Evan Clarke switched away from using ivory before leaving Schon. He said that the material he switched to was superior to ivory, machined better than ivory, and cost MORE than ivory.

They no longer made the SP-40 by the time Evan left, it was the STL-13 by then, the SP-40 had Ivory most likely. He moved away from Ivory because of the restrictions most likely and not a functional issue or aesthetics.

What era of Schon plays best? (Cue Geek Talk)

Matt_24
In terms of collectibility, there are some legendary cues from the Runde and Clarke era.

In terms of playability there were some killers playing real good with clarke made Schons. Johnny Archer, Reed Pierce, Shannon Daulton, Jimmy Wetch…to name just a few. I can name more but hoping someone else might chime in.

I love Runde era Schons as well! Grady did play and make it to the finals with Nick in the 89 Brunswick open, using a Runde Made Schon. Can you think of any other great players who used a Runde Schon?

I purchased this STL 15 that Evan made with a unique orange veneer. It plays superb!

Thoughts?

The state of tooling engineering in the US is in dire need. Watch this video starting at 28 minutes, but also watch the whole thing because it is interesting. It is very difficult to manufacture in entirety here.

By the way I ended up buying the smarter scrubber to support him, and it is indeed a high quality product.

Never even heard of him and that's not far from here. There's only 5 names on there I recognize from Southern Illinois, a handful towards the top from the quad cities minus Bowman and 2 at the top are more St Louis players. I talked with Dunklin at a tourney once, he's a really nice guy and highly respected by all the top players. He was telling stories and one time him an Hennessee won some $ in Danville, Il then got robbed!!

I have heard the story behind them being robbed.

Mosconi Cup 2025, Dec. 3-6, Alexandra Palace, London

While MC is probably one of the most entertaining event to watch, I had hoped team USA would throw in a rookie or two. Now the interest and focus is on Pijus and Moritz how they will handle the pressure. I just wish it the match will be an even one until the end, when the scoreline gets one-sided, the tension is gone.

I surely hope World Cup of Pool would return to the calendar, especially now that MR and WPA at least seemingly have buried the hatchet. Predator already introduced doubles events, probably MR will follow suit soon 🧐☺️

Not sure why people are downplaying the "rookies" like they have an enormous weight on their shoulders. Filler and I believe Sky, we're MVPs in their rookie year. I'll take Pijus and Moritz over anyone in the USA team given how they are playing TODAY.

Matchroom, WNT, Mosconi Cup, and American Pro Pool

No World Pool Masters this year despite Emily Frazer announcing publicly at the US Open in August that it would be in early November (no specific date given). I certainly don't mind changes in plans for valid reasons, and the calendar has been quite full since then. But don't just announce something and then say nothing more about it when plans change (significantly).

[Is it possible that Matchroom did make an announcement about no WPM this year and I just didn't see it?]

Agreed, I miss World Pool Masters, and it's a shame the event with so deep history all of a sudden got dropped. And World Cup of Pool is (was) so much entertaining! I loved watching playing styles collide within a team.
