Is this for real? Keith McCready Schon from the Color of Money?

First of all, I sure would like to know who has that cue stick right now.

Me giving Steve Meeker that pool cue, there was an agreement to that. I gave it to him as a favor, and he was to give me $2,000 when he sold it. That was the stipulation. I haven't heard from Steve about it, and it's funny that now I see it on eBay. :mad:

It was my Schon, and it is a good-playing cue. Actually, it was one of my better playing cues that I've had in my lifetime, and yes, I did use it in the movie.

I would appreciate it if the current holder of this cue contacts me, and I will give him all the information that he may need. I am not too comfortable expressing myself on the Internet.

3 things you would change about pool

S
One thing I forgot to mention about "to the last ball" rotation games, There is no specified money ball. Each rack is played per standard rotation rules and conventions until all the balls are down. If the 9 or 10 or 15 go down on a legal shot, they stay down. Any lone remaining ball is for the break only.

Can't say this alternate format is idiot proof. Players could empty out on a particular match and sacrifice advancement for the one score. Players though are liable to game anything so BFD. The majority should be firing in earnest. Difficult pool that anyone can grasp - ie. most balls.

Thinking about it, the biggest bummer is it kinda parallels APA. :p

There's definently makers that use the regular style 3/8-10 pin. I've seen Jerry Oliver and Jim Pierce cues with regular 3/8-10 pins, probably other makers as well.

Most cue makers use the regular 3/8x10 pin but could accommodate requests for other pins, like modified 3/8.
I don’t it make a tinkers damn difference between the two pins but radial pin is always a very good alternative.

SVB v. Yapp: Why was this jump shot legal?

That's a strange rule (about intentional miscues). Why would that be?

There are some very "interesting" things you can do with intentional miscues, so the way you can set the cue ball in motion is restricted to a forward motion of the stick and a normal tip-to-ball contact. Unintentional miscues are not penalized, normally, even though they often involve more than one contact between cue stick and cue ball.

Slow play by pros

I think the games should be 8 ball or 10 ball, I grew up on 9 ball but slop has changed the outcome of so many tournaments. Why be rewarded for a miss? ....

If you want that to happen to the pro tour, I think you need to convince Emily. Good luck. While you're at it, have her change the five ball back to orange and the four to purple, if she has to have a purple ball.
