More cue forensics - Wimpy Lassiter

I don’t know shit, but wouldn’t the embellishments on the “W” be nothing? I would think you would look at the spacing and the height of the hump in the middle. They don’t seem to match up.

What is the spacing of the letters like? Connected in the 2nd pic and only the “I-M” are connected in the first.

What aboot the letters where you would drop down below the line of your grade school primer? In the rosewood forearm the “p” and “y” both have loops where the maple forearm is straight.

Nothing seems the same, but it’s probably hard to sign your name in a round hunk of wood…

I haven’t signed my actual name in decades. I just sign as old Browns players from the 80’s; “Tim Manoa #42” or the like.
Engraver/pantograph/pocket knife is more cumbersome than pen.

Introducing the new Bitman rack 😳

I agree a $500 wooden rack is not a great value proposition no matter how well it works. Reminds me a lot of the Sardo rack that used to sell for around $125 USD that was also made obsolete by a $5 plastic template, although IIRC John Schmidt used one in some of his 14.1 record attempts.

Interestingly this just popped up on my Facebook marketplace feed. Seems like a much more reasonable price point but no idea if it is legit or not: https://www.speculatek.com/products/bitmanrack-9-ball-pro

OB Cues?

Quit playing late 2021, it was a snap-decision. Put my case in the boot of my car then realized I wasn't looking forward to playing so I didn't bother. Left my case in said boot, containing a Poison Bolt full cue and an OB1 shaft which I screwed in to a Universal. In January 2022 I arranged a few sets with a friend to see if I could regain my interest. Made the hour-long drive across Birmingham (UK) to the pool club only to find that both the Poison and OB shafts had warped. Absolutely gutted, I loved both cues. I haven't played since.
