good match, good win by wiktor. came back against atencio to win on the hill with a BNR

I agree with playing on big tables, when you are still young. Snooker is the best for developing good mechanics IMO.

Didn't Sky recently get married? Maybe he is still mentally in Honeymoon mode. Here's hoping he had a great wedding and will be back in top form soon.

Just sharing mine. It seems pretty evident from 70s, early 80s at latest, but can't find it in any catalogs. Has a sticker with what appears to be an M on it. Maybe the Adam folks that see this will know right off what line it is from.

Has a weird wrap on it......at least it feels very course. Blue Mountain maybe? Wish I knew more about the old wraps and how to tell them apart.

3 sets of inlays in the butt sleeve vs 4 points.

That's a Murrey branded Adam cue!

We have the catalog of them made by Viking. I have yet to see a Murrey catalog with the cues made by Adam.

I think the difference in throw between a waxed/lubricated ball and a normal ball could be that large with a slow stun shot at that angle.

Maybe...if by "normal ball" you mean one of my 18-year-old balls on my home table that I wash once every leap year. If I was playing in my home table, then yes I probably would have compensated for that much CIT on a slow stun shot. But this is an international tournament and not my home table with dirty/old equipment. I doubt these players are calculating that much CIT on each cut shot.

But as I said I think a more probable explanation, other than him misjudging or mishitting the shot severely, was that there was too much friction at contact (skid) and outside english threw it too much. I believe that is why Dennis asked for the CB to be cleaned immediately.

You'll be the first to know (50-some years so far…).

If you can’t count on instantaneous ignition you are a dead duck.

I do love my BK Rush. However, my buddy has the new Bull Carbon Break Cue and it hits 'em every bit as good as my Predator and it's $200 cheaper.

Love it! Tired? No way. Beautiful does not get old.

I have a 6 point ebony into maple coming, not a custom, not full splice, but an old custom ordered production cue with a cool twist. It will fit into the group i posted at the top of this thread.

I also have a top secret special plan for it that will completely change the look of the cue. Details will be revealed, with pictures, as the plan unfolds.

Great cue to post in this thread! Thanks for showing off!

will play next against mustafa alnar, who is super slow. if that match is on a tv table someone needs firing

If you are current with your practice... Right away. Even when being in practice I like to take 1-5 warm up strokes. It doesn't usually take more then a couple strokes to get one that feels right, like everything clicked. 1 smooth stroke is enough dopamine to tell my brain I am ready for action.

Not sure if I am following you correctly but I checked Predator's top 5 authorized dealers in the first hour of the release and none of them had even the product listing page except Seybert's who probably created the page just for search engine traffic. 99% sure they never had any stock.

I keep saying resellers, but what I mean is scalpers.

I saw when Seybert's added the new green cues to their website, probably within 10 minutes of when they were added. They were immediately sold out.

Maybe Yang thought the reason he overcut it so much is because of the lack of CIT (collision induced throw)? Lol...not if he missed as much as he did.
