Dixie, now that you're experienced, maybe it's time you moved up in cue quality? Here it is...a cue that a wag on a pool site I visit dubbed "The Vagina Cue". I don't think it was designed by accident.

Thank you, I believe I'll stick with what I have for now. My cue is still better than I am. Don't get me wrong. I've definitely improved. The typical casual player considers me pretty good, but you and I know that's small praise.

Back in the early 70's used to play pool in Brooklyn New York. The rave was Balabushka pool stick. Russian dude that was very talented in wood work.
