What is Robley's story by the way? Just wondering, as it might get him more votes.
Pretty much what I posted Power.
I don't know exactly what type of disability he has and don't want to speculate. I do know that at one time, Robley did mention it but I can't remember. When talking to him, he kind of down plays it a bit and doesn't dwell on it. If I had to recall, I would say back and has problems walking and standing at the table for long periods. That doesn't stop him tho.
I do know that what little money he does receive due to that, he looks after his Mom and he does give his friends money. So for that I can say that although he may not have much, he is very giving and asks nothing in return.
Robley's first tourney was in NO. Ray, (Big Truck) drove over from Texas and got him to NO. Many AZers donated money for his expenses. I was a little short at the time so I sent him a new case and break cue. Someone sent him a used playing cue. I think it may have been Norwood but not sure.
As evidenced by his last showing, you can see that he is determined to live his dream.
I know from speaking to him and also his posts on AZ, that he very thankful for all that help and for his opportunities for lessons and opportunities to play in tournaments.
He is just a very nice young adult all the way around. I know that once again, if we can come thru for him, that he won't lets us down.
Ray once told me that thru the kind gestures of fellow AZers during the first tournament experience, that Robley has matured and it has helped immensely to overcome his disabilty, mentally because of this.
I was so happy when Ray told me this. He said it made a world of difference in Robley's attitude and outlook on life.
Thats why I am seriously hoping for the best for Robley. If things were different, I would be proud to call him my son.

Works for me, Robley it is! (I'm disabled as well, so I feel his pain)
Yes Robley would get my vote also! He is an active contributer on this board and he never brings any BS. He is respectful to others and takes care of his family. He has gotten some help along the way and always gives back to the forum and the sport.
I have followed him in the tournies and with a few PM'S and the Kid is the real deal.

I'll try and leave this short because I feel like the explanation is simple.
I have a friend who's been passionate about pool since before I met him when I first started college and he's never been an "equipment guy" but is perfectly content playing on any table with any cue given to him with any set of balls. In fact the most I've ever seen him excited or happy was when he finally got the chance to play new people during last year's regional ACUI tournament. He just qualified to participate in this year's ACUI tournament and I'd love to see our team go to nationals. He's a a typical filipino player with a pronounced piston stroke with typical filipino pro idols but hes capable of doing great things and I'd love to see him blessed with a cue he'd be proud to call his own and see what he'd be capable of doing with something other than crooked cues abused by college ball bangers.
You're doing a great thing btw, and I hope only the best for you. Early congratulations to the lucky person getting a (surely) beautiful cue! :thumbup:

Lopez family
Tommy Lopez was a young Juniors player in my wife's program for VNEA and a kind AZer donated a Joss cue for him with the help of 12squared. This was about 3 years ago. His goal was to save up and buy a Schon cue and redonate the Joss to another younger player. Tommy went to college after high school but due to his dad's heart attack awhile back, he quit school and is working to help with the bills. Dad is better now, I did see Tommy at his dad's league on crutches and his dad, Ray(wife is Gina) was playing with the Joss. They are a very positive and wonderful family, well liked in the league system and very giving in helping others in our area.
Great opportunity for whoever recieves your gift, thanks for doing this. Bill

Robley is a deserved individual for sure. His dedication the the game is impressive to say the least.
I'm not sure if Robley is looking for another cue. If he is looking for a cue, he is most deserved indeed.
If Mojocues is looking for an individual who needs a cue, he may want to ask the prospect if he actually needs a cue. Some players will want the cue just so they can sell it to the highest bidder. Not saying that's Robley's style at all, just sayin it is some player's style.
Robley can play exceptionally well, I just don't know if he needs or wants another cue.
An AZB horse is always a good horse, even if he only likes running against Silver horses.
With all due respect Joey and I do know what you are saying, but, if Robley were to receive the cue, there is no way he would sell it. I can pretty much guarantee you that one.
I love the idea of someone on az getting the cue...I think the whole board would enjoy it, its like paying it forward to everyone here. I met Robley in Vegas a few times...first on streams...very polite and I think just this thread alone is going to bring a smile to his face.
Robley...when you read this thread...it sure feels good having fans and friends...but when they're as nice as you are, its very cool!
I hope your the one Mr Robley
