Assuming the "we" and "our" is referring to what many refer to as "American pool". I think what you are seeing is that only foreign companies seem to have any interest in supporting and promoting pool, so naturally the game has evolved more towards their traditions and conditions.


Personally, I think the IPT formula of playing 8 ball on a heavy napped cloth was much more "Brilliant" than anything Emily and MR has come up with. Too bad that all ended the way it did.

That Mali was designed to unscrew at that point and came with weights to put there, I believe brass. They had adjustable weights.

Some are missing the weights.

That's a very different design. The Adam does not unscrew.

I'm not talking about the screw I'm talking about the pin that holds that piece of wood in place it looks like a black circle

Faster doesn't bother me. Tightening the living shit out of pool tables does. Only makes the game harder, not better.

I don't think it makes it harder I think it makes it more likely for you to play defense than take the shot, I have heard it said today's players are like robots, they have to be, why take a challenging shot when you can play a lock up safety with such tight pockets, if the pockets were 4 1/4" with a little wider angle opening, then the player has to decide safety or shot and playing safe becomes harder too, IMHO today's game is a defense oriented game instead of an offensive game, an offensive game plays better on TV as well.

I say that because it appears to be a wood to wood joint that is pinned. I suppose they could have used aluminum or brass in the joint but they definitely didn't use any steel to weight the cue. I can run a magnet across the whole cue and nothing hits. I can't say that about all my cues. Early mail cues feature the same construction techniques.

That is one crazy twist it took coming back off that rail
