The show Mr. Inbetween had an interesting way of looking at something like this. Ray went to collect a debt, and the guy said he didn't have it but would have it later. Ray said he had to tune him up a bit and the guy asked why when he said he'd pay him.

Ray's response was that people needed to see him tuned up and know that was the reason so it discouraged others from doing the same thing.

I don't advocate violence, but maybe someone needed to get tuned up in this.

Im not an advocate of violence either but when your gambling or taking certain kinds of loans out and taking someone to collections or calling a cop isn’t an option people have to know that their are still consequences for their actions.

I'm sure there are a couple members here that are good cue makers.

Why do you keep asking a general group specific questions like this?

How are we supposed to know such things?

AZBilliards encourages discussion and will allow even questions AZers can't answer. Many AZers are anonymous and could include Thomas Haas and Joao.

I'm guessing there is little money for players in Haas-Joao-like games except from gambling.

Viewing the Haas v Joao match on YouTube that lasted over three hours was underwhelming. There must have been a scorekeeper but was there even a referee? I didn't notice an audience and no one there likely paid an admission fee. I doubt YouTube paid them much if anything. I doubt Haas and Joao got money from a sponsor.

Gambling is a problem in sports but it is even more of a problem if players rely on it to get paid.

Paul Dayton, (FL) John Guffey (OK) were definitely underacted cue builders!

Especially for the money!

I like the balls other than the branding on the cueball where you are basically paying a higher price for the balls to come with someone else's logo which you don't want in the first place. Hopefully you will be able to buy a set without that logo.

It comes with 2 cueballs - 1 with the WNT logo and 1 without.

They should ditch the WNT cueball in favor of the “bumblebee” 9ball and a normal 9ball that matches the other stripes. They did something similar back in their cyclops days when they released the 20-piece Ladin set that included 2 normal cueballs along with alternate versions of the 8-9-10 money balls.
