Is this the video? Crane did compete into his 70s when the game had mostly turned to 9-ball.

He was still one of ten best straight poolers at age 65, but it was at age 70 that his game started to fall off quite a bit. He tried playing in the 1986 PBT World 14.1 at age 72 in Philadelphia, but his game had eroded and I'm not sure he ever competed again.

I have had 4 Schon cues, 1 from the Runde era, 1 from the Clark era, and 2 newer Schons.. I felt very little difference between them and my 2 Pechauers and my early Joss West. I recently got my 5th Schon, an R12 Runde Schon and am using it with a Jacoby low deflection shaft. The balance on it seems more forward than any of my previous Schons, and for whatever reason I immediately shot much better with it than any of my others. I had used this shaft on my previous Schon, and had also used an early 312 shaft on some of them. This one seems like magic for some reason, different from any of my previous cues. It helped me go undefeated my last session, so I would vote for the Runde era cues obviously.

I think it is a Robin Bell/Dodson model cue from Adam cue company. If you search, you will find a post on her, straight from her in regards to this line of cues. Dick designed them for her. Search “robin dodson? Post June 1 2007. I think they were made in the mid 90’s

Having a major name is what would draw attention.

Yes. That and a decent director.

Shooting Gallery had a few decent celebs in it. None were A-listers anymore, but they were at one point.

Walken wasnt in Poolhall Junkies enough to save it. Mars was decent though.

I enjoyed both of those even though they dont hold a candle to Color of Money.

When it comes to directors and cinematography, if they pulled Scott Frank from The Queen's Gambit to direct and tried to duplicate the look and feel of that series... that would be ideal. Hell, it could be a remake of The color of Money, just base it on the book this time, which from my understanding, is a lot different then the movie.

I'm amazed anyone paid 40 plus grand for it. Do you know if it ended up in the Glenn collection?
