As mentioned above, collision marks caused by remnant cleaning solution on the balls.

Up to the top Trade up or down is considered.

I don't think Ernie is still working.

If he was, a refinish and rewrap along with a new shafts would be the ticket.

Those old shafts probably aren't straight.

Who else could do the work and match the rings........?

If the butt is warped then it ain't worth much......

When traveling....Amphibious was my method as an on the road player. I never went on the road to play pool. I did however earn gas money on occasion.
I guess the definition of Hustle and Hustler are critical. Pete Rose was known as Charlie Hustle.
Fast Eddie Felson was The Hustler on the tables.

My friend who is the best player in our pool room, uses my Predator Blak break cue with a hard tip as his playing cue. He has run five racks on a row in eight ball. Go figure.

Might want to look at your dictionary last, I think the word you are looking for is ambidextrous.

Well that was a knuckle ball. Yogi is definitely a GOAT at catcher. Yogi Iszms is a whole catagory.....Google it
Another favorite is, "nobody goes there any more. It's too crowded.
Not a knuckle ball not a sinker, perhaps a submarine ball. There is definitely a submarine pitch., definitely, as Rainman would say.

Just because something works, doesn't mean it's right. Brian

I'd say that is exactly the definition of 'right'.

Look at Efren. His stroke wasn't 'right', but it worked so well that you couldn't call it wrong.

Look at how one pocket has changed recently. Guys aren't playing it 'right', but how is it wrong if they keep winning?

This is hitting balls into other balls with a stick, however you do it, it isn't wrong if it works.

Well when a baseball hitter could hit from either side of the plate, Yogi Berra called them Amphibious. So Ronnie O'Sullivan shooting with either hand is Amphibious. His answer of, "it could be either " , when asked which ball last fits in his Amphibious persona.
