How Many Cues Do You Have?

[pwd72s]

Cues...Hooboy. Not many. I used to think that if I ever found that "magic" one...but truth be known, it's not the arrow, it's the indian...

Plamer Model "M", 2nd catalog, original tips on both shafts, and yes, that's my name in the foil under the clear ring. Very seldom play with it. Too much an invitation to be mugged these days, like flashing a Rolex in the wrong neighborhood. I've never been much for "bling"...I bought this one "back in the day" as a favor to a friend who got a great deal if he bought two of 'em.

Plain jane Jacoby J-2...cocobolo. a standard shaft , plus just bought a Tiger X shaft with sniper tip from our host. That's going to take some learning.

Break cue is a cheap-oh Chinese "Palmer" sneaky pete. Stiff shaft with a hard tip, wood to wood joint. 19 oz...and it can smash a rock.

My wife also has a Jacoby J-2, all maple. We share the break cue.

Another cheap-oh Chinese "Palmer" in a soft case. It is a loaner...for guests. I don't like loaning my good cues.

Nothing really special, but we're just casual players...something to do for recreation when we decide to get out of the house for a while. We try to improve, but we just don't get out enough to put in the hours needed to get better.

Hey, it's supposed to be about fun, right?

2 South West....(1)Satin, (1) 6 point Tulipwood
1 Tad....Martin style players cue from early 90's
2 Schon's.....both wrapless (1) cocobolo sneaky pete made in Runde/Clark transition (1) ebony inlaid with ivory and turquoise.
1 Casey Dehmer sneaky pete. (Local guy, great cue)
1 Viking....old early mid '80s nylon wrapped beauty

The lineup is always changing and subject to the whims of management.

I play with all of them. Till they're gone. Then I play with the new one. Till its gone. I am sick.

If I had your cues, I wouldn't want to let them go either. Well maybe the Dale Perry.

1 Bluegrass
1 Capone
1 Skip Weston
2 Scruggs (SP, 4 ebony points)

1 Omen
1 Espiritu
1 Predator (got it autographed, Had to keep it!)

Thank you for sharing, ton of great replies and insight.....

Question for those of you with like 50+ cues - where do you keep them??? Do you have an office or something just to store those bad boys I'm guessing really nice, tall cases that showcase twenty-thirty cues each

Got a buddy who's a big golfer, he has an entire room full of the golf clubs he used over the last 30 years....guessing you guys are kinda like that....

Thanks again...

Haven't forgotten about your request for pictures
of Dominiak. My wife does pictures and posting.
She works late and our life is in chaos. Sorry.

Hi All

Hate to admit it, however I have:

90+ Meucci Originals (the old ones with the block letters), several of which are custom 1 of a kinds.
1 very old Brunswick that has a square butt and forearm and umteen hundred small inlays.
1 old, gold letter Joss.
1 limited edition Helmstetter.
2 great Philippine sticks loaded with ivory.
3 Dominiak Qs.

Many of the above sticks are autographed by pro women and men.

Mostly, for my league shooting I use a signed 1/1 Gracie Cortes with a custom Tiger X shaft and Sniper tip, or a 1/1 Wm Dominiak with the Dominator shaft and Sniper tip. http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=30726&highlight=dominiak Sorry, no pic of the Gracie Cortes.
Wish I could shoot up to the level of the Qs.

I own 4, not counting a few reaaally crappy ones, more coming. I'm surprised though only 10% of the voters own two or less cues, I would have guessed 30% at least, I owned only one or two cues for years.
