This would be a dandy project cue for a fan of Ernies early work. Most would not touch it unless priced quite low. If Ernie would agree to refurbish the cue that would help but at his age who knows if he would agree to do it— or if it’s actually in a condition to benefit from a refurbishment. My guess as that the cost of the refurbishment by Ernie would far exceed the value of the cue as is. I’ve owned and played with a few Gina’s including a rosewood merry widow that was built around the same era as this cue. I would not set my hopes high that this cue will be a “monster” player. More of a historical novelty cue than anything.

I haven't watched the video but, maybe he's only breaking once a day? Ten racks, once a day, it's feasible he's not learning anything.

One rack per day, it seems. All up on his FleeceBunk reels. No BIH after the break. The wing ball is usually going in.

Oh my!

If, after 10 days, you still can't make the wing ball on the break with a freaking magic rack, you're gonna be there awhile!

I just messaged Lonnie Fox-Raymond (the voice of the WPBA) about this, as soon as she responds I will post it here.

Lonnie replied in record fashion. If a player were to stand up in that situation and point something out the timekeeper would, in fact, have the ability to reset the shot clock.

Great shafts. I have several

Yes, but does the shot clock operator have the ability to pause or reset the clock because or a situation like this?

Sometimes he would bob his head back and forth, sometimes crane his neck on tippy toes, more often than not, just get in position and one pump everything. If the stick's on...
