Luther Lassiter Cue

he like all players used different cues during their time. so few will ever remember for sure if it was one of his that is still alive now.

or one he just signed or someone made it for him and he sold it or gave it away.

but since it has the black tip which he used for a time likely he used it for something. and his signature looks somewhat real.
but would have been worn off if used . so maybe he had it and signed it for someone he sold it to.

Tougher tables did not help USA pros for 20 years

The way I look at it is twofold:

1) Tom Rossman told me that players need some positive feedback. Having said that, I don't understand why everybody brags about having 4.25" pockets or 4.1/8" pockets, etc, etc. That's why I went with 4.75" on my new Diamond Professional. My Gold Crown IV has 4.5" corners and 4.75" sides.

2) If want to shoot into tight pockets and theoretically improve my ball pocketing skills I will put those Pocket Reducers on and shoot into 3" pockets.

Tougher tables did not help USA pros for 20 years

Everyone and their mother says practicing on tougher equipment makes one a better player. USA dominated Mosconi Cup when Gold Crowns were the standard. Once Diamond with 4.5" Pro-Cut pockets took over in the USA from about 2005 until today, Europe has dominated. The tables Europe play on (Dynamic, SAM) don't have nearly the deep shelf the Diamond does, even if the pockets happened to be tightened to the same 4.5" at the mouth.

Food for thought.
