him.
I would assume that big daddy Don Purdy,[da -purd-man] and 10,000 others got screwed, over the years with lower class cues. You think??? :p ,,, .. hee hee.........

Don P. :cool:

Thanks, Mr. Purdy. I'm glad that you see through his ruse. He does have quite a hard-on for me, that he sneaks in a sucker-punch everytime he sees that I'm not around. So it did surprise me to see my name mentioned in the most current post that I opened.

Anyway, here's my view on other cuemakers:
I admire each and everyone for their conviction to this very challenging mix of engineering and art. Each one has his belief on the proper process to be taken on certain sections of the cue and I find that healthy for the craft and definitely for consumers. It's a lot of hard work that's why I salute those who have hung in there and faced all the downsides squarely and never gave up. The multitude of mistakes corrected through all the years of experience is what help make a cuemaker great.

To answer your question on how many I've made. I started repairing cues in the High Deserts of California (29 Palms) back in 1986 and eventually made my first cue in 1988. I don't get to make that many of my signature model (ER Cue) but do experiment a lot on my secondary brands (DocHolliday and Tirador) which gets the hand-me-down materials not suitable for ER's. Last year (2003), I only put out 32 ER cues and currently (March 2004) am only up to 9. I do a lot of experimentation and teaching others on my lower end models before a construction system or design is eventually executed in an ER Cue. There are less than 600 ER cues in existance and majority of which are in Japan and owned by members of the ER Cue Collectors Club of Japan.
Thank you again, Mr. Purdy.
