Sold Palmer Custom Cue (later era) — $65 shipped, bent pin, project cue

A
Palmer Custom Cue, later era (1990s–2000s Palmer Custom Cue Co.) — NOT an Original Palmer, priced accordingly.

Butt: maple forearm with ebony points, MOP diamond inlays in the butt sleeve, checkered ringwork, linen wrap (dirty), butt cap has a small chip. Butt rolls true on its own.
Shaft: NOT a Palmer shaft — mismatched. Rolls true on its own.

The issue, disclosed up front: the joint pin is BENT. Each piece rolls true separately, but assembled the cue has a wobble. Needs a pin replacement — a straightforward lathe job (pin is 5/16-18, measure to confirm).

$65 shipped CONUS, PayPal G&S. Sold as-is for the project, no returns. Prineville, OR.

What do you change first when the break keeps coming up dry?

sciarco, one correction on my answer from earlier, because I do not want to give you the wrong picture: I do not actually play league. I am a recreational player. I play at End Pocket mostly, or Celebrities on Upper James sometimes, sometimes both in the same week when I can get out. If you are ever at either one, come say hello, first rack is on me to say thanks for the welcome.

“Player Ratings” (BD, December, 2020)​

Thanks for adding those, Dave. The ratings video and the December piece are exactly the kind of cross-check I was missing, because right now my number is mostly a guess off ghost sets. I am going to work through that material before I put any stock in a number for myself.

Dead ball hit

Hitting above center does help the cue ball "run cleaner". It also makes the speed control easier.

Appreciate that, Bob. That lines up with what I was feeling on those kicks, I just was not sure I was reading it right. Easier speed control above centre makes sense too, especially on a longer kick where I tend to either float it short or send it too firm. I will keep maha's dead centre point for most shots and save the touch above for when the cue ball really needs to travel clean.

Filler’s 3-Rail Kick in the Reyes Cup … Was it the Right Choice?

Again, watch the shots in the video. That’s what the video is for … showing a wide range of both good and bad outcomes with each approach. The 1-railer had many good outcomes. My feeling is the percentages of good and bad leaves were similar with both approaches.

That helps, Dave. Similar percentages for good and bad leaves either way takes a lot of the argument out of it — then it really does come down to Filler trusting the kick he liked in that moment. I did go back to the video after your first note and the slow three-railer getting stuck close is clearer when you watch the outcomes back to back.
