A guy explained the reflection method years ago and it made perfect sense. Now I can't even picture it. May be useful for actual players - take the sweat out of certain shots.I have not seen anyone mention lights or the light reflection on the object ball. I use that a lot when I can, I know I cant be the only one who does that.
I'm jealous! my rails have a decent number of dents etc... not sure it would be worth the cost to repair or replace... it does nag me though.
Ok. Jack is obviously a common nickname for John.I see that it is listed in Wikipedia, but prior references had all said Jack. Not sure why they changed the name to John in the article, but notice there is no wiki page for a John Carr billiard player.
It lets you see through an opaque ball. Cool part for me.To me it appears as a 3d image of a circumference (the "equator") on a clear CB - an ellipse from any angle except from straight overhead.

I’ll re-ask on the date as I think he made a mistake. (Edit: he’s now saying early 90’s)Edit: Thanks a lot to "Cornerman" below, for letting me know that this Karella cue was probably built by KPS in Taiwan (maybe in the late 80's, he said), in Ernie Chen's pool cue factory. The same factory that built Falcon cues, I believe.
I can see my post is misleading or plain incorrect . Don says he never walked away from Karella.There’s a bit of timeline to this, Both Pete and Don walked away from this venture when the first batch of cues came. Several years later, Spektar restarted Karella alone. Pete gave permission to continue using the name. The Karella Cue Company were not part of Adam or Competition sports at the onset.
