Im 78 years old and have played pool foe 70 yrs. After owning many great cues the cue maker builds thier cues with different hits and shaft taper and tip ferrul plus a good tip have always been the standard for me. My Samboti had the best hit with very little deflection with a medium triangle...
shane has lots of friends in colorado and this presents a good opportunity to se them. shane has spent his pool experience to playing the best players he could find including going to the Phillipine many times just to play the best players.
I believe Shane has been working on his break a lot and has found something for him. He seldom scratched and his spreads were better. Hes even making the wing ball more often. this is no fluke. The nine on the spot is a Finess break and easier for someone with less power.
After great success with southwest over the years I thought id try a carbon fiber cue after trying a couple of name brands I settled on a jflowers cue with smo shaft. Finding the right tip took some time but my old trusty milk dud gave me great performance from the shaft. after taking time...
WOW Im reading some interesting post about svb. His record of Tournament wins speaks for itself and his dominance for years...They changed the nineball break without a doubt because of shanes dominance..No other sport changes the rules as much as pocket billiards and athletes in other sports...
Depends how bad SVBwants it. If someone can stir his fire to outdo Earl he could win his Sixth. He still shows signs of greatness when he wants to. He has plenty of money but needs more desire to win and put in the time. He knows what it takes.
I saw neils and ralph together at a Huebler cup in Palm Springs in !999. They were not in the Tournament but were looking for action. And Ralph Souquet had collar length hair and some on top also.
Kent Taylor was a very respectable player that had his great moments. Kent was better known as a cue maker that built cues that had accuracy and feel not found except in great cue makers cues. sorry to hear about his passing as we will miss his entertaining pool stories. Rest in peace my friend.
