I know this been ask before about one piece cue? But who got a one piece cue hidden away in a Bar or Pool Room?

Since, I'm too lazy to do a research in AZBilliards Forum.

I did carry a cheap looking one piece cue, with ivory ferrule and hard tip trumpet. Into the bars or my regular waterhole hidden in the corner by the bar!

It was a 55" Ramin wood cue.

So the question .... who else carry their own one piece cue?

Ramin wood?
With ivory ferrule? OMG. :oops: 🤪:poop:

Anyway, no I have never. But snooker players do. If you want to carry a one piece pool cue, just get a snooker cue case.

I have one "house cue". It's stored in a cardboard tube. I have thought about getting a snooker cue case for it, but I don't carry it anywhere. I just keep it because I might have it converted someday.

I used a pvc tube ... cap at bottom and thread cap at top, while traveling
 
just get a 10 buck thrift store cue that is straight. will do fine in bars and leave in your car in the most cheap ragged soft case you can find.

anyone playing in a bar nowadays for money will have a cue.
and in bars always tell everyone you are a real good player. then you don't get called out. they like you better also.

if you cant beat everyone in a bar with a 10 buck cue please leave and go to banger billiards.com.

You hit the point! Do Bar players need an expensive cue or just a cue that can do the job. In other word can I win just as much money with a 10 buck cue , as I could with a 1000.00 buck cue.

I used to work in a pool hall when I was a kid and I repaired the cues.

I would always find the one that I liked best at the time and fix it up and stash it behind the bar.

When I went to other places to play money games, I would take it wiith me.

The first road hustler I saw sneaking a one-piece cue into our pool hall was Jack Taylor from Texas, Alfie's brother.

He was the one who first introduced me to LePro tips and he put one on my one-piece cue.

What 9b? I started playing rotation on 5 x 10 in the '50, pea pool,before it was call ring game.... From Southern Illinois ( Johnston City area) before you change diaper. Play 8ball, more for your quarter in the '60. Now I just too old to worry about pool youth today, other than promotion pool/billiard. My money come elsewhere!!

sounds like you play because you enjoy the challenge the game presents, winning or losing is secondary.

hi Bob,

I did have one I always used in a bar I went to a lot. (been like 50 or so years) there was a 22 oz that everyone left alone cause it was heavy but it had the best tip in the house.

didn't have a favorite in the pool rooms, but you could always find someone elses favorite cause they would mark them with a cigarette burn.

there was one room on the west side had all titlists on the wall. then there was the other extreme all the cues in the 3 bowing alleys (the ones with 9 footers) were straight out of a wc fields movie.

m.c.
