This is the cue, it looks like you located it with a search: https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/ca-h-cue-out-of-the-old-bill-mcdaniel-shop-in-jackson-tn.558821/

I watched a handful of games and noticed Filler rolling his cue ball on some straight-ish shots. Maybe nothing more than taking extra caution in pocketing the ball, but have to wonder if he's not as confident in his stroke.

I paid $750 for a merry widow with one shaft in test hit condition a few years back. I'd guess $750 - $950 is a reasonable estimate for this one.

I agree, and I think nowadays it would be tough for anyone who doesn't play it to be remotely interested in watching a whole match. I could see some younger rotation players watching a rack or two and then burying their faces in their phones.

I generally say "good match" whatever the result. I think it shows respect to the opponent. When I play poorly and my opponent says the same I don't feel insulted; I already know it anyway.

Good choice, it could be busy like everything seems to be in Florida, try for daytime to avoid the leagues.

Sounds like quite an adventure. Plenty of pool in St. Pete, Brewlands Clearwater is probably closest with 20+ 7 & 9 ft. Diamonds, Crooked Cue in Largo is good but does allow smoking, Strokers in Palm Harbor a longer trek but great room too. You'll need a car or ride share to get to all as...

I'll second what Freddie said. I think there around 10 rooms in Pinellas County all with 9 footers. Then some more on the Tampa side of the bay.

Roland Garcia was playing Gorst and pocketed a pretty sick object ball jump to continue his inning. I'll try to find a link.

Enjoy the Cup and visit. I'll only add that Orlando traffic is not good for one's blood pressure, and it may be hot even in Nov-Dec. Hopefully some locals chime in regarding rooms within a reasonable drive; I don't get over there often enough to know.

Efren's physique before American food, and well, he was in his mid-30s then...

I'm an inch kinda guy, because...1.27ish.

Thanks for sharing how this works. I like the promotion/relegation concept and wish we could have leagues in the US like this too.

Just started watching this match. Hayden broke first and pushed to a jump, but a right handed jump shot. Januarta passed it back and Ernst made the jump. As Januata is a lefty, that is some impressive atrategy for a young player.

Trying to keep it relative but letting fly too...had a Jeff Olney cue which had almost no tone to the hit, cue looked great and the shafts were top grade, but I think it had a cheap handle. Have had a few other customs by good makers with a super pingy, metallic sound. I like some ping but...
