Your playing cue vs playing off the wall?

[Bob Jewett]

... The other trick was to grab a crooked stick. Everybody rolled sticks on the tables, including me. Most wanted a straight stick, I wanted a good tip and halfway smooth shaft area so that usually meant a crooked stick that saw little use. When the tip jumped up and down an inch and I said "straight enough" it marked me as a pigeon.

It's remarkable how many people don't know how to make a bent cue play as if it is straight.

If it's straight, has a good tip and doesn't have french fry grease all over it.
That eliminates a large number of house cues.


I suppose it depends on how serious you are about pool.

I have yet to see a serious match where either player used a house cue.

Lee Norton from Omaha played with a bar cue for 20+ years, I don't even know if he owned a cue. He would find a good one and they would keep it in the back room for him. He also used a scotch bright pad constantly and his tip would be 12-13mm and his shaft had to be close to 10-11 mm sometimes, those things got thin.

Our little 29 Table Community Pool Room open next Tuesday, people will be crying. No House Cue, because of Covid -19.

No more then 2 people per table, on 1/2 tables will be used, because of Covid - 19.:angry:

No personal Cue, guess you can not play.

All House Cue have been sent to Covid - 19 Jail.

Hmm, no house cues and no personal cues? Whatcha gonna do, shoot 'em like big marbles?
