You didn’t want to buy the BLUD SNEAKY FIR $600.00;& shipping , then you inquired about one of my Whitten cases & didn’t reply as to shipping.

I believe that you would get a very nice cue from all three of those options. Much of how the cue plays will come down to the shaft. That said, you could always buy the cue you liked the most and if the shaft doesn't play the way you like you can always get a different shaft. The Jacoby Ultra Pro shaft is the best maple shaft I have played with. I got one for my McDermott D-15 and love it. Also have McDermott G-Core shaft for that plays very well for the money.

Can you give me the mm at the tip & condition of the shaft ? What if any markings are on the shaft .In previous messages I don’t recall you noting it was a McDermott shaft but an unmarked or off brand ….so I gave up.If is for or from a McDermott Star version I won’t be interested, no offense intended.Let me know

And what would that be on sir ?

Lol your 10 ball is the only correct ball with aramith quality I would be stunned if they aren’t fake.

It depends lol how serious are you about the game I guess. I know a lot of pool players who have a table and never play at home.. I play at home every day for about 2 hours unless I have leagues or a tournament so my diamond and the money I invested in my garage converting it was worth every penny.

Will your opponent be racking for you?

It is possible this is a reverse spot. If you never run out the rack, but only clear a few of your balls from the table, you just make it easier for your opponent to run out.

I assume a scratch on the break ends your inning and gives up ball in hand for your opponent. That makes it all the more important to keep the cue ball from hitting cushions.

Spotter racks. i can occasionally run out from the break....

Very nice, congrats!

I worked for a guy that was from Africa. He would go back there a couple times a year.
He had connections that could make anything out of local materials. One time he brought back wallets made from bigass snakes. I think I still have it 25+ years later.

Anyhow, he also once brought back some letter openers. They were ebony. When I asked him about the colors he said that most people think ebony is black but that's OLD ebony and it's not as available as it once was. The blonde ebony was young ebony that, if left to grow, it would eventually turn black. The letter openers were blond and black (dark brown).

I did ask him about getting a pool cue made from ebony and he said he'd look into it. I think that's about the time life took over then and we both forgot about it. I ended up leaving the company before life evened out and he passed away a few years ago so I'll just have to let that one go.
