Welcome to my little corner pocket of the internet! Here you will find a variety of rants, thoughts, tips, tutorials and a myriad of other tidbits from around the web all regarding the world of pool.

I am a hobbyist player and have no delusions of playing on a professional level, however I aim to be an honor student of the game and as such I have embarked on the tremendous journey of trying to learn as much about every game I can find. I am a rotation game player (9-ball, 10-ball) primarily, but I also enjoy 14.1, banks, one-pocket and 3-cushion when I get the chance.
Look around and please leave me some feedback if have any.

Treadway Cues - My First Custom!!

Posted on 12. January 2012 15:46 by Johnny

I'm just a mere 3 weeks away from receiving my first custom cue!!!  Local cuemakter, Josh Treadway and I have been talking back and forth about a custom for some time now.  A situation came up that allowed us to finally get the deal going.  Well, now it's neary complete and I seriously could not be more excited!  He's been sending me pics along the way of it's build and with each one I get more and more amped up!  The last one he sent had the rings and the joint in it.  Then three days later he calls and said "I hit some balls with your cue today. And I'm not gonna show you any more pics."  SUCH A TEASE!! I picked the wood, the veneers, the wrap, the joint, the shaft diameter, the weight, the buttcap - and even helped him figure out a way to do a new feature for his cues: screw-on extensions!!  I am SO stupid excited it's ridiculous.

Here's the last teaser he sent me:

 

Obviously, this is before any of the finish-work has begun.  But, I can't believe I'm this close to finally getting a real custom cue!!!

Make sure you all go check out Treadway Cues!!
