Who builds the Becue, full pool cues, and are they popular?

Why are you making this about your opinions? I merely posted an example of why I would not pull the trigger on a relatively unknown, expensive cue. It as nothing to do with YOUR purchasing habits. Some people care about resale, others do not......So what?

Predator, Schon, J Flowers, Cuetec, Meucci all make for easy and quick sales in the used market. Predators and Schons hold their value quite well.

You posted what if it is a "bad playing" cue, that is an opinion, you should spend your money on what you think is best for you, if I didn't love my Becue I would sell it at a loss and move on, I posted the pictures of my David Tice custom cue so you would know it's not about the money, that cue was far more expensive, there are many great playing cues out there, I owned a Predator cue, it played very well, no cue I have ever owned has played as consistently as my Becues, cue to cue and shaft to shaft, the sound of my Becue is a lot like the sound of my David Tice cue, if you don't like that sound you shouldn't buy one, it's just not the cue for you, good luck in finding one that is perfect for you 😉

Sad to see so many Americans writing off this team.

It's only day 1 and things can only get better.

I have tickets for day 2, 3 and 4, because I believe in Team USA.

Skyler looked very upset at the end of day 1, so he will come out firing today.

My prediction for day 2 is 4-1 to USA.

So Europe 5-4 after day 2.

Normally in pool leagues I've played in everyone picked their best players first to try to get momentum. But I've played in teams with a few captains who when they knew we were playing a better team would play the weakest players first. Yeah you have to come from behind, but you are giving your better players matches they are more likely to win and the weaker players were probably going to lose anyhow.

If I was in charge of Team USA I would have put Tyler and Billy on first. I think Gorst and SVB would have been favourites to beat Mouritz and Lubitis and you'd at least have 1 point. Team Europe was meant to be hampered by having 2 rookies and nobody would know how they'd deal with the atmosphere. You basically gave them a confidence boost the first day putting Tyler out against them

Mouritz and Lubitis are machines. They played stronger than anybody yesterday except possibly Shaw.

This is gonna be fake news. Are we to believe that Matchroom, who desperately wants/needs the USA to be competitive, is actively giving Team Europe an advantage like that?

I have no idea what the specific arrangements were or whether MR provided support.

What I do know is that I was at the International Open a couple of weeks ago and the word was that the Europeans where not in attendance because they had decided to stay close (Scotland?) and prepare as a team in the days leading up to the MC. I think the US players were at various events, or none at all, like the Ultimate and the International.

If any of that is true I have no idea what kind of equipment the Europeans were practicing on... but I kinda doubt it was a GC3 with 5" pockets.

Extra Deflection on Mosconi Cup Table??

Kim Bye
Well It's the same for every player, so that's a moot point
Bob Jewett said:
While it's the same table for both players, the players have different experiences and those who have been on a lot of new cloth will have an advantage. A mid-level player only gets to play on new cloth once every year or two when his home room finally changes it. That puts him at an additional disadvantage when he tries to play in a major event against players who play important matches on slick equipment multiple times per year.

I get that Bob, but we are talking Mosconi cup level players here. These are supposed to be some of the best players in the world. These players play under all kinds of conditions with all kinds of equipment, some of the skill for a pro is to quickly be able to adapt to new circumstances.
I think the notion of 100% identical conditions in any sport is unobtainable, there will always be variations and in that respect a sport like pool is a much more controlled enviroment than say golf, ski jumping, or any sport that takes place outside for that matter
