Youth ''In The Booth''

For me, I Want to see.... this New generation of players in the mix of match productions.
I tire of old men talking about the game (I'm 76).
Would truly enjoy a fresh New 2025 perspective from an 18 yr old on match play.... They could start off on the mic with a seasoned/announcer.... that would be Fun !!!!!
I love to hear my kids talk about life.
Have a great Thanksgiving.

Type of joint, material and pin type

Well board does fall within my Master of categories. Growing up adjacent a saw mill to making fine custom furniture.
Cole's senses were so fine tuned that, uh well on a meeting 6 months after I bought my cue from his back up butt and my select from his 5 back up shafts. Cole sais, "I wouldn't be able to shoot with that cue now." So take it for what you want. Every cue has a personality. To be ignorant of; the variables that effect the hit ???? Bill Stroud made Stradivarious cues. His knowledge combined with craftsmanship made for some beautiful instruments.
I did have a friend that got an experimental McDermott with ivory joint and ferrule, FOR $250!!!!! Yikes I hit some balls with it and it definitely talked to me. It was to lust for. Lucky Son of a gun. 🤷‍♂️ Bill Stroud cues started at 1500, Walmart cues start at 20. So if you can't tell the difference......🤷‍♂️
Some wood educate themselves and other wood remain ignorant to their core. Be it maple or purpleheart.

They Don't Make Them Like They Used To, Or Do They?

There was a big Huebler collector in Kansas City that swore that Paul Huebler was the guy that would come in and tune ivory for AE. He supposedly worked for them before going off and founding his pool cue shop.

I asked Stephanie about it and she did not think that was correct but did not know what the name of the guy who was doing it since it was before her and her relatives stepped into their roles. But this guy was literally the only person that knew how to use the machine and when he left/passed away so did that knowledge.
