Justin Bergman vs Tom Cousins

If I had known about this earlier I would have put money on Tom Cousins. I like Bergman but those UK players are on a whole different level of playing 8 ball on smaller tables. Like others have said, it's mainly because they see patterns better and Tom Cousins moves around the table without a care in the world. Seriously, it looked like nothing ever bothers that guy.

On a side note, and I'm sure it's because of the KC open and the UP promoters did not want this to be any longer, but a race to 30 barbox 8 ball for $100k? I do not care for these dopey long set matches, but does anyone else think it should have been a race to 50?

I think a race to 50 would have been better. Looks like it's going to be a pretty good winning margin here for Cousins. Justin didn't play like he normally does. Maybe his new CF shaft is taking some getting used to. I wonder if he was forced into using it tonight?
Either way, Tom is playing solid, and keeps growing that lead.

No, 30 seems just about right. We don't really know anything about the funds or streaming money, plus any savers in place.

Tonkin Ebony/Silver Hoppe

ipoppa33
Wrapless 4 point Ebony & Silver Tonkin Hoppe. All white everywhere is the good stuff, with silver inside each diamond.

Butt 3/8x10- 15.56oz (.3oz weight bolt) the Hoppe ring has alternating diamonds of sliver and (I think) abalone. 58 inches even 29/29.
Shaft #1- 12.7mm, 3.66oz
Shaft #2- 12.7mm, 3.60oz
Both shafts have a slight taper roll, nothing leaves the table. Cue rolls straight together or apart.

It's a very sharp looking cue the silver really pops with the ebony and ivory. This was a players cue, there are some scratches and bumps (nothing through the finish), it could use a refinish to be mint. A cut and buff would probably clean up most of the scratches.

Asking $3000

Let me know if you have any question.
Thanks.

Thanks for the welcome! We're a 2nd Generation family-owned billiards company based in South Carolina with locations in Greenville, Charleston, and Columbia. We specialize in everything from entry-level game room tables to high-end tournament-quality equipment, service, and installation.

Our installers are full-time employees, not subcontractors, and we invest heavily in training. Most have backgrounds in furniture installation, construction, or billiard service, and we're currently building our own formal technician certification program to raise the standard of the industry. We believe a properly installed table should play as well as it looks, whether it's going into a family game room or for a serious player.

We're here to learn from the community, contribute where we can, and continue improving our craft. Looking forward to being part of the discussions.

Yet you choose a Rasson over a Diamond? This statement alone makes me question anything you have to say, sorry to be blunt
