I don't think the image is clear enough to be sure of any visible bending.

Blue Grass....35th Anniversary Cue
Very unique cue, Merry Widow Style, wood is Waterfall Bubinga (museum quality) absolutely gorgeous!

It has Westinghouse Old Yellow Micarta Joint & Ferrules!

The wrap is black Elephant Ear

35th Anniversary Cue

The "Old Yellow Micarta" jointed cues will be some of the rarest cues Richard made.

I was told he would have to look it up, but he thinks this is the 4th cue with old yellow joint.

More and better photos soon

How cool would it be to get to play against a top Fargo rated Pro, in a short race 9 or 10 ball tournament?

Seems pretty unbelievable to me, that it would even be worth their time, to compete in such a small tournament, for a top Pro.

I am not even sure if an 800 Fargo player is a top pro anymore though, but that seems really high to me, and surely pretty close to Elite, right?

Anyways, I just think it would be such an hour to be able to compete against a top player, for such a small price. That is, if you even see a short race to 3 as a competition, lol.

I still bet that he went on to snap the tournament off though, but I am not sure.

It was at Skinny Bob's, in Round Rock, TX, and I randomly seen a live youtube stream of their weekly Friday night tournament going on.

Oh, and the TV Table looked to be in such nice condition. I imagine that they probably keep all their tables in great condition though.

These guys know what they are talking about. They have seen a billion cues over the years, and been here for ages.

I can tell you, with certainty, that neither of those cues are Adam cues. Most Adam cues would have higher precision, with their inlay work, I believe.

On the 2nd cue for example, the points are very uneven. On the 1st cue, the inlays do not look very good. Not very straight. Not very well done.

I believe that Adam, for the most part, always made a much higher quality cue, then what I see in these pics.

Plus, the rubber bumpers are wrong (I believe) for Adam cues. At least, the ones from Japan.

There is also the chance that I am just making myself look like a fool, yet again, lol.

The more I think about it, I do know that some of the Chinese made Adam cues, like the late 90's Helmstetter cues, for example, had lop sided inlays, and uneven points, and some of the Adam cues from the 70's, that I have seen, had lop sided (not perfectly straight) inlays.

So, I understand that Adam cues did not always look that good, with their inlay work, and Point work, but the ones from Japan, that I know of, have always looked very high quality. Like the 86, and 87 Series Helmstetter cues, for example. Very nice work, they did on them.

if the tourney is legit handicapped, would that not give any pro the same chances as anybody else?
