I'm not a world beater, but I play high ball a touch of inside on that 8...

As far as Styer’s shot at the end of match 5, on new cloth, I’m not sure that inside would’ve reversed the path of the CB off that end cushion enough to have left him easy on the 9. He played it the correct way, he apparently was just afraid of scratching in the side which I’m guessing is why he didn’t stroke it and came up so short.

Is this an Adam early 70s? If yes, can anyone identify the model. IMG_7825.jpgIMG_7826.jpgIMG_7827.jpgIMG_7828.jpgNo maker marks. A friend of mine recently gave it to me and it was his grandfather's.

Longer cue for big tables?

I'm wondering if I'm alone in preferring a longer cue on nine foot tables. I used to play a lot of barbox pool and found a standard cue to be fine, but switching to mine foot tables, I had stroke problems with reachy shots. I started playing with a four inch extension all the time and I've found it very helpful. I find it helps me play more shots with my right arm working nearer to vertical. Anyone else use an extension full time? Are there any cue makers making longer than standard cues?

Been playing with a 4" balance-rite mid cue extension for about 5 years. Love it and will never go back to 58 " cue

Watching Ruslan win the 14.1 championship a few yrs. back, playing all shots with an extension attached, demonstrates that very tall players may well benefit. BUT, I just don’t get why anyone short would reach so far and shoot with a ridiculously long/unstable bridge, when a rake is handy. I seldom miss when using one. Looking down the entire length of the cue is like sighting a rifle, while reaching with an extension is more like shooting from the hip.

That's a fair point. I'm no fan of the rest. Id much prefer a long bridge to using the bridge, betraying my snooker roots.

I cannot recall where I heard it but it was said that Filler plays on his home table, with 4.25 pockets, every day until he runs 200.

Do we have anyone with that work ethic?

Hi Lou!😃
They practice- but not to the same standards
American professionals do not include 14.1 in their arsenals. To their detriment.
