I know traveling gets old after a while, but after reading your posts, easyeyes posts and others on here about traveling to all these other cities and being able to shoot pool with people you've never met, I really envy you guys for that.
There is a lot of good things about pool, and this forum also for all it provides.

I think in Manila, the venue could support only a few tables, and so the number of matches had to be reduced.

In the case of Yuma, I think it is an experiment in adjusting the amount of effort for the expected turnout while still producing a watchable product. The usual large WNT event has maybe 30 tables. I think it will be more like 8 or 10 tables in Yuma. That's a large reduction in time and staff required to run the event.

it's also half the field.

Was it WNT who did that single elimination tournament recently in the Philipines? Or was it somewhere/someone else? Whatever the case, I remember hearing nothing but good things about it from both spectators and players so I take it they are copying that formula with this.

My Joss's butt is right here -- my avatar.
The Serial Number is E01002. (I understand the "E" indicates an approximate manufacture year of 2004.)

From my SN, Dan Janes was able to tell me that the cue's "company or individual"
was "Valley Forge 2005". The "model" was "custom". Finish date was 3/14/2005*. It was 19 oz. with 13.25 mm shaft. 2005 Super Expo was March 17 to 20 . . .

Mr. Janes was also able to opine that, although he could not be certain, the facts that the cue was "custom" and sold at Valley Forge caused him to conclude that the cue is "only one of its kind".

So, at least as to some cues, Joss can provide the type of data shown above.

Your cutter tip is not at the center of the piece, that's why it is leaving the small piece in the center. You will need to raise your cutter up. To keep it from moving away without holding the wheel, there is a thumb screw directly behind the cross slide this will lock it in place

Thanks for the help. That took care of the problem.

Yes, the Philippines Open. However, I'm guessing that had more to do with it being set in the biggest shopping mall in the middle of the biggest city in the most pool crazed nation on earth. I think the vibe in Yuma might be a bit different.

There are a few sets with that box on ebay right now, but all have different balls in them…

Kind of what I was thinking ... I would probably ask for prior work examples or go to someone else .... Rather have it done right

I saw several examples of his wrap work and it's excellant.
This is a side gig/hobby for him not his main source of income, how many cue repair guys drive a late model Corvette?

I would love to make it out there one day but for now, the furthest I will ever go into long island for pool is Raxx and that's mainly because I have family there. And even getting to Raxx is a long trip as it is.

1st out of 2 Omega/DPK Kersenbrock cues

Well, I was really fortunate to get 2 Omega/DPK cues and this is the 1st. Can't express how exciting I am. They don't show up often. And these two are even rarer. History speaks through them.
Previous owner bought them from Ed Boado, founder of Omega/DPK Cues.
Both cues were made for Hall of Fame player Vivian Villarreal, the only pro sponsored by Omega/DPK.
She was the top female player in the world with these cues, Women’s Player of the year, etc.
The cues have fancy piano key inlays (DPK style), five points, etc.
If you look at design it will remind you on Cognoscenti cues and it is because Joey Gold was hanging out at their shop and DPK certainly has an impact on his work.

Enjoy!

I have some really cool, original DPK flyers and postcard(s).
