I recently purchased an interesting Adam. It has a sticker that says “MAC14” which I assume is a model number but I tried searching that model and came up empty.

The butt is actually two pieces. One of the four points is, er, not quite perfect. As you can see in the second photo, the close up, the inlays (?) don’t terminate well. I don’t know if that degrades or improves the value. Either way, I find it interesting.

Not really...I think its safe to say that either Earl or Buddy was the best 9-ball player ever.We can also say that Efren is the best allround pool player and the best one pocket player ever.We can say this because of their ''achievements'' not based on stories where people say '' yeah, i saw him play, he was the greatest''

Chua should have spent less time with his lawyer, and more time on the practice table.

can your second floor hold the Diamond and keep it level??? That would be my concern, not so much on a concrete slab floor.

Wasting your time..?Why, if I may ask..?We now know that the the reason Tadd did so well is because of the absence of pools top players, there is hardly another realistic way to look at this.At the same time we hear unconfirmed stories of how great a gambler Tadd was (including from you) but not where, against whom and for how much the action took place.Now, you can write another essay about it but no one credible in the world of pool( and most likely Tadd himself ) will support the claim of him having been the best or even one of the best pool players in the world at any given time.

These who da best discussions - apples, oranges, and self fulfilling logic.

The great thing about chess clocks is people can use their time however they want, racking, smoking, playing slow, etc

I've seen them used in 3 cushion before and it's really a near perfect solution

Less possibilities in billiards.

These will never happen, but...

1) Max 2 cues in use per match. Player has to decide on whether they bring a break cue or jump cue.
2) Chess clock. Players rack their own and clock runs while they rack (should reduce 2 minute racking).
3) Centennials as official Matchroom ball set, on green cloth.

Hmm. Humidity going up. Filipinos dropping like flies. Maybe there is credence to this waxgate stuff.

Now that Regalario and Chua bowed out, only pinoy left standing is Marvin Asis...probably the least known Filipino in the field.
