Default Nothing like a new pool cue

To make all in the world seem right

Finally came in today so I went and picked it up. Gonna go shoot a coupe racks tomorrow with it and fine tune the weighting. We got it pretty well dialed in today but test shots and in game play is a bit different from each other.

There is Hot Shots over in Beaverton which is a pretty good family joint. I have 10 hours on tab there so if you come into town hit me up and we can go play a couple racks.

I usually play at the hall here in Newberg once or twice a week because I can have a cig and a drink while I play. Pretty chill spot with mostly a few locals and the college kids stopping in once in a while.

You know to be honest I forget what brand I got h:

It's setup as a medium/hard at 20.5 right now but probably going to bring that down a bit more into the 19 maybe 18 range. I am most likely going to be picking up a McDermott soft joint this summer and put an ivory ferral with leather tip on it and use this one as my breaking stick or general bar shooting stick.

I have a Cuetec. It's white. I call it my white power stick.

I ws looking at those and tried one out. Didn't think I would like synthetic cues but they weren't as bad as they used to be and actually felt pretty decent.

For a decent stick expect to start at about $100 and up. Mine came up to $160 not counting a case.

I would definitley like to find someone local for a weekly pool match for a couple hours once or twice a week. Hadn't played in a while until last night and forgot how much I loved this game. My problem is I play a bit sloppy for the first couple games then suddenly I get right down to business and even in a friendly game I get more competitive than I usually am h:
