I agree on equal or even better workmanship by some other cue makers. That said he has without a doubt earned his reputation, praise and price point. That didn't happen by accident.

The best players I've ever met all had some form of the 'spectrum' in their makeup.
I'm not speaking of mental illness, per se, like Earl's manic rants, but those people with what today they refer to as a disability, tomorrow will be called gift.
Y'all know of what I speak.
Sketchy, twitchy, personality disorders, anti social tendencies, etc...
Back in the day, substance abuse was used to mask those.
Only way some of those guys could play.
Fire away!!

It’s literally the opening line to my short film about Ronnie Wiseman chasing Billy Incadona for 25 years, called “Chasing Wincardona”

“Pool is the perfect game for those with obsessive compulsive disorders”

OCD, as in chalking their tip 10 times before each shot? One player comes to mind. Jonathan Hennessee. Johnny Archer, with his picking at invisible lent on the cloth. That might be OCD too. A lot of very strong players might have some form of OCD.

I don't know much about OCD and there is a wide spectrum of players, from the very casual to the very serious. From my experience, one MUST be a perfectionist at the very least, to have the drive and discipline to get really good. Of course, there is also the issue of natural talent (of which I have none). A person with natural talent has to work far less for better results.

well there is a pic of a similar one shown that he made. so it looks like it is an original.

Speaking of picking up table lint, I would blame him. I almost never do til I experienced how it affects ball roll.

I played Johnny around 1990. I didn't notice any lint picking then, certainly nothing excessive. I suspect that unnoticed or ignored lint or trash on the table cost him an important win or two to start the habit.

Not as noticeable but I had a two piece get very loose. After that I always picked up my cue with two hands, one above, one below the joint. A quick check to make sure the joint was tight.

I might be mistaken but I think at this point if Johnny doesn't see lint he picks up imaginary lint, part of his preshot routine.
