This is disturbing...

Not to mention the sturdyness

This is why I have always liked a full splice not only for the hit, but for the HIT.
 
Another idea is to not use a cue at all, but to grab the balls. You can throw them from a safer distance, and in a tighter distance you can cosh heads with them. And you've got 16 balls. Remember, every ball is a new opportunity.
 
I suppose we all need to go out and buy 4x8's since I'm seeing a need now to carry 4 cues: Player/Break/Jump, and now a dedicated "Collection" cue, preferably cored with rebar.
 
cue fight

I had a Triple Cross Cue (with cocobola handle) shaft broken over a guys head in a bar fight. It took three whacks to split the shaft. The whackee went to the floor first (out cold) and the hospital later. He said he saw stars for several days.

So the new Triple Cross Cue Slogan is:
Three strikes and their out!!!!!!!

I made a free shaft for the whacker after the courtcase was settled. Its still going strong.

The joint end is more properly applied to ribs and gizzards. If having the misfortune to have snatched up your own cue butt better to use the ends of it than to use the middle anyway although a sharp crack across the bridge of the nose with the wrap area of a cue butt can be an attention getter when you are just trying to get someone's attention.

There is more to this that I suspected....

Sounds like there could be some training involved....

Will you offer classes?

They also make great tire checkers. You should see the wooden clubs I have seen at truck stops being sold as tire checkers. Yeah right!
 
Every time someone uses a pool cue in a bar fight, we, as an industry, take one step back in our quest to convince the TSA that cues are not weapons. For the love of the game, for the love of cues, for the sake of traveling players' sanity, please just throw a bowling ball at the guy next time?
 
Been my experience that there are some pretty hard heads out there.

Busted a guy, who came after me with a knife, over the head with the butt of Muecci and it didn't slow him down but he dropped the knife. The second whack caught him in the mouth relocating a few teeth to the carpet but it still didn't stop him.

The third shot I hit him on the collar bone and it dropped him like a rock.

Now, the collar bone on their strong side is my choice of targets if anything ever jumps off again.

Best three shots I ever made with that Muecci. Didn't like that stick anyway. Too much deflection.

As the saying goes: "The beatings will continue until morale improves."

Back when tappers were only a buck we were just hanging around the bar and kinda watching some guys shoot pool. I had overheard them at the beginning of the game talk about playing for a tapper or a buck. One guy was using a house cue the other his own cue. Fast forward to end of game, guy with own cue wins but other guy wont pay up for some reason. The own cue guy slowly starts taking his cue apart then calmly walks up behind house cue guy and hits him over the head with it, HARD! The butt end of cue breaks clear in half, house cue guy is on the floor out cold bleeding all over. Then house cues friend gives own cue guy the beating of his life. Ambulance had to come get house cue guy, he was still out cold for at least 10-15 minutes, not sure what ended up happening with either guy, but all this crap over 1 lousy dollar bill, wtf? Never did get to see what kinda cue it was but it did look nice till he broke it.

There are some hard headed people in this world. How did the guy's head come out of the encounter? The man may have been in jail for murder if he had grabbed the house cue instead of the Schon.

My understanding is that there was a fair amount of blood involved but he refused to go to the hospital.

BTW, I'm picking up the busted butt tomorrow and will post pics. :cool:
