Are the bagged ones better? There's a Poolroom supplies only depicts bags. Some of those flippers are ridiculous though.

From what I can tell yes they are better went coming in the resealable bag, at least the 50 I got are. Some of you may have had good luck over the years with getting boxes of them but not me, and its even worse when I had just bought a certain amount from online. The ones I have now are the tits imho. Just wanted to help and share some info as usual. Best of luck.

Early Adam Cue Question

Cornerman
Chopdoc said:
Some years ago I bought an Adam Rambow cue, R/A-7B (Rambow Leather).

I got two shafts with it, then put it away. Both shafts fit the butt perfectly. As I was going through my collection recently I came across it. It caught my attention that the shafts have aluminum inserts. After glancing at pictures on the web, the other examples I find have a couple slight variations in the profiles of the pilot, but all that I came across have brass inserts. Both shafts look like they have the original black pad under the tip. The tips and ferrules look generally original/correct for the cue. The opening of the inserts have two slightly different profiles, but otherwise the shafts seem identical.

I probably noticed the inserts before I even bought it. I might have researched it, but I don't remember and I have no notes on the natter.

I have not taken my own pictures yet, these are cropped from the original sale which I found in my files.

Any thoughts or knowledge of Adam cue shafts with aluminum shaft inserts?

What did the pin look like? Sort of bullet nosed, but the same diameter as the minor?

Bull carbon

Hi, do you know who builds Bull Carbon cues? I never figured out the answer to this, other then what Google AI told me, lol. Serious question, as I would really love to know. Thanks..

It’s not some kind of secret. Bull Carbon is a brand owned by Koda, which is owned by Wes and Jamie Bond.

Wes was the former VP of Sales at Cue and Case Sales. Jamie is the daughter of Jim Lucas, founder and former owner Cue and Case Sales. Lucas is why Lucasi is called Lucasi. Cue and Case was long ago sold, as Jim retired successfully.

Koda is a totally different company than Cue and Case, in case anyone was thinking it was just a renaming thing. Cue and Case was acquired by Escalade Sports ~10 years ago. Koda was founded in 2020..

Ultimate Pool slop rules are the best ever rules in pool. I’m dead serious. They’ve led to some crazy buzzard beating shots.

This is coming from someone who has always despised watching any form of 8 ball before, both local and pro level.

You play good pool the entire match to have someone smash into the rack and put you out of the tourney or cost your team a win.

Meant to add that you also give up 1 (ONE) rack per 40 point UPScore difference, and in that difference they don't start on the + side, you start on the minus side. So a 400 playing a 600 would start off at -5 to 0. Every game the -5 player wins reduces the - by 1, every game the 0 player wins, increases their score by + 1.

Granted, the 600 is supposed to win most of the games, but with a 30 minute match clock, trying to out run those - games is really really tough.

Anniversary values

Steve Dickey
I think the biggest issue with selling an Anniversary, is the market is relatively small. The vast majority of players I know have no idea what an Anniversary or Centennial is, and as a result would pay no more for one than the cost of an average used furniture table. One has to specifically be looking for one, most likely be willing to haul it hundreds of miles, and understand you may still be a few grand short if you want to restore it. Knowing that, when I was looking a few years back, I would have gone 4K for one of these based on what little I can see. They appear to be intact, complete, unmolested examples, with wood vs Formica rails.
