Stay down until the ball enters the pocket

Mark Allen just made an epic recovery er uh steal, In a frame that took over an hour.
His final black had him staying down and motionless Long after the final black dropped.

things that make you say Hmmmm.
Hmmmm? 4 -6 now at this rate it could take a while.
Mark has taken control and sure looks like the favorite, even when behind.

Exactly... A follower rest... Though I've searched high and low for one to fit a Taig lathe (cue smith) and haven't been able to find anything... If anyone knows of one, please let me know...

If you are just trying to turn a 0.525" rod, what you want is a traveling steady rest.

Good morning
I was hoping for some View attachment 901013 View attachment 901014help in figuring out when this cue was made
I recently acquired in a trade
I like older Cues in this seem to fit the bill
But I truly don’t have any idea when it may have been made
I’ve included pic of logo and under bumper
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you

I know you're not going to do it, but if it was a custom made cue under the ramp will be all the information including the original owner. Tim would sometimes make a custom cue for a customer that was one of a kind. Except it wasn't, because he would repeat the design in later cues. He once made me cue with dollar signs in it. Later I saw that particular inlay used in other cues of his.

Yupp thats actually the cue, just before it got shipped away...forever.

The best part of remembering that story, was remembering the reaction from that player ...let's just say, he wasn't thrilled. And as a snooker pro I'm sure he never imagined an avg league banger executing that shot.

Ok let's update then, as it applies to sweaty hands....
Nylon - sucks
Linen double pressed - sucks
Linen single pressed or natural - good
Cortland - never tried
Any other wraps out there we missed ?

I used to have a McDermott that had a cork wrap. I kind of liked it if I remember correctly it was a lot of years ago.
