Straight pool is not made for sub 4" pockets.

I think this is a smart partnership. I believe Justin when he says he’s waited to be sponsored by the right cue company.w
Love them or hate them Viking is USA made. The addition of Whyte Shafts makes a fantastic combo.
He’s definitely my favorite player and it’s pretty cool as a fan that he’s using the brands I choose also.

It doesn’t surprise me that he’s talking positively about the feel of both together. Also the amount of deflection in the T60 shaft is appropriate in my opinion for a player transitioning from Kielwood.

I just wish Justin and Viking both continued success with his new partnership and I’m sure it’s going to be very helpful in seeing him represent at the events even more now.

P.S. Fingers crossed for an Bergman Signature model Viking …

That's an odd one. I saw it ages ago and I wanna remember reading the book (not even sure there is a book) and of course I don't remember what it was about. Jail, labor crew, some eggs, that's it.

FYI, there at 10 money spots available, and only 4 people have participated to date. It would be sad if money goes unclaimed. For the current standings and for info on how to participate, see: $3,000 Billiard University (BU) Draw/Follow Challenge.

FYI, there is an advantage to locking in scores early since a tie goes to the first person who posted.

If you could recommend one beginner tip, article topic, or lesson that every new player should learn early on, what would it be?

Magic eraser (melamine sponge) used gently (they're very abrasive) might clear them up.

I would advise against that.
