Another great way to run out, draw over just missing the two ball, completely avoiding the nine and shooting the two/four in the same hole.

Is baby Kaci a turtle or ok to watch?

He is in Vegas selling swag at the APA event.

August it's almost time for Tomahawk!

Whatever tournament Ray Martin won w this Bushka! My personal favorite ever. Second favorite was a Szam w offset rectangle maple boxes in an ebony sleeve. Never could understand why that cue didn’t sell, if I recall correctly it had yellow and red points and was around 7k, now no idea on value, but if I had the money I’d look for both of these cues. Absolutely beautiful examples of the two Legends.

Thank you for the reply and info Chopdoc. You, too, j2pac. Because I forgot to click the "watch" button for the thread, it was your reply that I first noticed.

The case would be in excellent hands with our resident @Chopdoc, should you be inclined to sell.

Looks like a nice paid Vegas vacation, easy hours. Seems he will miss Yuma as well.

All of it comes down to preparation - freewheeling included. Which, besides flipping through the pages of your mind real fast, includes an element of inertia that has to be addressed or it's back to the PSR pedantics.

People are always like, well I've been playing for 30 years and blah blah... Begs the questions; how many years have you been playing real good? Have you ever attained - real good?

hint: Your scalp list is not an indicator.

Two stolen...

About 1965 I had a cue in a locker at the Student Union. One night a bunch of cues disappeared, including mine. Of course, those were the kind of locks that you could get into with a paper clip or a screw driver. Fortunately for me, that cue was a loaner from a friend and he had no interest in pool any more. It was also a really bad cue, as I found out later.

A few years ago, I failed to lock my car at my place and my Predator got taken from the trunk. Relatively quiet residential street.

Was it yout prototype Predator? That cue hit great.

Bump

One shot I usually avoid is - well it's so out of use I don't even have terms for it. You hit the one full and right spin the CB off the bottom rail as flat as possible, all the way to the opposite side rail. The cue ball goes above and past the two - counterintuitive to me but there you are, cake.

It does seem to be laying about right for that shot. I'll try it tomorrow hopefully.

Any idea why the bulk of the players are missing their pictures? Many of the missing pictures are regulars on the WNT, although lower level. Is it self-serve to add your pic? Or Emily and crew must do it?

How about when Owner1 sells the cue to new Owner 2, there’s a actual bill of sale that Owner 2 can submit to change the registration. It includes Owner 1 contact information and Owner 2 plus both of their legible signatures on the Bill of Sale. Owner 2 can submit the Bill of Sale to this Registry or DataBank to get registered as the new owner.

In the example cited about the pawn shop, Owner 2 gets screwed out of pawning his cue and learns a valuable lesson.

How many times is a stolen cue illegally sold or pawned versus how many time does the situation arise with Owner 2
getting gutted at the pool table and can’t pay the rent. There are lots of times when making the rent can be a challenge
for some people, especially with the currently uncertain economical conditions but because of losing at pool, very few
instances, IMO. Cues can get stolen easily and not from your car trunk. Hmn……how about airline travel to an event?

You land successfully at your destination airport but your cue don’t get there, i.e., missing luggage or maybe not inside
yours. Your cues are gone and although some readers might not take their cues with them on a trip, many others do.

Who in TSA or the airline is going to do squat to locate or try recovering your missing pool cues? Well, no one would.
Having a cue registry might not result in recovering your cues but at least there’s be a better chance so why not try?
