I really appreciate cues as art form and I'd like to learn more about cue design

I want to learn more about design motifs on cue, such as points, rings, sleeves, etc.

Are there good resources for this?

With so many cues these days being generic and sporty looking, I really do appreciate cues with nice inlays and points (especially sharp, colored points) or other interesting design featurss. I have a fairly generic Meucci but it has this gorgeous rainbow stain, sometimes I take it out of the case just to look at it.

“Less Lucky” Version of 10 Ball?

There is a group in Long Island, NY that does a few call shot, call safe 10 ball events and they do well. But it's an acquired taste. Perosnally, I'd rather watch the pros do call shot, call safe as they are in the different world compared to even the best shortstop players. Those guys and girls barely miss.

Honestly? People should just play express ten ball. I've held a couple of small amateur tournaments in the last two years and people couldn't wait to join. The biggest feedback I got was that the spread after the break gave the game more tactical innings which the lower players liked.
