My kinda room….when I would get busy and not hit a ball for a few months…and get that urge to play snooker…..I needed to hear this song….after a few days, it would start raining centuries.

Gotta love that low down groove.

If this doesn’t give you goosebumps you don’t have a pulse:

In the old Brass Rail in Durham, NC, there was a local sweater named Wayne Dixon who used to ask every road player if he wanted to gamble.

When the road player said, "Maybe. What's the bet, and for how much?" Wayne would reply "I'll bet you a hundred dollars that my d**k is littler than yours."

I don't think that anyone ever took him up on it.

Thanks for showing off!

I have been sort of moderately curious about such laminated cues over the years. I have a Bob Renis cue, but that's just for my collection. It's an interesting cue to play with.

I have looked at the Jacoby cues like this but never felt motivated enough to grab one.

I am glad you took it out into the sunlight to we could see how the colors pop. Thank you.

The whole CF shaft thing is still foreign to me, but I am reading and watching. I'll be interested if you have more to say about how it plays.

I'm in something of an exploratory stage with shafts right now, but I think I'm done with standard maple. Carbon fiber is probably where I'm going to commit, though I have a PureX FUZE Kielwood that's impressing me right now. It initially didn't work to my liking on the Steve Kornele custom I bought it for, but I gambled on a cheap Mcdermott Lucky cue (model L22) to put it on and, frankly, I'm loving it on that cue. It made a very nice player out of what many would consider an insignificant or uninteresting cue. It will be great when I want to play well, but don't want to expose my nicer cues.

I'd love to try a Kielwood on this Jacoby, but I'll wait until I can go to Fort Worth Billiards and try a demo shaft on it, if they have one.

By the way, despite my expressed intention to go with a Jacoby V4 or JFlowers SMO shaft, I (who can be impulsive, to say the least) just ordered a Bulletproof CF shaft with a medium tip for it.

Every SW hits like a broomstick

Haha! So they are changing the name of Team Europe so Fedor can still play for them.

You're not wrong

Agreed that the other choice was also reasonable, but not better. Finding the gap that Kledio found was pretty unlikely. Accepting the eight would have required a challenging shot form the eight to the nine.

Not terribly important to decide which was the better choice, but Kledio made a very reasonable choice here, made a solid stroke, and got really unlucky.

The math may not be mathing

I don't wash my hands after using the bathroom so I can rub it on the table.

Yes, I do wear my shooting glove with me. I don't take it off for the bathroom.

I think you just knocked your own action.
