Respectfully disagree. Tournament blue was chosen after a scientific study of colors and contrast. Not an accident that the US Open Tennis tournament surface is practically the same color.

Tennis doesn't use blue colored balls. For me, both the 2 and sometimes the 10 can lose their edges a bit on the tournament blue cloth. Really, any of the darker colors can be problematic at times, especially under substandard bar lighting. Lighter cloth colors provide much better contrast across all used pool ball colors, and most lighting situations.

matlock plays 3c at a high level. yrs back efren said he was the best american pool player playing 3c. they played up in Olathe a few times.

In the 'Mid 90's' I offered him 50-35, he refused!

'Boston Shorty' & Dallas West were the Pool players that played 3C!

How do you play the 1 2 4 5 sequence? Sky dogged it.
View attachment 921210

Cue ball off the `short rail parallel to the 2, roll cut the 2 to the 3, better off being a little high on the 3 allowing you to play shape for either foot pocket for the four, key is your shape angle for 2/3

rafael martinez could probably do some damage in his prime?

In 1986 I gave Him 7 on 30 for $300 a game at the Chicago Billiard Cafe!

He lost 2 games!

BTW, about Rafael, 'Big' Stroke' most likely helped him playing 9 ball!

Like most Mexican 3C players from the past, heavy hitters, the Big stroke got him in more trouble than out of it!

He didn't have 'Technique/Strategy/Finesse' to go to the next level!

Marco Marquez and he would be an even game!

Aesthetically is purely your opinion .. I think blue looks much better but I’m fine with blue or green as long as it’s not red. Lol

Yeah that's true of course. But fortunately for me, my opinion is the only one that matters

3/8-10 shaft thread and 3/8-10 mod pin. Shouldn’t need to be tapped, just bore out the threads to fit the inner diameter of the pin.

I’d also confirm the shaft is really a 3/8-10 if you haven’t already.

Yep, I've had to get this done to several shafts to fit a 3/8x10 modified. I'm lucky enough to have a couple cue makers and a repair guy near me to take care of this.

David seems a little off as of late, losing 7/1 twice in Ultimate Pool.

For sale is a great budget/starter break/play cue deal. The butt/shafts are all in used but very good condition. The butt collar has a few small knicks/marks (see pictures). Otherwise all are in great shape.

Asking $275 shipped via PayPal F&F, G&S +4%, or Venmo
Also interested in trades for jump cues (+/- cash). Please reach out to me with any offers!

Included is:
-Viking Valhalla VA110 Butt/Play Shaft
—Tip upgraded to Zan Hybrid Max
—5/16x18 joint
—Shaft weight: 4 oz
—Butt weight (current bolt configuration): 16oz
-Raven Break Shaft
—Tip upgraded to White Diamond Break Jump Tip

-Viking Weight Bolt 3-Pack
-Eklind 12”-Long 1/4” T-Handle Allen Key (for weight bolts)
-4-in-1 Tip Tool
-Joint protectors for the butt & both shafts

Additional info: I have had the Viking Valhalla for ~2 years and played on it consistently for ~9 months before changing cues. I swapped the tip to the Zan ~3 months ago to test it out and hit with it maybe 5-10 times. Otherwise the Valhalla shaft has sat untouched since changing cues. The butt has been used consistently for breaking for ~6 months, which is when I got the Raven break shaft. The White Diamond tip was installed on the Raven ~3 months ago.

Please reach out with any additional questions. Will be happy to hop on a call or FaceTime as well.

Can you still run packages? Or too old now?

Greg, you have a lot of posts on this thread. Many include instruction to "not be negative"

Well in my best comeback, my malady was dogging easy balls to dig the hole. My recovery thought was. "Just make him earn it."
Pretty sure "Don't Dog it" would have failed. Thankfully the make him earn it worked on that occasion. Well it helped me to Get My Mind Right.
