I know one thing, from now on if I was one of these players playing Appleton in the future, I would make sure I use Masters chalk and chalk my tip a little more than needed.

Dirty little misunderstood secret… Competition Sport was not Adam Cues USA. It wasn’t a continuation of Adam. Nothing like that. They were a completely different entity started by Don Spektar, who had no ownership in Adam. There seems to be a confusion that Competition Sports was an extension of Adam USA. It was not.

There’s more, but that’s enough. I can answer any question based on recent interviews (with everyone alive that had something to do with Adam USA and Competition Sports.)

Looks like...

Lost to Thorsten Hohmann, 9-3
Beat Michael Pruitt 8-4
Lost to Chris Melling, 8-4

The Pruitt that I find in Fargo is Mike, not Michael, but if that is him then he is a 590 from Brooklyn, NY.

Well, skids happen, rolls happen. It just seems like some players would prefer matches be held in humidity and climate controlled clean rooms with perhaps a ref to clean the cue ball between each shot.

At what point is the line between valid expectations and peacock prima donna expectations? I’m sure many of us remember backed napped cloth, pool rooms without AC with temps and humidity playing havoc with cloth and rails that were liberally coated with talcum powder from players trying to cope with humidity & balls that’s weren’t always pristine clean and cubes of Masters all over the rails.

Yet somehow 100+ ball runners were fairly common and we dealt with conditions and it made us well rounded mentally tough players. I guess I’m just a dinosaur but it all seems to be becoming a bit prissy to me. Players dog it and reach for the excuse file instead of just owning it and focusing on making the most of their next opportunity.

I wanted to update my earlier post with a picture of the pin, pilot, etc, as well as the butt cap and screw. I feel it could be significant for some to see it.

The Blue labels still bank short. Crazy people like them. It is what it is after 35 year of people complaining. Falling on deaf ears.
