Wiktor Zielienski maybe, he keeps getting deep in tournanents and I think just a little bit of improvement could have him a routine contender. Felix Vogel has impressed me too with his recent PBS 10 ball win. At only 18, I can only imagine how good he'll be in the coming years. And Wu Kun Lin (the man he beat) also seemed like a sleeper to me, doing very well in that tournament (and winning the mixed doubles).

On the women's side, I would say Seo Seoa is underrated in the sense that she is not on the top of any ranking lists, but is arguably a top 2 women's player based on her performances of late. If she wins the upcoming women's 10 ball championship, I would place her at #1.

A choice such as this at her age, tells me her parents are ''in cue'' with real life. \
Tho in her billiard field, I think she's got a very good chance at doing very well doing both things if she can get a good coach to keep on keeping on in this great game.

I bought one a few months back. I did exactly what is suggested above. I looked for about 6 weeks before I found one and it was in Wichita, which is about 90 minutes north of me. I ended up finding it in a Facebook ad and I don't even have Facebook. While searching it sure seemed like it would have been a lot easier if I was looking in the northeast. A lot of ads for Gold Crowns in general seemed to be from there. My pockets are just under 4.5 inches.

The cue has an allen set screw weight bolt which could be removed, or weight could be added. I'd be happy to adjust it for you. The bocote is beautifully straight grained.

Edit:
No longer interested.
Garczar talked me out of trying to buy anything in this forum, lol.

Maybe you can use AI. It might point out that she posted two photos.

I was wondering what those were.

ah yes, the shot you describe is true. i must adjust what i meant to ask. it should be:

what's the name of this shot?
short-long, ball, NOT the same long rail, ball (sometimes it'll hit the short rail just before the ball).
is this also an umbrella?

see my shots below at the 46 sec and at 1:43 for the shots.

umbrella shot in 3 cushion billiards definition
.........................
In 3-cushion billiards, the umbrella shot is a standard shot where the cue ball hits two cushions before contacting the first object ball, then hits one more cushion and spins out to strike the second object ball.

This shot is often executed with inside english (spin) on the cue ball to facilitate the angle required to hit the second rail after the first ball contact.
It is distinct from the "lag ticky" or "inside umbrella" variations, which may involve different rail sequences or require hitting the rail before the first ball in a specific corner configuration.

I normally wear glasses, but wear contacts when playing billiards because longer cut shots are difficult with my bifocals.

Almost forgot, Varner was their, back when Heubert Cokes took him under wing.
Heubert Cokes was also from Indiana.
I could beat Nick up till 1970, then we played even, and I chose I different life path, didn't want to do this Full Time.

I’m sure any of the major table dealers on the eastern seaboard could help you with that.

Dallas is still with us.

Yeah I talked to Jeff Carter recently, I think Dallas won their local 3 cushion event recently. Always loved his polyester pants

you just have to dig. FB, Craigslist,etc. What 'specs' are you referring to? You'll be lucky to find a good one near you much less that meets whatever you're talking about. RI listing: https://dlbilliards.com/products/used-9ft-brunswick-gold-crown-iv-1

Brown, not black. 4.5" corner or bigger (not good enough to enjoy 4.25"). That is about it.

I’d also try to contact table mechanics in your area. I don’t know who they are- Yura I know of but he is a billiard table guy in the area. Maybe he knows of pool tables too. But a good table mechanic may know of one or have one.

I have doubts that any glasses currently exist that would improve your ability to pocket balls.
However, I do foresee the day will arrive when glasses can display information that helps a
player with metrics and even a aim point display accompanied by helpful stroke information.

DigiBall is a indication of better things to come and maybe there’ll be a link of DigiBall to AI
intelligent glasses that display shot probability or maybe the normal cue ball deflection path.
Science is making leaps and bounds that seemed unimaginable even only a decade ago.
