Check this out, Monster Cue Link To all the people who were picked on because of their 3-finger glove, just wait... there's more... Scroll to the bottom, the first thing is kinda funny too...

Thanks

I actually saw some guy using one of those cue shaft thingies. I could never in a million years bring myself to put one of those on. I also have seen a guy with a rubber tube (like a bicycle tube cut to fit) over his cues wrap. to give him more grip instead of changing it or going to leather. Funny what people think will be useful.

You older Phoenix area players might remember Dollar Jack from back in the 70s. Dollar Jack played with a dollar bill wrapped around his shaft. Hell, he might have invented this thing.

Kind of looks like those Chinese Handcuffs. LOL.
 
What the ....

The discription is the funniest part. I think I saw one of those in a vending machine in the mens room at a truckstop.

I have seen the dollar bills used before around here as well. To each their own I guess, I will stick with my "friction filled, moisture filled, powderless, drag filled unperfected stroke" rather than use something like that :)

Take that into a pool hall and it's GUARANTEED action

Take that with a neon purple graphite cuestick, and you've got action the whole year round.
 
I think if I were looking for action I would stick with the glove and maybe use my schlitz cue. Nice product though, I bet he sells a million of em'. I used to have sneaky pete I carried in a Kmart folding box case, put furnace tape on the ends to hold it together. I had guys begging me to play. You know I may buy 1 of those. Sam
 
I've seen some guy using one of these like a year ago or 2. Looked a bit dumb. Imagine if someone was wearing gloves and this at the same time lol. Oh the ridicule
 
Here is a funny story...

I was actually at an APA event in Vegas a few years ago doing some shows and I saw someone in the APA event wearing a home-made glove. It was one of those thick pick wool gloves that she cut out some fingers and made it into a pool glove. I saw it from a distance and it looked kind of strange but I couldn't figure out what it was. As I walked closer I saw what was so strange about it. The lady cut out the wrong fingers. She cut out the thumb, pointer, and middle finger so she was gripping the cue with her hand. The glove covered her palm and her ring finger and pinky. I guess she just wanted to keep the rest of her hand warm. Now there is a new idea!!!!!

Uh-Oh! I see a new product coming out: I bet the lady's glove was intended to keep her hand from getting dirty from the cloth. Quick! Somebody call a patent lawyer!

There is a guy around here I see playing with a ladies silk evening glove. You know the kind that goes up most of the forearm. He just pulls it as far as his wrist but it still looks weird as hell when he pulls it out.

it could be because she didnt want her hand dirty/it got irritated by chalk

earlier this winter the bottom part of my right-palm(i am left handed, so thats my bridge hand) got extremely cracked and dry from playing pool and constant exposure to chalk

That's exactly what I was thinking when I read your first post. I get a little rash on the palm of my bridge hand sometimes from the cloth because I play so much. The thought of something like this occurred to me too.

Have you ever played on a table that was dirty too? You have to keep washing your hands about every 15 minutes. This might help solve that problem too. Probably be better to find a cleaner table though.
 
I thought a guy I saw in Vegas was funny, he wore the 3 fingered glove and a batters glove for his grip.
 
Okay...all of those are some images that make me laugh. I have one for you:

At the Annual Beat the Pro Tournament in Orange Park, FL, many pool players lined up to play the pro, Buddy Hall. This one gentleman stepped up. Older fellow, had the biker attire on...Harley shirt, Harley black boots, bandana, whole nine yards, but all around was a pretty nice guy. So, he is getting ready to shoot. He is literally stretching (to be funny...I don't know), jumping jacks, push ups, cartwheels...it was crazy. THEN he pulls out his cue...HAHA!! He had the entire butt wrapped in pink tape, like electrical tape. Swore that it made the grip much better. Don't get it, but whatever lifts your skirt!

I suspect this device is probably illegal, but damn, what a way to get some action on the road. I have always been partial to wearing a glove - all real (testosterone excess) pool players believe deep inside that they can beat anyone who wears a glove. Now, where can I get some of that pink tape??

Kyle,

It's funny that you mentioned a batters glove. My first Artistic Pool tournament was at Hippos in Utica, NY. I always used to masse without having my tip hit the felt. I would use a short poke stroke. Now I just pound into the felt and I get a ton more action, but back then that is how I did it. Anyway, I went to the tournament (2002 North American Artistic Pool Championship) and I saw how everyone else was doing some of the masse shots, especially the monster masse shots. I took a house cue and for about 30 minutes, I tried pounding into the felt. I didn't realize as I was doing this, but my hand was slightly slipping each time I tried the shot, rubbing against the rough house cue. After about 30 minutes of this, I had a blister which broke open, the same kind you get when you first play softball in April after a long winter of not playing. The blister was in a spot where it caused me pain with any kind of stroke, not just a masse. Luckily I had my softball gear in my car so I went out and got my batting glove and wore that on my grip hand for the rest of the tournament. I had a shooting glove on my left hand as well. It was pretty funny but it worked.
