Son of a bitch, he did it again. Pool is debatable, but for snooker, Ronnie is indeed the goat.

I've got one and I like it quite a bit. It fits snuggly on a variety of diameters of shafts. My favorite part of the forward extension is that you use your normal shooting geometry and stroke with it.

Any questions about it?

One just sold on eBay. I figured that's why thread got bumped. I almost bought it.

With that kind of restoration would you call that? If its not completely original?

I just don't know why you would cut those. And one of them i can understand.
But Your the expert, they certainly look old.

No expert.

They have already been cut. I wouldn't cut them.

I wouldn't throw them away. And personally, I would prefer not to leave them in their current state.

Century. Decent tables but not built anywhere near as stout as a GC. Made from '68-'95.

Thank you!

If the cue tip lifts the cue ball… that is a foul. That is not what SVB did. The cue ball bounced off the playing surface and was not lifted.

I have 2 …this Merry Widow with leather wrap & I have his Original Phoenix from a 1975 Tournament Mr.Black held in Houston & a guy liked the cue but wanted larger ninlays in the butt section… BOTH ARE AWESOME CUES I’ll have to retake the pics of the Phoenix Cue..

In the WPA rules, intentional miscues are unsportsmanlike conduct. I think that most shots that people would call scoop shots are actually miscues.

Yeah, what he said!

He shot the jump shot exactly as the definition describes.

My reading of the WPA jump shot definition does not preclude a scoop shot: with a scoop shot 1) the cue is elevated, and 2) with an elevated cue there is always a component of force in the downward/vertical direction, so you are in fact "driving the cue ball down into the playing surface" to some degree.
