The cue was left in a case for a very long time by the previous owner. The results is ink tranfer into the white material.

Oh man, I was at the DCC one year maybe 2012 or so, and Mike Wong was playing Efren cheap one pocket games (even), like 20 or 40 a game. Efren loses the first game and quits him. He couldn't take how slow he was. I saw it with my own eyes. I was cracking up.

that would lead to believe the table wasnt breaking well for dennis.

The break is a deceiving predictor for the pros. In last year's Reyes Cup, overall, the breaker only won 48% of those racks. The losing team only won 37% of the games they broke.

Apparently (my theory), losing control over a rack when you break dry or foul, outweighs the times you take control over the rack and/or runout.

Lmao back in the day when we were trying to sponsor Mike Wong to the US Open good times good times.

WHAT? I don't remember that? That was the guy that ate his ferrule with the chalk, right? I think he was local to me in the early 2000's in the Philly area (or at least came to the Open events there). He took like 10 min per shot. He was in the finals vs Eddie Abraham in a regional event at my local room in Philly, and the TD went home and left the money because he was taking so long. hahaha. How the f was he a candidate for sponsorship? hahaha

I just got flooded with scammer emailing me selling cue that I posted on WTB section, so I think my email was posted somewhere here so I went back to remove it, you did like my first ever post huh buddy also I wonder what happned to Mike Wong where is he now I thought he was very brave and passionate, or people here will call him delusional, very toxic forum LOL

Pat was in the youtube chat last night for the infamous Daulton vs Boyes US Open match, where Karl called a foul on Daulton for the cb touching his stick as the rack was over. Someone asked why he wasn't doing the stream at the DCC. He said (me paraphrasing) that xpool came in WAY cheaper than him, so DCC chose xpool.

As I'm watching more, Pat was def higher quality overall. From video quality, camera angles, moving camera, sound quality. The only advantage I'd give to xpool is their website is so much easier to navigate how to buy the stream, and how to get to the player.

xpool is not horrible though. Its decent.
