Wise words, as usual.Probably when Kelly first came out west, but I have no knowledge of it. I saw them together several times in L.A. area poolrooms and they never tried to make a game. They probably had a history I don't know about. I do know Kelly traveled to the Bay area in the late 1960's and maybe they met up then. Kelly was probably the favorite over a teenage Cole. He was only the best All Around player in the world at that time. Cole would have had zero chance against him at One Pocket. 9-Ball would have been a shootout.
I don't see any sign of chalk use. You should be ashamed of yourself.This shaft was from a house cue. I modified it slightly and tried using it for a Scoop shot.
My opponent called foul. What are the rules![]()
Welcome back.Good evening gentlemen! It has been a long while since I've been on. Had a very very long physical recovery after a work accident. But glad to be back.
In my spare time I've been buying some cases, came across this one today and can't for the life of me remember the maker and I should! If anyone could shed some light on it for me I'd be grateful!! Might be available soon down the line if I don't keep it.
That and the missing rivets on the pocket corners as well as the unfinished interior sides of the case. I appreciate it, been a long road. Thanks for the reply!Probably old Dennis Swift. The pool balls are kind of trademark Swift always done. but the W 65 is throwing me off.
Glad to hear you are getting lined out.
The thing to remember is you and the seller of the Brunswick cue must reside in states with no ivory ban.Another option , if no one will make you an ivory jointed cue is to find a 1920s 30s old Brunswick cue with an existing ivory joint and have that oversized cue butt turned down , custom designed with ringwork and inlays and wrap as your desire and have a joint pin added to the butt to accept your new shafts.
I own a 20s beautiful Rosewood oversized butt cue with an ivory joint that I am considering having this done - or I may sell it to someone with those desires.
I posted back in the main forum! I apologize, I wasn't paying attention when I posted. Tried to erase the post but apparently I only succeeded in taking away the photos.Glad you are getting better...a picture would help this post immensely. It is also in the wrong section.
Can't possibly deduce that from your thread title.What?
"Two Greatest Players" - that's the subject - how is Shaw one of the two greatest players seemed a reasonable question.
Still is.
Why is he?
