Is the 3 leg stool or perhaps whole E Trinity.
Trinity was My high-school. 🤷‍♂️
At address find the plane
Getting to stance get the line.
At Fire the eyes are on the point of entry to whitey with the path through the ball is the focus. As the line was mapped by Data. Stay on the yellow brick road.

Sold 60s/70s Hyatt Brunswick Centennials $100 shipped

T
I came across this set of Vintage Hyatt Brunswick Centennial Balls.
They belonged to the grandfather of the person who I got them from.
I was told they were from the 1960s. I am not an expert, but from context that seems reasonably accurate.

It's a complete set.
If you zoom in there are marks and imperfections, but for their age the condition seems pretty good.
The 6 & 9 have a straight line under the numbers.
They are yellowed and colors have faded over the years, but they still have a good amount of shine.
They would probably clean up a bit nicer if someone was inclined to take the time.

These seem best suited for display or a collection.
$100 (zelle) shipped to CONUS. Black tray not included.

A new Arthur headed to KC

The new Arthur cue finally arrived safely this past Wednesday. It looks and plays great, as expected. If I buy another directly from them, I will definitely see if I can pay extra for DHL to deliver directly to my house. It took two days for the cue to get from Germany to Chicago where DHL handed it off to the USPS....13 days later I got the cue. UGH!!!

Alls well that ends well, the fine folks at Dienst Billiards did an awesome job packing the cue and sent directions on how to add weight to the butt and the new Weight Balance Shafts (WBS) low deflection shafts. I was able to fine tune the shafts to make them the exact same weight. Overall I am very pleased with the look and playability of the cue.

Here are a couple pictures from the pool room. Enjoy and thanks for looking:

I got cue from Japan in a few days, less than a week, via DHL. I don't remember exactly but it blew my mind how fast it was. Faster than our typical carriers like USPS, UPS, FedEx can get it across the country.

I would definitely ask about it and see what it takes. The longer it's out there, the more likely something will go wrong, resulting in damage or loss.

Damn nice cue.

Born Great or Practiced to Greatness

I had an interesting conversation once with an undrafted football player. He mentioned that at the "PRO" level in any sport, the participants are "genetic freaks". They are all born fast, large, smart, dedicated and practice eager. Sooo...can you practice your game into an 800+ Fargo or practice your game into a US Open Championship?

Hmm kind of the whole at what level (I guess Fargo is easiest to gauge now a days) will practice and dedication take you before natural talent is a must have?

I think there’s that other post about the 650 quitting their job to try their hand at the pro scene. Personally, I think anyone can get to that 500 level with practice and effort. 600 requires that natural talent to be there a little. 650 requires both and a lot of time and dedication. 700 is where if you don’t have natural talent then I’m not sure you’ll ever get there. 800 is world class and requires a life dedicated to pool. Not alot of people have the ability, resources, or time.

Very cool cue. I admit, I'm unfamiliar with the cue maker, but really like the build.

Thanks for sharing!
