Hello.

I have seen them before, sir… but not often.

I know there were two slightly different versions released to market. I understand that they were distributed under the Crest Billiards banner and possibly retailed by Imperial in America. As far as I’m aware they did not have a specific set name and were simply sold in a generic box. I believe the balls were made in China in the 1990s, but not entirely sure of exact date or manufacturer.

From a collector’s viewpoint I would consider them rare, desirable and valuable (although dependent on condition). It’s a beautiful set.

Apologies I cannot be more definitive.

Sometimes I let shit slide....sometimes not.

I met my wife at age 21. She told me a guy she knew owed her money. I asked nicely for it. When he didn't pay, I got it from him by repossessing a few items from his house. I went back and I asked him to pay again....he kinda laughed in my face. I knew where he worked and we had a meeting when he got out. He was a local pharmaceutical salesman so when I beat his face into the ground he kept it quiet.

I got a bunch of other times I been tested. Right is right even if it takes doing wrong to get it there.

I've tried watching a few of the matches. Many of the women I don't know, many have fargo's in the 500's. It's pretty hard to watch. Later stages of the tournament should be better.

Recently sold my break cue because I never use it. I have more control with my player.
That being said, I feel no need to smash the rack like I'm using a sledge hammer. I never hit the rack with anything more than a strong force follow stroke.

How tall are you? Tall helps with that but otherwise you'd be on diminishing returns. If you watch the majors, few have that textbook pendulum thing.

If you set the stroke finish past the ball maybe 3 inches and aim for that point, hitting the cue ball "perfect" will become a function of that.

CB last.
If you have good peripheral, you should be able to dial in on OB very fast after CB last, as they're on a predetermined shotline.

I follow the cueball of course. At the collision you are looking for the intended action as OBL ers would.
