Mike ain't that bad a player for sure he is a fudging grinder! But I have just come out of hospital having received medical treatment for ruptured stomach muscles caused by laughing too hard at the prospect of mike not buying another cue!

Oh Ha Ha Nick!!
Nicks forum name is archalf1471 cos he has had 1471 cues in the last few years..........I thought that I was bad until I met him.
and, by the way, myself and Trevor White played Nick and Luke and we kicked their butts good and proper!!

Adr is right! Over the years I have had lots of coaching from people like Leslie Driffield (how many of you remember him?) Mike Dunn, Barry Stark and Del Hill...........and I am still rubbish

I strangely can't remember it too well. The disadvantage of Luke as a partner also comes into it! This will be continued one day soon enough. By which time Mike will be onto Argos special raminwood 2 piece cues.
Chuffed for the oldgit but I have a feeling the novel will continue in the same vain as Tony Benns diaries do!!!Its not how well you play its how good you look playing that counts!

The tip is a rarity......a perfect hard elkmaster and felt responsive. I tried first playing with the badge 'up' and it was easy to sight with the arrows but then I tried playing with the badge 'down' and there are still great sighting arrows, i've never seen that on an ash cue before. I spent a happy hour potting balls and walked out knowing that I can use the cue, it didn't feel strange in any way and i'm certain that I concentrated more than usual but seemed to pot balls better than I usually do!!
