I watched a live stream of an 800 Fargo rate player, competing in a $20 weekly tournament, recently.

sad that a top pro would come in and take off a small tournament where he was almost sure to win the top money.

maybe some would like it to watch him play or from your seat but it is really un fair. the t.d. should have put a big penalty spot associated when playing him.

if you do, at least tell him you will concede to him if he shows you all the shots and explains what you need to improve on. at least you get a lesson for your money thrown away.
He doesn't have to win. There might be 5-10 players in the 650-750 range in any given weekly tournament at skinny bobs. I am sure he was just getting table time in before the bigger tournament over the weekend. Nobody complains. They are open tournaments.

cue ID help

You are being fooled by the photos. On both cues the inlays are very clean and perfect. No visible fillers and they are straight. The first cue looks like a custom builder or Adam to me. I was hoping somebody had the same cue or a catalog pic. The 2nd cue is the one more in question for me. I based my Koa opinion on the cues on their site. If they build for other brands than this is a possibility.

I think the one in the last pic, with the uneven points looks nice. I see some nice figured BEM in the forearm. Those uneven points looks horrible to me though. And, the inlays in one of the points, from a pic of the other cue, do not look very good to me. They look a little lop sided. A Japanese Made Adam cue would look a lot better. More perfectly aligned with everything.
