Scruggs Plain Jane

Yes, Tim did plain jane style cues, usually maple, no points, plain butt plate. They were always the first cues in his brochures. You could have curly maple, Birdseye maple, either unstained or stained. Usually a Delrin butt plate, but he had others, including Ivorine 3. Usually a steel joint, but he would do one in ivory if you wanted it. If ivory, usually a 3/8 pin, whether the normal, or for a short period of time, about 1998 to 2000, an Acme pin was available.

Time for new pool balls - Aramith Tournament Pro-Cup or Brunswick Centennial

I hate to say it but I think the whole Centennials thing is because that was the premium ball for the "old folks" in the old days, I think now Aramith Tournaments are the most desirable ball. After having spent well in excess of a $1,000 on pool balls in the last 15 years I will not be buying anymore Centennials unlesss the formula is changed to Duramith. If you have not played Centennials and Aramith Tournaments side by side you dont know what you dont know. Hmmmmmmmm.
I’ve spent a lotmore than that on pool balls and not all of the sets have been Centennials. My friends have the Aramith and Dynashere pool balls. Aramith has a nice design but some designs are just timeless. Let’s see how you feel in 20 years from now. I won’t be around to nag you but remember my words…..Brunswick Centennial Pool Balls will still be around and still popular with pool players.

Are we all playing with the same leather (layered / solid) tip after 4-6 months?

Sounds like you are trying to improve your game.
Sort of think it's about what you feel comfortable with.
Exactly. Additionally I can pretty much tell what piece of equipment is truly beneficial for me in addition to the psychological effect of shooting with new equipment. For instance after changing from regular Master/Kamui chalk to Taom. Taom singlehandedly eliminated all kicks.

It also helps that I don’t change cues/shafts too often, last year I finally gave in and after almost 20 years I switched from my high deflection Scruggs to a local cuemaker with Revo shaft. Planning to stick with this combo for a long time. During 20 years I tried out a LOT of different cues and shafts.

My point is that I don’t mind investing money on something I can truly count on; I never want to blame my equipment. It’s always the Indian, not the arrow.
