JimBo's collection

Well Jimbo

You tried to roast my nuts I see. When you find out you are very wrong about statements you made in my playing cue thread I will expect no apologies from you. If you get about 20 more cues that hit a ton then add them all together and then spend oh lets say $3,500 on a Cochran cue then you will know what I am talking about maybe! That is not alot of money to us but I wounder if you hit with a great cue how would you know it was as good as your Muecci's?
It is like Dennis Searing and I said to each other one day if you can't play you might be bragging about something that is true in your mind but not my world!
Hits a ton Monster player statements should be reserved for people that have run at least 10 racks of straight or 9 ball!
Just my thoughts! And if you do play that good then I apologise. But I don't think so!

:D I just thought that I would make a comment here for Jeff Duke, Shorty, Matthew Staton, and all of you other guys out there who love to give me bad rep, get banned, keep registering under new screen names and continuing in the tradition.

You see all those little green balls under my screen name??? I don't care if there are 8 or 80. I don't care if they are green, red, or plaid. I don't care what you say about me. Keep the bad rep coming. But understand that no matter what you say about me or the rep you leave, no matter how many times you post, delete, and subsequently get banned, you still prove yourselves to be a bunch of idiots and nits.

Thanks for the fun boys. And let me forewarn you, I can keep this going as long as you want (and most likely even longer than you'd like).:D

I guess I don't get your point. Is it any wonder why people say that there are cue snobs here?

So, if anyone on these boards buys 20 more cues that hit a ton, and then spend $3500 on a cue from Mike, what exactly would we find out? I'm missing something.

Me Thinks!

Me thinks that The Great One blows his own horn so loud it hurts my ears. If you have to be able to run 10 racks or 150 balls to have an opinion I guess then I don't have one. Although it is my opinion you do blow just a little too hard.

I think he's saying that all of them put together wouldn't hit as good as the $3500 Cochran?

First off, and I have no bone to pick with you Nick, but I highly doubt the $3500 Cochran would hit any better than, say, a Joss. Just reality. In fact, most customs I have played with don't play any better or worse than a high end production cue. Just comes to down to rewarding yourself with a one of a kind and supporting cuemakers that we care about IMO.
Second, why the need to spend $3500 on a playing cue? I guess if you can afford it, great, but I always considered cues in that range to be collectors, not necessarily players.

Again, I have no bone to pick but I guess I just don't understand your logic.

Regards,
Koop

while I dislike duke as much as the next, why do you need to mention Bob Dzuricky in the post? I mean I know he is Duke's favorite maker, but that shouldn't be a slight on dz cue's should it?

Not a knock I didn't mention anything about the quality of the cues, just a comment on the value, and I think as we all know cues are only worth what someone will pay.

Thanks Lil buddy!
But I have to share some shocking news about the collection.

I have been offered a trade for my collection and I am seriously taking it into consideration. I am talking with a few respected members of this group as to what my move should be. All I can say is stayed tuned to see if there are any updates.

I never tried to roast your nuts.

When you find out you are very wrong about statements you made in my playing cue thread I will expect no apologies from you.

I didn't make any comments about your playing cue, I did try to explain what you obviously were not able to convey in words. If I was wrong in my explination it would only be because I didn't personally talk to Mike, Tim or hold the cue. I also never made any bad remarks about the cue since I happen to LOVE Tim and Mike, and I also think they do some of the best work in the cue biz, Tim is a Hall of Famer IMO.

If you get about 20 more cues that hit a ton then add them all together and then spend oh lets say $3,500 on a Cochran cue then you will know what I am talking about maybe!

I'm sure I know more about what you are talking about then you'll ever know, but that doesn't change anything that I've said to you.

That is not alot of money to us

Who is US?? and what are you talking about???

but I wounder if you hit with a great cue how would you know it was as good as your Muecci's?

I'll have to ask you again, DO YOU REALIZE THAT HIT IS SUBJECTIVE???


It is like Dennis Searing and I said to each other one day

You said this to each other?? or is this just another lame attempt to name drop??? How do you say the same exact thing to one another? Wouldn't one of you say it and the other just agree??

if you can't play you might be bragging about something that is true in your mind but not my world!

So now you're telling me Dennis Searing also doesn't know that Hit is Subjective.

Hits a ton Monster player statements should be reserved for people that have run at least 10 racks of straight or 9 ball!

That would meen that nobody other then pro players know if a cue hits good, the list of players who can run 10 straight racks of nine ball is very slim, it's only been done less then a handfull of times in a pro event. I think you are talking about less then 200 people world wide and some of them are pros who play with the worst hitting cues in the world (think Earl & Archer)
Just my thoughts! And if you do play that good then I apologise. But I don't think so!

I'm glad you don't feel I play good, you are a complete moron if you feel only people who can run 10 racks in a row are good players, and even dumber if you believe that only good players can tell if a cue feels good to them. But still the main question that we all need to hear your answer to.

Do you realize that *HIT* is *SUBJECTIVE*?????

It's not a hard question, take your time answering.

My logic is simple you needed to read on. If you don't play good enough to know a great cue when you have it in your hands how can you say hits a ton or great player? Wow I drew the ball 9 feet! No wow I ran a rack once was it 3 ball or nineball! No! Holy molie I can't believe the way this thing controls the rock! Now you are talkin!
IMO Nick
Lots of cuemakers say the same thing. Also yes Mikes cues are not ment for players but the cues are awesome players!

Well genius Jimbo

When you can play hit is objective because you know exactly what you are doing! Nothing subjective about it.
But in your case hit is very subjective FOR SURE!!!!!!
Am I using to many big words because that is as nice as I can say YOU ARE A KNOCKER and I HEAR YOU KNOCKIN BUT YOU CAN"T COME IN!!
Good luck with the dictionary here!
Nick
 
Bow-Wow!

You sure are some cue promoter you just killed 99.9% of Mikes market. I noticed though that you did manage to blow your your horn again Oh
Great One.

OK, but that still doesn't explain why any top player can "control the rock" with a finely shaped broomstick.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree because I don't think I follow you.

Does that mean that you know that Mike's cue is a great player?

Well true story

I let one person hit with it so far he owns a Hershick and a Nice Scruggs and he ordered one three days later so maybe I am nuts! But the cue speaks for itself.
Also Jimbo how does it feel when someone butts into your thread!
And I know what objectivity and subjectivity are but I mught not be able to spell them! Sorry all but this man just is a little to pompous for me and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out you are a CRAB and your birthday is on your Scruggs cue. As usual I am sure I am wrong! Bet something!
Also that is what Dennis and I said to each other! And yes the better you play the better you can use yoyr talent when you have a great playing cue. And yes It takes a great player to know just how a cue really plays.
I work for a living. The only successful gamble I have ever knew was in my family. Those odds don't excite me. I grew up around people like Jimi Rempe and Gary Penkowski and Allen Keil and they were all great but I never saw the future in pool as they did. The last time I took all of July off I did run alot of racks 13 and 11 of nine ball. But I really could care less. I work for a living. Some of you guys need to get a life!
