That's great news. The late release of the 2025 schedule led to an unfortunate situation in which several elite players had to skip the UK Open because they had already committed to an expo in Asia. On average, early release of the schedule suits both the interests of fans and players alike, and should help to strengthen fields.

Here is an up close of the tips and in my opinion they are the original champion tips as I don’t think they are dark enough to be triangles

Are those Triangle tips with a pad or are they Chandivert Champion tips?

Seller required minimum bid of $425 and provided photos and this nothing-like description of the "Vintage Unknown 2-piece Billiard Pool Cue":

Up for your consideration is this sharp looking vintage cue. The weight is 19.2 oz. Butt half measures 29 1/4, the shaft is 29 1/2, together it's 58 3/4. Stainless pin is 5/16•18. Cue has 4 points with multicolor veneers and an Irish green wrap that is nice and tight.​
Shaft lifts at center when rolled, butt half has tiny daylight at the wrap area when rolled. Please review all photos as they are part of the description and best way to determine if the condition meets your standards.​

"nothing-like description"

It's a 14 pin. and I don't know what an "irish green wrap" is except an obfuscation.


The cue is a bit of a train wreck, but I find it very curious. I would buy it in a heartbeat for cheap, but certainly not anything like the starting bid. I just dig curiosities.

I downloaded the pics and looked at them on my big monitor.

The machining marks haven't been polished out of the joint collar or butt sleeve. There are rough grinding marks on the end of the pin.

I think that black butt sleeve might be synthetic, not ebony or any kind of wood.

The wrap looks like natural fibers to be but hasn't been pressed or polished.
