2026 Reyes Cup - October 15-18

When Team "Rest of World" showed up without SVB and Filler, the 2025 Reyes Cup was already over. The event was completely unwatchable.

To be fair, Team Asia might smoke Team ROW again this year, but if they do, let's hope that politics won't have diluted Team ROW the way they did last year, when Matchroom shot itself in the foot and ruined the event.

As an event, the Reyes Cup has yet to deliver. With or without the Reyes Cup, we all know how great the Asian pool players are.

... and yet, for what it's worth, Asia hasn't looked better than Europe in the two events played in Asia over the past two weeks. At the World 10 ball in Vietnam last week, all four semifinalists were European. At this week's Bali 10ball, Mi Le, who will play in the final shortly, was the only Asian in the semis, joined by three Europeans. Let's add that not even one Asian has won a WNT major in 2026.

1984 Ray Schuler?

B
Thank you. I went back and looked at it again, and I think you may be right that it is 116 rather than 911. It is very small, and I originally read it as 911. The possibility that it is 116 grams makes a lot of sense. Interestingly, the dealer's handwritten card also contains “472/116/750 P.” Do you know whether Schuler marked shaft weights in grams on the shaft itself? And if so, does the “P” indicate a taper?

Help identifying an old unmarked cue – 5/16-18, veneered points

MapleCueVault
Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone can help me identify this older cue butt.

There are no visible logos, signatures or markings, and unfortunately I do not have the original shaft.

The cue has what appears to be a 5/16-18 brass joint pin.

It has a traditional maple forearm with long points and multiple veneers, a linen wrap, a dark wood butt sleeve with a maple “window” section, metal/black ringwork, a large cream-colored butt cap and a rounded black bumper.

I also removed the bumper. There is a recessed cavity underneath, but no weight bolt is currently installed.

Early Mali has been suggested as a possibility, but I haven’t been able to find an exact model match, so I don’t want to assume the maker.
Does anyone recognize the maker, approximate era, or possibly the model? I’d also be interested to know if the 5/16-18 brass pin, butt construction or ringwork points toward a particular maker.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Here is some picture that i took.

Thanks for the tip Bob.
I'm not sure if lou's still around or not. I'll have to check. There might be a couple hiding out down here, but you make a good point.

What was once a Mecca has devolved into what it is today. Leagues and barboxes.

I shouldn't view them in a negative context. Kept the game alive here. I should be grateful, if nothing else.

I'm around in the mornings at Teachers -- don't go out much at night anymores.

We can play cheap and you can ask anything you want.

You need time on the table staring at situations and finding solutions. You need a fairly good player as an opponent to put you in those situations and to show you why your solutions are no good at first.

If only there was a patient one pocket player there in St. Louis who could spar with you.
