If a person is good at anything, it is better to just let your skill do the talking, then tooting your own horn. We have a local who use to try and convince everyone he was great Pool player. He standard line was every years "I go to and play in the BCAPL Championship in Las Vegas". If I heard him telling his tail, I use to say G****,anyone with the $125.00 to enter the BCAPL Event is welcome. Did you win anything last year’s G****, or just participate in the event?

I love watching the great players battling in the One Pocket at DCC, or other venues, in many cases the commentary is not necessary, but is nice.

Scott Frost recently started doing commentary on live streams on U-Tube, he knows the game so well, and his comment & knowledge is a bonus.

But when the great of the game are doing magic at the table they do not have to toot their own horns, most watching know they are witnessing something special.

Jimbo and his Army IMHO were all Own Horn Tooters, big time...FOOK EM.

Scott Frost said the below.

He’s going to chase the cup this year. He’s going to play some events overseas, and he’s going to do whatever he can to make Team USA. If he performs, and I think he can perform, I think that’s a huge benefit.

“Here’s what I can promise you, Justin’s doing very, very well, I can absolutely promise you that. His health is as good as it’s ever been. His mindset is as good as it’s ever been. He’s excited to play for Team USA.”

I read what you wrote, made comment you did not like apprently Fred.

Offended? By me sharing my opinion?

Maybe you need reread what i wrote.

Jumbo was a minor league pool champ. Not a earth shaking accomplishment.

No, it was about 20 or 25 years ago that the why of deflection started to be generally understood and the details were worked out, largely online.

Nobody was banned. The discussion was tame compared to some of today's threads, and the discussion was on a forum that didn't have a banning mechanism. It was before AZB existed.

Hi everyone,


I’m looking for an updated market valuation on my Tim Scruggs Custom Cue. I am the original owner and have had this cue for approximately 10-15 years? . Shafts have been a "closet queen" for most of its life as I primarily played with a Predator. Shaft


Details:


• Forearm: Curly/Flame Maple with 4 points.


• Veneers: Purple, Green, and Black/Natural (very crisp).


• Butt Sleeve: Features large notched diamond inlays and clover motifs.


• Logo: Intertwined "TS" logo on the white Delrin butt cap.


• Shafts: Two (2) original maple shafts. Both are straight and have virtually zero play time (test hit for 5 minutes when new, then hung in a closet).


• Joint: 5/16x14 piloted joint with maple billet/dashed ringwork.


• Condition: Near mint. No dings, scratches, or finish issues.


I’ve included high-res photos of the points, the inlay work in the butt sleeve, and the shafts. I am curious about the current fair market value in USD.


Thanks in advance for any insights!
