Nick shared his big pin Tad with me during my last visit. It still hits GREAT! He said that he kept a piece of duct tape on it for psychological warfare. I guess he worked, he beat a prime time Sigel in the finals to win his first World Straight Pool title. He also went through Chicago before and after the tournament beating the best one pocket players for the cash. He said, in a humble way, he felt like if he could just see the ball he could make it in those days.

It is not rings, the quality of the vid is pretty bad makes it look like it. It is a white letter Nick Varner Joss Cue that Dan Janes made for Varner. He sold these out of his Room. If you notice the inlay on the butt he is using is the same as this one. The one he is using is fancier with Points and inlays in the points. If you notice at the end of the match when he is breaking down his cue you will get a glimpse of the white letters on the shaft collar and joint collar. View attachment 881933

Here is a closeup of the lettering. There were two previous logos that were hand engraved and not perfect decals like this. SRober has some beautiful examples he might share.

Come on now don't be so negative about one of your top 10 players in the USA , the guy won 2018 and 2019 Mosconi cup on his FIRST 2 times, and has been trying his best on everything he does. Name a guy you think more deserve than Styer and why, let me hear that, don't just say you think he is better

I don’t consider him to be a top 10 player irrelevant of Fargo or anything else. Your mention of Mosconi Cup performances doesn’t mean anything as far as I’m concerned as I have no interest in the Mosconi Cup or its format or makeup.

I view this game to be an individual sport and am only really interested in matches, be they action or tournament play that based upon individual performance.

My comment regarding him is based upon observation of him in competition. There are a lot of people in many fields of endeavor with natural or trained skills and abilities at these different fields of endeavor that would seemingly make them viable to be successful at whatever it is they do. Sadly skills, effort are not enough in games such as this. There is a necessity in this game of mental toughness in order to win. I don’t believe that is something that can be obtained through training, it’s something you innately have, or you do not. My opinion is that he is not in possession of it. There are 2 types of players, those that are mentally tough that win the cash and championships, and those who do not. I believe he is of the latter group. YMMV

I'd like to add to the Bulletproof raffle…..The number after the winning number will get a custom made .30cal Bolt Action pen. Example: If #10 wins the cue the #11 wins the pen. If the # is 26 number #1 wins the pen. If the winner is ant-gun I’ll gladly make something else. This is the winning pen or I have a few others. Good luck.
