Super Billiards Expo 2016 April 27 2016, 0 Comments

Hi everybody.  I had a wonderful and very successful time at the 2016 Super Billiards Expo in Philadelphia April 14-17.  I loaded up the Ram 2500 and drove up from Ocala, Florida on Tues. and arrived at the Expo Hall on Wed. morning, set up the booth and checked into the hotel.  Even though the event started Thurs. practice tables were open Wed. evening so I decided to come back and open for business.  Wed. night was one of my busiest.  

This event draws all of the big name manufacturers.  You name them and they were there.  I felt very fortunate that the Snapshot Brand name is getting out there and that a small enterprise run entirely by me can compete.  It was well worth it even though the days were long starting at 5:00 AM and closing the booth at 10:00 PM.  I'll be there again next year.

Many thanks to Ryo Horiuchi from Navigator Japan.  Navigator is the manufacturer of the incredible hand made, 100% high density premium pig skin cue tips.    They use a high tech non liquid resin between layers, natural harmless dyeing and 4 quality control checks before completion.  The result- tips with humidity resistance, less mushroom, less miscues. Many Japanese pros have switched to these tips and now Navigator is expanding worldwide.  I am pleased and proud to be selected as the Navigator Distributor for Florida.

Thanks to all my new friends and customers and to Manny Lucca for his help.

Here's a few pics.

Introducing Snapshot® Tip Chafer-Premium Tip Maintenance Tool November 04 2015, 0 Comments

SnapshotCues.com introduces our newest product:

                     Snapshot® Cue Tip Chafer

Hi performance tip maintenance tool.  This tool is manufactured with the finest quality components including a Stainless Steel Lifting Plate, 8 magnets and Hard White Birch Wood.  There are no sandpaper inserts to wear out or replace and the Stainless Steel Lifting Plate will last a lifetime.

If you're going to improve your game you need the best equipment.  

The Snapshot® Cue Tip Chafer will make your tip hold chalk better, last longer and helps to prevent the dreaded miss-cue.  Held together with magnets, this tool does not take any leather off your tip, it simply raises tiny slivers of the leather which means it will really hold and retain your chalk. You will soon notice that with practice you won't have to chalk between every shot.  Feel the Stainless Steel Lifting Plate surface and you will see that it feels like sandpaper, but it will not wear out like sandpaper. But don't scrape your tip with it!

     So how does this strange looking gadget work?

Once you have shaped your tip with our 5 Way Tip Tool   (Available on our Accessories Page) simply cup the Tip Chafer in your hand and roll your tip back and forth on the Stainless Steel Lifting Plate surface.  Apply slight pressure on the tool (see photos) and roll your tip until you cover the entire surface of your tip. You will notice your have lifted tiny slivers of your tip without removing the leather, thus making your tip hold and retain chalk much longer.  AND since you didn't remove any leather your tip will last much longer. Chalk up and you're ready to play.  

The Snapshot® Tip Chafer far out performs other tip tools, especially the tip pick and tip tapper. These tools poke holes in the leather tip, then you chalk, then you hit balls.  This packs the chalk into the holes until it is so hard you start to miss-cue.  You will miss-cue more with these than any other tool.

The Snapshot® Tip Chafer also out performs Kamui's Gator Grip. The Tip Chafer has a larger Stainless Steel surface area, is thinner and lighter than Kamui.  And best of all the Snapshot® Tip Chafer costs $10.00 less than Kamui's Gator Grip.

Made of the finest White Birch Wood

Stainless Steel Metal Chafing Surface

Very Thin and Lightweight

Held Together with Magnets

  Bought a Snapshot Pool Cue yesterday, and so far I'm liking it. Installed the patent pending snapshot metal Ferrule on it with a kamui tip. I gotta say, I'm loving the contact and English I'm getting with snap shot ferrule and kamui tip. I suggest giving these ferrules a try, and lose the frustration of replacing the basic plastic ferrules over and over. I also purchased a hand worked Cue from Terry (owner of snapshot) and the cue is very smooth with the pro taper. If your looking for a new, one of a kind cue....hit Terry up at snapshot! If you want some more info send me a P.M. and I'll give u additional contact information

Okinawa Slim and Lightning Lynn Visit Ocala, Florida this Weekend. August 10 2015, 0 Comments

Many thanks to Okinawa Slim for taking time out of his busy schedule to visit me this weekend and to help promote my business and my brand name Snapshot®.  He is a true gentleman and a friend. He also brought his protege Lightning Lynn who was so nice and beautiful and a talented and upcoming pool player.  I'm very happy to sponsor her and I presented her with one of my Snapshot® Break/Jump Cues.  She has a great attitude and personality and will surely go far.  She was a lot of fun.  Good Luck Lynn!

Slim and Lynn visited both Diamond Billiards and Boulevard Billiards here in Ocala.  They spent Friday at Boulevard Billiards and were able to meet many of my customers and friends and Diane the owner.  Saturday evening they came to Diamond Billiards.  Here they met owners Doug and Paula and more of my friends and customers.  Lynn took on all challengers and had a great time.  Slim put on a mini exhibition of trick shots and the crowd loved it.  We are going to try to schedule him for a full blown exhibition for a future date.  I really appreciate the visit.

2015 Ultimate Pool Shark Tournament July 12 2015, 1 Comment

Had a great time this last weekend at the Ultimate Pool Shark Tournament in Norcross, Ga.  This tournament paid $3000 to the winner and was a chance for 8 players plus 4 backups to participate in the filming of the pilot for the reality show "The Ultimate Pool Shark".  I was lucky enough to be one of the vendors and had an awesome time.  Business was excellent and the response and feedback on my cues and ferrules was incredible.   Met some great people and some future distributors.  One of my buddys Tim Neary from my town Ocala, Fl. is in the final 8 and my good friend Asia Cy is one of the backups.  Good Luck to you both!
