I use a Dufferin sneaky pete break stick (16oz) , a Dufferin snooker cue 16oz) and a Falcon pool cue (17oz) which is basically a copy of a Joss. 10.5mm on the snooker cue ,11mm on the break stick and 11.5mm on the pool cue. Any questions on weight/ ferrule sizes you probably won't get an answer lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss going to tourneys as there was always a cue guy there doing work on cues (cleaning and resealing/ retipping or rewrapping and you could always get something done.

I like the way the weight pulls me through. Ever since I was young (we had a pool hall in town when I was growing up) I used a 'bigger stick', usually because they were the straightest house sticks in the joint.

smokin george Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I remember watching Mike Masse run 3 centuries on a snooker table many years ago and the best part was when he took off his suit jacket off and did some one arm push-ups. Pretty impressive for a big guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn I miss playing Yup , I love the feel of a cue that has just been cleaned up in a lathe. I really miss playing in large state tourneys with my old team as well. The last team I played with finished 3rd place at state 3 years out of 6. My best finish in singles was top 8. The difference between the top 10 or 20 players in all three divisions isnt much. We were VNEA sanctioned and played valley rules 8 ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have all the power I need and can crush the break. Most were 6 balls and by breaking out of the box I like where the one ball ends up the majority of the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin george Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 A buddy and I were down in Columbus years ago and he drew Jeanette Lee in a mixed tourney and she had him stuck.

smokin george Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I have to pick Alex Pagulyan as still my favourite player to watch as far as the Philippine connection goes and a tough pick for the US guys although I like Cory. Archer is like watching paint dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
