Playing with what appears to be a new cue - maybe he retired his old cuetec? Shane was unstoppable

From the Jaws of defeat ? The match was never in questionIt happened in a flash and I don't know really what I saw when Shane was left with a very close jump shot that looked to be a guaranteed foul shot but nevertheless he pulled out this metallic looking silver "star wars" looking cylindrical shaft and then proceeded to make contact with the ball and fire it across the table and into the side pocket quickly
disposing of the remaining balls on the table and snatching another win from the jaws of
defeat while playing the Daz in the final of the Party Poker World Masters tournament![]()
Shane was dominant over Liu and Darren.
For a while Darren was that 300 lbs. gorilla on Shane's back - this win is a huge confidence booster no doubt.

Congrats to Shane - world pool master once again. he isn't just a world champion - he is a world Master!
:thumbup:
he didn't retire his cuetec cue, in fact he is using the Earl Strickland Series from the 90's, if you watch Earl 90's match when he was using a white cue, thats exactly the same cuetec shane now using except he's using his own shaft with it and ofcourse his extension at the end.

Great observation.
I remember hearing Shane was offered big money for his old cue, the black one with the paint all chipped off it near the joint. He turned it down so it must have some sentimental value.
After his cues were temporarily lost by an airline recently, maybe he made the switch because he doesn't want to lose it once and for all.
