Styer DOGGED that early nine and it looked like he blew a brain fuse. Wasn't the same the rest of the match. Sweet 4rail kick late tho, too bad it didn't mean shit. Sure hope wingnut96's man-crush is intact. He really thinks Styer is better than Gorst? Send me some of what he's smokin'.

it's a good finish for a 792 fargo. but there is something weird with tyler and the money ball.. maybe he should practice straight pool with fifteen 9-balls

I'd love to know what you think about it.

For pool there is already Salotto, which is connected to FargoRate. I think a lot of the more serious pool players are more interested in individual play than leagues.

Szolnoki , with his deliberate pace, was the worst kind of opponent for Chang. Might have been a different outcome with a shot clock.

Half the field from the U.S. Looks good on paper, might not translate to the table. I'd take the 12 filipinos to go deeper than the 127 usa guys.

They have a full field according to the list at

The Phoenix - his new nick name

Last two weeks for Pecelj … wow. Where did this come from?

Good night!

Your right on all that ShootingArts, and I didn't expect to have a collectors item , but it stick is an oddball that I wanted info on. The joint was repaired after I broke it , so at least half of joint isnt original. The hemp string i put on after the original fell off. I did play with this cue 30 years ago and its decent. Weights 20 0z but is super front heavy so I guess it ' feels' light to me. Ill probably fix the wrap when I figure that out and yes, back to being a display piece it will go.

Pecelj's two-way shot on the three-rail bank of the 6ball in rack 19 was a thing of great beauty. Well done!

Don't usually watch pool at 1:00 AM, but this is a really good final. At 9-9, it's anybody's game.

Was going to go to sleep and finish in the morning… but there is just no quit in Pecelj.

Looks basically original to me.

Some Birdseye in the maple is just dumb luck, like some have some tiger striping. It's not an outstanding piece of Birdseye.

The shaft splices were common.

Joint looks OEM to me.

The joint was an early red flag for me. Why have a piloted joint and the other construction gives the joint no room to self align. The thread of the wrap looks oversized and soft. It doesn't look like it has ever been ironed. The wood looks like it has been turned the wrong direction from an original build.

The weight stamped into the wood seems odd for a nice cue, and the weight seems like it doesn't fit the stick. Nineteen ounces isn't likely to be perceived as light by most people.

It looks like something that was put together to give a grandson to play with. Nothing wrong with that but it reminds me of some experiments of mine that never met the light of day!

If the cue plays fine I would play with it, if not it gets a place of honor in the rack. It will never be a collectors item but may have a lot of personal value.
