Question for old timers@

I ran the local pool hall night shift in the early 70’s. I still have 3 boxes of the elk masters. The day shift man did all cue repair and in those days you could grab a house cue from the wall rack and they were all good players. Man the good ole days
Elk Master used to be better. Now you have to look for one or two good tips on house cues. A cuemaker told me he dumps a box of 50 into a bowl of water and uses only the 3 or 4 that do not float. But that is hearsay.

How to Judge SPLIT HITS … Everything You Need to Know

Good point. Understood. I guess I didn't want to emphasize it too much since it is such a rare occurrence.

PS: I'm surprised you didn't complain about the length of this one like you have about other long videos in the past. But I am glad you seemed to make it all the way through. Good job! 🤓
I absolutely picked up on the very thin hit, object ball being hit twice and looking like a good hit even though it was in fact a bad hit and the need for slo-mo video to catch it. I only watched the video once but I felt it was made plainly clear.

Did Adam ever build Karella cues?

According to the Blue Book of Pool Cues, Karella cues were made since 1993 till 2005 in Thailand for Competition Sports.
So I don't think that they were made by Adam that operated from Japan.

Some of them looked very different then others though. Very different styles, and different style rubber bumpers, if that even says anything about them. Just seems that the brand was made by different factories, and in very different styles, but I do not know. Some were even made for three cushion billiards, with the long wooden joint pin, coming out of the shaft.

I guess that none of that means anything though. They may have still all been made in the same factory.

Some (with just a K logo) were even said to have been made by Joss, lol. I found that one hard to believe though.
