Great shot!(in a very sarcastic tone) helps me come with an inspirational recovery

Do you actually want to see them? You will find things like full splice with veneers, real ebony, real wood dashed rings, and other such features you might not like.

i like all of that actually. i agree on the metal railroad rings on the schons, i just picked an example of the overall style. SW style rings would be my favorite for rings, but simpler wood dashed can be nice too

I think all production cue companies made some ugly cues back then but a lot of good looking cues were made also. There are so many more made today that I can't stand.

I always liked playing with Meucci and Joss cues but here's a 70's McDermott that I think looks great

It's a real mix, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, and beyond. There are the classic "timeless" and then there are those that are more specific to the taste of the time.

I gravitate toward some of the designs of the 50's and 60's because they are nostalgic, not because I think they are particularly handsome. I collect some like that. Early Gandy, late National, Viking, others.

He did say shadows not burn marks

Oh my God, you're embarrassing yourself.

Thats pretty much my internal pep talk and it is of questionable efficacy.

The strings on pins thing is perplexing. A bowler wants to throw strikes, they say strings reduces strike frequency, to me that means less fun for the bowlers. Are they intentionally trying to chase bowlers away??

That’s quite the point, they want everyone that’s not bowling to be interested.

My best performance on the pool table have left me with only the vagest memory of anything other than the last shot. Even then it's just the result as I had to look to confirm that I did shoot the last ball with the other hand.
Practice develops habits, it is hard to practice getting the mind right when on the big stage. It's comforting to be able to fall back on the habits when the pressure starts to make me brain dead.

I’ve always been mesmerized since I was a kid. My grade school friend had a dad that played competitively and actually won a lifetime supple of Reece’s.

As I got older I came to the conclusion I have enough room for a few hobbies and would like ones that I can do throughout my age. Pool was always the obvious choice.
