jim was a 9 ball champ. does anyone know who made it i was told it was one cue of 6 made.

My guess is that Jim designed it but I am not sure how you would find out who actually made it.  Lots of great players actually know how to make cues, and judging by the way you say there were only 6 made maybe he made it himself.

No its "unique" to the Us open, due to the fact its run by the USGA rather than the PGA, plus if you saw, its only a par 70 not a par 72 as most other courses are yet it was exactly the same length as a par 72, just set up to be 2 strokes shorter, hence the fact all the scores were in "over" par!!!

Hello shorty\n\n32 for 9 holes and 67 for 18 on a par 70. Even par is a great round on any golf course, you did good.\n\nMost folks dont realise how good an even par round is, but I do.\n\nPlay well and I wish for a -5 round for you soon.\n\nLeon

Yes, I play pool. You need to find a cue that has a good tip and feels good in your hand. Plan on spending a couple hundred dollars for a solid cue, most cues you get for under 100 dollars are just glorified bar cues. Plan on spending a couple hundred and look at btrands like Mcdermott, viking and some other quality brands, then you know youre getting a good cue.

If you are making the conscious decision that this will be a "starter" cue for your husband, then it may be alright to order one without testing it first.  Don't spend any real amount of money on this cue though.  I would choose a medium to lighter weight cue, something around 19 oz., just because you may not know how heavy your husband prefers it.  The tip does come with the cue, although replacement tips can be bought separately.  Viper would be a fine starter cue.  The standard diameter shaft is 13mm.  If you have a choice, go with a harder tip.  I could elaborate if this was going to be a more permanent cue, but we'll save that for when the time comes.  Best of luck.  M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.

I think when Richard Jefferson threw an alley oop pass to Jason Kidd, and then Kidd, instead of scoring, tipped it to Vince Carter, who then layed the ball up off the glass.  It was like a volleyball set.  I might have the players in the wrong order, but that was what happened.  It was just a few weeks ago.  I think that was awsome.

In my opinion i think the perfect game in bowling is the hardest. Why, because you have 12 times the throw a ball down a lane and hope that, each time you throw it, you knock over 10 pins.  I've had better luck getting close to a hole in one the first year i played golf in high school.  The home run would be a little easier for me then any of the others.  Hit one back in high school on a 350 field from a coach that used to play in the minors

Tom Kite and Ben Crenshaw used to play a game to help improve bunker shots and chip shots.  The first person hit the ball as close to the selected target without going past.  The next person can't pass the other person's ball.  So the shot keeps getting shorter until someone hit's it to far.  The person will lose the bet

7-10-1? three pins? that's much easier than just 7-10. take a 8 lb ball, go from left and aim at the right of the 1 pin. let the 1 bounce and hit the 7 while the ball will also bounce to hit the 10! Got it?

Stick to Riley - they're the best! I've had mine for over 15 years and, through advice, my friends have bought the same. No problems to report so why look for something different. I can't believe it's going to change your game that much. If anything, I get a buzz out of saying that my cue is very old (a bit like me) but it still works as well as it used to.\nOn a serious note, if you are worried about the type of wood, weight etc. then buy your cue from a snooker club. Most clubs will allow you to 'try out' the cue before purchase which may put you at ease.\nYes, I suppose that you will feel more confident with a 'good' cue in your hand but, personally, I don't think it matters that much.\nI could rabble on for ages but I don't know how good you are or could become so what I say could be fruitless.\nDon't spend a fortune on a dream. A lot of the top snooker players started out with not much more than a piece of wood with a chalked tip at the end.\nIf you are not thinking of going professional or such-like spend your money on more play rather than the tools you work with.\nGood luck - I'll look out for your name!

All the other answers are wrong. It is a game of skill played on an English billiards table. There are 21 balls (15 red, 1 black, 1 pink, 1 blue, 1 brown, 1 green and 1 yellow) plus the cue ball (white).\n\nEach player takes turns to play on a red ball and after each red is potted it stays down and the player chooses which coloured ball to play on. If he pots that, the coloured ball comes back up. After all the reds are potted, the coloured balls are played in turn.\n\nWorld champions sometimes manage to clear the board in a single break with maximum points (147). This achieved by potting 15 reds, each one followed by a black; then the six colours in order. \n\nThe game takes considerable skill and makes American pool look like a children's game.

Did you happen to record the game on tape or DVD?  I was trying to record it, and for some reason I was unable to.  If you did, can I get a copy from you?  I will take care of all the costs...\nTHANKS!\nElisa

Opinions are going to vary on which cues are best. In that price range I think Players,Lucasi,or Action would be good choices. Most cues will be available in 18oz and 13mm tips would be standard. I suggest going with a cue with a maple shaft, which all of the above would have. I'm not a fan of the cuetec, or scorpion cues with the graphite shaft. Each to his own I guess. Good luck.

When I bowled as a beginner and just starting out in the sport, my league was called "Beginners Luck".  Cool league where there were no sandbaggers, showoffs or wannabe fake professional bowlers.  Everyone was starting out and new.  It was a lot of fun and hope that it works out for you guys!
