Illegal? Good grief.

Ah well, your circus, your monkeys.

There are plenty of great amateur players in these tournaments, and I don't think the colored pockets make potting easier.

It seems like the pockets are total buckets though, the corner pockets are said to be 4.75 but look like they play bigger. I assume the APA does that mainly to speed the games up.

They are.. they make what they now call league cut pockets. They are 4.75 inch. Still tougher then a valley because of the depth of the pockets but they are buckets

What was the table size and pockets on that tabke that Mosconi run that high run?
I doubt that he eould run half of that on modern equipment.

Regardless, the extension is a tool. You can skip on it and be handicapped or adapt.
I remember Earl Strickland going against jump cues, eventually he adapted snd got one.
You can bitch about progress and stsy behind or get in front.

I don’t like those stupid shirts either in terms if designs but those new age fabrics designed for sports feels nice and easy to move on.
They also dry fast so if you are on the road playing tournaments, easy to wash in the sink and it’s really by morning

IF you hit the middle of the pocket, it doesn't matter what size the pocket is. He seemed to hit the middle alot!

I use thread finish on all of my builds for a couple reasons. One, it’s what I have. After I build it up even with the rest of the cue, I let it cue for several days and then sand/polish it flat. The second reason is that it’s easily removable. Using a heat gun or torch I can start in the middle with a VERY sharp razor blade and cut it off. It’s a bit time consuming, but it comes off clean. That way if they ever want to go back to a leather wrap they can. I tend to agree with the gaudy look from time to time. It’s very easy to get too flashy. That’s why I usually do a solid color background with colored designs. My last customer wanted it flashy, so that’s what I did.

Guy claims that he was a hundred ball runner before extensions were a thing, now it is impossible to play without one.

If you are talking about moi, I don't need to claim much of anything -- do a quick search, you can find a youtube of me running over 100.

And what I said was, "...it is almost impossible to play without one."

Well I count 11 threads per inch so I'll say 3/8x11.

Thanks. I thought it looked to be right in between the 10 and 11 mark (10.5 turns, at the 1" mark, lol). I understand it also looks like a 3/8x11, just like a SW joint pin would look. I just wanted to be sure. As dumb as the question might be, lol. Thanks a lot.

UPDATE, lower price, would like to get these cues sold. Beautiful Tascarella cues available now with no waiting.
Besides cues...I like cars. Can never decide between the two. In process of adding to the cars so, cues must go!
Selling two very nice Tascarella cues. One I bought just recently from Donnie Bex, cue is in the same condition as when I received it back in April/May. Includes original weight bolt, lighter weight bolt and the bumper conversion option. Description and photos below. You can also look back at his for sale post
2nd cue I have had for over a year, is a rare but simple classic that I hesitate to part with but again, the car problem

.
Rosewood player, could use a refinish if you wanted with some marks in the finish on the butt. I was playing with it and loved the original condition so I left it. Forearm is immaculate, incredible veneers and the wrap is oh so very smooth original linen. Signature white over steel joint, slim handle that feels so nice in the hand. This is one to keep forever so hopefully it won't sell.

Mosconi was a champion.

Go from room to room all over the country 300 days out of the year and play on different tables and almost never failed to run 100 in front of a crowd.

I think he'd manage
