Hello, does anyone here have copies of the old John Wright cue sale pages that he mailed out? And/or any of the photos?

Looking for pages older than the Palmer Collector website, no need to show those.

Will gladly pay for a copy of a specific page from ~1990.

Will also pay for a referral that leads to the pages

Thank you for your consideration

Richard Black Cue

P
I have for sale a Richard Black cue from around 1976 (according to Mr. Black). He has confirmed by email that he made the cue. He wrote that it was around 1976, when he built it. The cue is in playing condition, because it has been safely stored many years. The shaft is birds eye maple. The cue comes with an additional shaft for breaking (not built by Mr. Black) and a 45 year old case.
In the late 1970's, I purchased the cue from Dorthy Wise, a women's open pool champion for five years. Mr. Black confirmed he built a cue for Ms. Wise around the same time, 1976. Unfortunately, Ms. Wise is no longer with us to provide a confirmation of sale. Being a young guy at the time, I never asked for a receipt. There is a great tribute to her within a forum here on azbillards. She treated me with great kindness.
I am offering the cue for sale at $4,500.00 or any higher offer. Mr. Black's previously owned cues have been advertised for a high of $7,000.00.

For those of You that don't know... The BreakRAK is getting some attention...

Google has defined it as; A BreakRAK is a training tool for pool players designed to simulate the resistance of a full rack of balls during a break shot, allowing for repetitive practice without the need to constantly re-rack. It helps players focus on their break shot mechanics, cue ball control, and power delivery.

Here's a more detailed explanation:
  • Purpose:
    The BreakRAK is specifically designed to improve the break shot in pool, a crucial element of the game.

  • How it works:
    Instead of racking and breaking a full set of balls repeatedly, the BreakRAK provides a consistent, simulated resistance, allowing players to focus on refining their technique.
    • Increase break shot repetition: Practice the break more frequently without the time and effort of re-racking.

    • Refine technique: Focus on stroke mechanics, cue ball control, and power delivery.

    • Improve accuracy and consistency: Repetitive practice with the BreakRAK helps develop muscle memory and improve overall breaking ability.
  • Availability:
    BreakRAK is available for different table sizes (7, 8, and 9-foot).

  • Professional endorsement:
    The BreakRAK has received positive feedback from pool instructors and players, including professional instructors according to BreakRAK testimonials.

How Do You Get Out Here?

I tried all the options in this thread. Nothing came remotely close to the position this option got. It took me 20 min of practice to get it (that time is including trying the other options), but once I did, I got perfect postion 9 out of 11 times. These last 11 trials are without edit, just skipping the setup time between shots. The key is to follow through super good so the CB arcs. It will work out great with a hair inside or a hair of outside, as long as the follow through is a 10/10. Cloth is Simonis 860 installed in 2012. CB is @nataddrho DigiBall. Video is 1 min 40 sec long.

The CB was very helpful in nailing down the shot. I was looking at the screen after each shot and seeing how I hit it. That's how I figured out both inside and outside work, depending on how much arc the CB gets.

I just tried the setup on my carom table but I put pretty much Max Draw and just a hair of Right and basically got the same pattern/path you got on most of those attempts. The difference IMO between your attempts and mine is draw doesn't take as much cue tip speed as with follow.

It will surprise some, what can be done with the CB on a thin hit and straight draw or maybe just favoring right or left spin.

The 1st and 3rd shot is what I'm talking about. Thin hit, Max draw. It may not be obvious but he can't see the short rail in the corner, so has to go thin so the 1st rail is further down table for the short rail to become available.

The second shot is drawing the CB off the rail after a thin OB hit.
