What would one of the Miller Lite cues run? I want a nicer one for a bar cue.

You don't even see world class players doing this, if you have a break gimmick you should never lose. I've played and watched a ton of 10b and i never see many balls made much less B-n-r's. And you have to smoke em to open the rack. Can't powder-puff the break. Just a better game than 9b for better players.

The misspelling gets some attention, they are "collectible". Made about 1980.

Good quality cue from Adam. Notice the grain in the joint ring, that is phenolic, not plastic like the lower end cues. Same with the black in the butt sleeve, a phenolic.

The condition is important, and that looks like it is probably in great condition.

I would say it's worth a couple hundred. The higher models with points, veneers, and fancier butt sleeve are worth more.

They made exactly the same cue, with the misspelling, and the Miller Lite logo, which is more rare.

These are much better than the Kao Kao made Miller Lite cues that were marketed by Steve Mizerak's company.

I watched the whole match. Robbie was breaking the same as 80-90% of the top pros.

The guys like Shane, Biggest Kaçi and Shaw are the exception that thump the break more, IMO.

Unless MR sent something out to everyone or said something at the players meeting, it seems odd to suddenly enforce it with a foul, especially with someone who is far from the worst offender. Especially in this case when he did hit it harder than he had before but just caught it thin.

For the example on the left (kicking to the corner pocket):

- The CB is 2 diamonds "vertically" from the kick/bank cushion, and the kick/bank cushion is 4 diamonds "vertically" from the target - so the CB's total "vertical" travel to the target is 6 diamonds, and the CB travels 1/3 of that total distance to reach the kick/bank cushion.

- If the CB travels 1/3 of its total "vertical" distance to reach the kick/bank cushion, it must also travel 1/3 of its total "sideways" distance (parallel to the kick/bank cushion) to get there.

The fractions of the CB's "vertical" travel distance are dictated by the position of the CB and the target. The fractions of the CB's "sideways" travel distance are chosen to match the fractions of "vertical" travel distance.

Hope that helps,

It's in Carmichael CA. I'm trying to sell the house and need it out asap. I had posted it for 2k but I just changed it to free if someone ships it.

No, the six would not qualify as one of the last two in this scenario. This is a spot that is less than it might sound, because an astute player giving this spot will sometimes knock the eight ball in on a pushout to, effectively, reduce the spot.

Naw, more than likely just not very smart.
