Well the pictures I took sure dont do the cue justice! I picked this cue up last year off of one of Bob's friends. I think this was Bob's playing cue at one time. Much like the pictures I took, the ones I looked at when I was going to buy it sure didnt show the true beauty of the cue. I drove to Madison to pick the cue up so I could bring it back here and sell it to one of my friends that has been collecting his cues. When Scott pulled the cue out of his case I knew it was one I was going to keep :D

After I bought the cue Scott took me out to Bobs house where I had the pleasure of meeting Bob and his son, and was able to spend a few hours out in their shop looking at equipment and talking cues. Bob is one of those type of people that after you meet him you know you have made a new friend. If your ever in the market for a new cue I recommend looking into one of his cues, you wont be sorry.

(No Im not a dealer, yet :D )

The inlays aren't Ivory and please learn to focus your camera, I have a headache from looking.

I said the inlays arent Ivory, and I also said the pictures were not good. Its a cheap camera and I dont claim to be a photographer. But thanks for you input.

Send it on over to me Woody and I'll snap some pictures for you...lol. I'm no better of a photographer, but I've got a nice camera that makes up for a lot of my shortcomings!

Don't pay any attention to Jimbo, Woody. He has a defective gene...he is incapable of just refraining from making a comment...he HAS to make a snide comment. It's how he gets his jollies. He almost NEVER bothers to read carefully before he makes his comments and he frequently ends up making a fool of himself (such as this time) because he either fails to read or fails to comprehend what he reads. Just ignore him.

BTW, nice cue.
 
Nice cue... I agree, Jimbo get a life or go get laid or something... 500+ posts and probably a handfull of positive posts. Get a grip dude. Its people like you that make this website look like its ran by a bunch of clowns. Where are the moderator's? Someone needs to filter this guys HOT AIR!!!
 
Very nice cue.I love the colors used.And also jimbo always steps in says something about your camera or your cue.

Yes Woody only pay attention to people who say what you want to hear, that's a great way to go through life.

He has a defective gene...he is incapable of just refraining from making a comment...

This is a forum for information sharing, it's not a place to go to hear nice things only, my post wasn't mean in spirite and I didn't insult his, in fact I couldn't even see enough of the cue to tell if I liked it.

he HAS to make a snide comment.

Again my comment about the photos was well deserved there is no reason for him to post those pics they were bad, work that out before you post, I'm not asking him to take pictures like Icon, just pics that we can tell it's a cue.

It's how he gets his jollies. He almost NEVER bothers to read carefully before he makes his comments and he frequently ends up making a fool of himself (such as this time) because he either fails to read or fails to comprehend what he reads. Just ignore him.

Yes ignore me like Gerry does LOL, thanks for the kind words Gerry. BTW you said nice cue, how could you tell??LOL

Jimbo...come on, man! You're exaggerating. The photos weren't great, that much is true...the guy's not a photographer. He admitted that right up front. But, they aren't so bad that you can't get the idea of what the cue looks like. Not everybody is the be-all end-all of photography that you are. Yeah, I could tell it's a nice cue, and you could too if you weren't so set on acting like a jerk. And, yes...your post was, in fact, mean in spirit (not unusual...in fact, quite expected of you). It's not a Ginacue, but you know what? It's what Woody likes, it's his cue and he's as proud of it as you would be of a Gina. You have a problem with that?

He also SAID that the inlays weren't Ivory (the part you apparently failed to read).

Yeah, you're right..this is a forum for information sharing. It's not a forum for ripping on people because you don't like their photography skills. The comments were NOT well deserved and it's not your place to decide who can post what photos. If you don't like them, don't look at them. It's simple...I assume the back button on your keyboard works?

If I'm exaggerating then you're underplaying it. The point is the pictures were blurry, it was a digital camera, not film there is no reason why anyone would take a blurry pic. I am not claiming to be a photographer, all I'm saying is that it's not hard to take a CLEAR shot, it doesn't have to be the quality of Icon's pics, but CLEAR so we can see the cue. I don't think that's a lot to ask of anyone, I doubt you'd post pics like that and I wouldn't either, to me it's common sense.

the guy's not a photographer. He admitted that right up front. But, they aren't so bad that you can't get the idea of what the cue looks like.

I think they are, I think they are very bad, and I'm no photographer either.

Not everybody is the be-all end-all of photography that you are.

I never claimed to be any such thing, all I said was post clear pics, not 1 of them was clear.

Yeah, I could tell it's a nice cue, and you could too if you weren't so set on acting like a jerk.

I'm glad you could see threw the blur and you knew it was good, It gave me a headache.BTW I wasn't the only one, just the only one willing to post it.

And, yes...your post was, in fact, mean in spirit (not unusual...in fact, quite expected of you).

I'm sorry you have such thin skin and I'm sorry you're the spokesman for the group, but I'm not hear to kill you with kindness, if you don't like the tone of my posts then just scroll past them, I'm sure your mouse works right??? BTW Maybe if you didn't read the name on top and just read my posts without prejudice you'd have a different opinion.

It's not a Ginacue, but you know what? It's what Woody likes, it's his cue and he's as proud of it as you would be of a Gina. You have a problem with that?

I never commented on the cue because I couldn't see it clear enough to judge it. I'm no cue snob and I wasn't trying to disparage the man's cue, I just commented on his blurry photos. I understand that you trying to put words in my mouth helps your case that I'm just a mean and evil dude, but it's just not the case.

He also SAID that the inlays weren't Ivory (the part you apparently failed to read).

He asked if certain parts were ivory, if I were the evil person you make me out to be I would have said that nobody on this board can tell from pics (specially not his) if something is real ivory. In today’s world of synthetics the fake stuff is very hard to tell from the real stuff.

Yeah, you're right..this is a forum for information sharing. It's not a forum for ripping on people because you don't like their photography skills.

I didn't rip on the guy I ripped on his pictures, NOT HIS CUE, NOT HIM, His pictures, try to get it right, I know you want so bad to make me out to be some evil menace to the world.

The comments were NOT well deserved and it's not your place to decide who can post what photos.

You start this by claiming I exaggerate and all you did this whole post was exaggerate and try to villainize me, I've never told anyone they shouldn't post pictures of their personal cues, I've never told anyone they should only post ginacues, you my friend are the one who exaggerates.

If you don't like them, don't look at them. It's simple...I assume the back button on your keyboard works?

I assume you realize that your opinion means no more or less then mine and the fact that you love or hate a cue has no effect on me or what I think of it. I suggest you continue to post your opinion and skip over mine if you feel it's something you can't handle. I can assure you that mine will be honest and I'll stand behind it

Well.... let's recap:

to which JimBo replies:

JimBo said:

Anything snide in that? Looks like a confirmation to me.

and furthermore:

JimBo said:

to which DawgAndy replied:

DawgAndy said:
I second that, pass the asprin.
Both looked ribbing, but certainly not out of the question. The pictures are fuzzy.

Words are words. Just read them and move on.
