Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

If you diversify in cues nobody has ever heard of, the only thing you're doing is spreading out your losses over those 4 cues.
You are not collecting, you are investing. Very short term as well. These are two very different things. I have news for you; there is going to be a time where many big names are going to be in that pile if collecting is strictly turned into speculative investment.

Collecting because you love something is very different than collecting to try not to lose money. There are no guarantees for the latter either.

Thoughts ... Russian Kenny is out of prision

Yes. I agree with every word you wrote. Now your name comes up for bid, they ask you if your doing an opening bid you decline.
They ask if anyone else wants to bid on you. Nobody does so you go in the pool.
Now at this certain establishment they say if you are in the pool you are not allowed to bid on the pool. Their rules not mine.
I’ve played in hundreds of tournaments with Calcuttas but they do theirs like this. Not my rules.
We all did that in Syracuse....but everyone just gets a buddy to buy the field that they were in. These guys weren't remotely likely to place anyway...more dead money for the winners.

Buddy Hall - Practice Question

I believe I read awhile back that years ago, down around Shreveport, Buddy Hall practiced one shot all day long at a pool hall. One shot. The same shot. All day long. For hours and hours.

Thoughts on this posters?

There are thousands of shots that are possible on a pool table. Unless it was a fairly routine shot it could have been a shot he would rarely see. However, this does sound like it could be somewhat helpful. As soon as I get over this winter time illness I might start a routine like this.

If that is the case, it could be something he dogged at a critical time. That would be very understandable.

Practice/warmup for me, I do have a specific shot that I shot more then others just to help get dialed in. There have been times where I have dogged a shot when it mattered and next time I hit the table to practice, that shot got at least an hour worth of troubleshooting.

Whenever I focused on a particular shot I would shoot it 100 times (at least) and do it in groups of 10 and record my results. After the 100 shots you should have a semi-reliable percentage of how much you are successful and you can also see if you got better at it.
