Been playing for over 45 years. Have not purchased a cue in well over 20 years.
Wanting to move into the new millennium, this is my recent purchase: Carbon Fiber Shaft with real Abalone and intricate white wood, ebony, and orange walnut inlays on 5 points with a tri-sectional embossed leather wrap! Beautiful cue!
The BIGGEST surprise is that I don't play any better with it!
Do you enjoy billiards and bowls? Show off your favorite stick
The only pool I play is cow pasture pool. But that's a very nice stick. I've seen some fancy pool cues before, but that one is very beautiful and stylish. Congrats!
The Indians will not bother you now, on account of ... you are touched.
I grew up in a pool table house. Love the game, but play like an amateur hack. As a young man I had a couple of so-so custom cues. I don't really even know what became of them.

That pool cue is beautiful. Do you have another one for righteous beating purposes? Be a shame to damage that one!
This one was given to me by my friend Ben... Ben Dover
I carried a very similar one when I was younger behind the bench seat of my truck with the case unzipped. Never knew when an unexpected game of billiards might arise!

I've occasionally beaten a fellow or two at a bar, but I just winged it and don't have real skill. I've also occasionally run into real poolsharks, which is why I'm glad I don't play for money.
For the record, I have never beaten a man with a pool cue. I think I should make that clear.

After nearly 30 years, here are some of the ball sets I have acquired. I change them out every week to keep things interesting:
This first set is by VIGMA and was commissioned as a fund raiser for wounded veterans in the late 90's [/URL] [URL=http://imgbox.com/e0vpKiHf] Here is a set called "Prestige Elite." There were only 200 of these made. Very hard to come by these days. Again about 20 years old. Just for fun, here is a collection of 8 balls I have picked up through the years. It's enough to practice with a table full of 8's Classic "Brunswick Centennials" This "Poker Pool" set comes with some fun games. I like to mix these balls in with other sets to replace the 8 or 9 ball for fun. This is a very popular modern maker called "Dynaspheres" from China. These are called "Palladium" These were made by a company called "Elephant Balls" back in the 90's. This set is called "Beautiful Balls" I will post some other cool sets later.
This is an amazing set called "GoBocce" for playing Bocce on the pool table. The rules are a little different but it's a lot of fun. If you ever see a set of these, grab them. Very collectable and a lot of folks on Ebay will pay a surprising sum for this little set if in very good condition. Just having the small logo tape measure with it adds another $20 dollars or more to the price!
