Of course its made with real wood, then covered with a decal of simulation wood. SMH.

Lol, AI is telling me that PureX cues have real Rengas wood in them.

But everyone here is telling me that the Rengas is just a Decal / Graphic. That the entire cue is just a Decal / Graphic / Overlay cue. Overlay, over some really cheap piece of Maple? Would love to learn the truth about how these cues are made.

The so called Graphics sure do look real to me.

your absolutely right. and the rich even if doing nothing are creating jobs and helping people.

as their money is working someplace and someone is using it for good things.
and they spend more and that creates jobs and opportunities for those that want to improve their lot in life.

Also, I have an Earl story. One time I was watching a young Earl (21-22) practice before a match. For some unknown reason, he started shooting out of a corner jaw to a ball in the middle of the table exactly straight into the far corner. He was jacking up way more than he needed to and hitting it as hard as a break shot. I don't know why he was doing that. He probably shot that shot 20 times and probably made 17 or 18. It was scary weird to watch someone shoot that hard and that straight while jacked up out of the corner and be that accurate.

I have a similar story. I was at the US Open in the early 90s and watched Earl warm up. He repeatedly shot the shot you described, except that he drew the cue ball back to the end rail (and I don't remember him missing any of the shots).

So my choice would be Earl in his prime. Incidentally, I heard Jim Wych in an interview say that he would choose Earl to shoot the shot if his life was on the line.

Buy a black sharpie and see if you can scratch a tiny bit off with a sewing needle. Or, run it through the most sophisticated airport scan you can find.

To me, the black looks a little solid pitchy for pieces of wood.

Same stick?

I am having a hard time finding info on the new Gold Crown VII. On the Brunswick Billiards website it only shows the Gold Crown VI. Anybody know where I can get more info regarding the Gold Crown VII?

And yes, I know what everyone is thinking. I already have the Gold Crown IV and also have a Diamond Professional on order. Why are you already thinking about a Gold Crown VII? Well, because that might be the long range plan. One of these days, a year or two down the road, I might decide to sell either the GCIV or the Diamond Professional and then buy a new Gold Crown VII. And who knows, by then it might be time for the Gold Crown VIII.

Just have to see how all of this plays out. It's always nice to make long range plans though. And I am having a hard time making those long range plans since I can't find much info on the new Gold Crown VII.
