Mark Baer Cues

Mark was a fabulous man from the mid Atlantic area, Fredericksburg, VA.

He was a respected maker who appreciated and sought tradition and top quality in cues.

Mark made his own blanks and other makers purchased them for their cues. He was known for the beautiful pieces of wood he used.

Good guy. Our scene is missing a great guy with his passing.

Ill share a pic of a cocobolo Mark Bear cue here later, I think🙄.

Couple other azbros have his cues too.

2025 Reyes Cup, Oct 16-19, Manilla. Team Asia vs Team World

Johann Chua and Francisco Sanchez Ruiz have been named as the final captain’s picks as expected.

The format for selecting players to the Reyes teams was clearly altered to allow Matchroom to avoid having to remove anyone who qualified via points but did not participate in all major WNT tournaments. I get it, but if that’s what they wanted to avoid, perhaps Matchroom ought to get rid of the rule for next year.

Matchroom will still have to disqualify some players who have enough points to qualify for the Mosconi, namely SVB and Filler. Won’t be a great look.

I credit Matchroom for sticking to its rule, even if I don’t like the rule.
to me it looks like politics is back at the table over the enjoyment of fans (Mosconi and Reyes are all about fun for the fans).
instead of faulting the players, they should do a better job at planning the year and not overlapping events.
If I was at a level of a pro player, a world title would mean to me much more than some open event, both on a personal level and business levels.

Lets talk shop conditions

Hey, neighbor!

I'm in Milwaukee, not far from state fair park actually.

I really appreciate your offer. I am positive I'll take you up on that and pick your brain about some things.

Do you shoot around here?
Mostly stick around the Racine Kenosha area. Its rare that I go up that way to Romines or a tournament. You're also welcome to come down to Kenosha and check out my shop. I'm usually in there every Saturday.
