Looking at a Meucci Casino 10

I have owned over two dozen Meucci cues over the year and never had a single one with a problem. I currently own over 20, most unplayed, none with an issue, some going back over 20 years.

In my Collection are also the Diamond Ebony version, their top of the line. It competes very well against my other high end cues, Carmeli, Tonkin, etc...
Diamond ebony current productions is like $3500. The newest variation has no number anymore. I wonder when they stopped numbering them.

Funny pic/gif thread...

Laughing my ass off. Back in the summer of 1976, a buddy & I drove to Aspen Colorado for a Porsche Club regional event held at what was called "woody creek raceway"...really a glorified go kart track. Anyway, after checking in to the condo my buddy John & I headed to the pool...local deeply tanned guys hanging poolside...our pasty Oregon rain county skin gave us away. So, my buddy John broke the ice by saying: "What's the matter? Haven't you guys ever seen white folks before?" That got a good laugh and cautions on the dangers of sun and booze at high altitudes.

Rusty, thank for jogging my memory of a buddy who died over a decade ago...damn, I miss the guy.
No worries here I'm glad I could attempt to add a bit of humor along with bring back the memories of a long lost friend who went to the other camp in the sky !
For me that picture is me in the middle all day long because of the curse of being a ok now chrome colored past red head ha ha
Who if I were to open a refrigerator door to fast in a dark kitchen I'd get a flash burn ! Ha ha

Max Eberle on people who play on barboxes "Pool players need to grow some balls"

Are you saying that you played Scott even?

I think Max was referring to editorial you, not himself..........
I don't remember if we played even or 8-7. I offered to play him even. I know I got to 7 balls twice so thinkin' about it we would've had to have been playing either even or 9-8. I know for a fact I wasn't getting more than one ball. Afterwards he said to me that if I were so inclined I could make a lot of money playing locals one hole. I'm not and never have been. I really do do it for the love of the game.

I'd sit there all day and cover time if he'd play me for fun(he was wanting practice to get ready for a match up so he wanted something on the line). Me, Donny Mills and Shawn Putnam would do so a lot. Although with Shawn and Donny it was on Shawn's table at mbc so technically he was covering time.

Another time Scott and I also played even ten ball race to 21. He got me 21 to 13. This was back when that pool hall in Tempe was still called freezers ice house. The one hole was more recent but still a couple of years ago.

Spin-to-Speed or Revolutions-per-Foot?

You did it wrong. Shoot to 3 to come in a diamond short, then complain about the dead cushions when it goes exactly where you expected. ;)


I did that too, missing and noting where the cue ball went. My favorite thing was hitting points on coin op tables when practicing by myself! I saved a lot of quarters and tuned tighter than aiming at pockets. Offering those easy pickings in a bar was more than everybody could stand. Before long somebody would take the bait!

One of the most phenomenal shots I've ever seen in snooker

The exquisite skill of this shot was in its accuracy at that distance. When it is that thin, you have to get it absolutely perfect or it will show up in the speed control. If you are playing a safe in snooker, where speed control is often key (you want to get close to the end rail), try to find a half-ball contact. Very forgiving in terms of speed control.
I like to put things in perspective and I do see detriment in the creative literacy aspect.
Remove all the balls except the cue ball. You can retain the elevated bridge.

What did he do besides lag the ball? Anyone can do this daily - hourly, until they know everything about it.

Put the yellow back in. Was there anything different about the execution?

Apparently his stroke is grooved enough to deliver the required stroke. Whatever ensued is a function of the equipment and environment.

The superlatives may inspire the noobs but also discourage the rest when faced with the unbreakable "results sold separately" clause.
