Great cues and interviews. Tom needs you guys to tell a few stories for "Recollection cues."
I enjoyed the read but have one question- who wins at one hole- you or Andy?

Take care,

It depends if he gets me talking or drinking while we play I can't win. You have to watch Andy and make sure he keeps one foot on the floor when he shoots he says the rule from La is one foot in the building.

Travis, Andy's not pullin' your leg about the "one foot in the building" rule in Louisiana. I shot pool there for 15 years and although I never saw anybody climb up on a bar box, a lot of folks laced up their hiking boots and climbed up on the 8 footers (and never-mind the big track)!
Bet it gets interesting when you hook 'em on the stack and he decides to just climb up on the table!

"To make a good cue you need to play to a reasonable level. There are a lot of subtleties built into a cue that you wouldn’t recognize if you weren’t a player. How would you know otherwise? Certain shots just aren’t there if the cue’s not good, and you need to be able to recognize that." - Mike Durbin

THIS is the golden nugget in the interviews IMO! It's rare to find a cue maker who can play whose cues don't play good. And the cue makers who can REALLY play make cues that reflect their skill on the pool table.
