2026 USA National Championships - DBQ

Nearby decent hotels are surprisingly expensive at about $200 a night. There are some shitty ones for under $100 that are a short drive away.
The recommended hotel is the Holiday Inn on Main Street. The tournament rate there with tax was $145/night. I've stayed there before, and it's a nice hotel. It's a little over half a mile from the convention center.

cue ID help

I think the first one is an Adam but I am not positive. The 2nd cue maybe an Adam but I am just guessing on that one. If it is a cheap import, it is the nicest one I have ever seen. Extremely well made, dead straight, with perfect inlays, clean sharp points, and you cant feel the rings. I haven't ruled that out but it seems way to nice.
Cheap?

High value is what I had said.

As garczar said, most likely Kao.

Adam did collaborate with Kao. I posted about that recently.

Kao did and does make "nice" cues.

It is what it is.

What are you looking to do? Play them? Sell them?

$1.5M first place prize for Chinese tournament next week

Krause apparently in the final 64, with the field spit between the good Chinese players and everyone else who is learning to play nine ball on Chinese tables. Krause is in the later group, I wonder when the brackets merge?

Brackets already merged and Krause was knocked out earlier this morning.

I think I have seen them both.

The first one is nice. I like it.

"High value" when you consider the work that goes into them.

If you're into a fancy cue and don't have much money it's an option.

Most people aren't terribly serious about pool and cues anyway, and honestly you could do well with a cue like that.

Jump Cue Question

Does anybody own this jump cue? If not has anybody ever tried jumping with it?

Just looking for some opinions here.
