Why do you think that?

First off, I am so sorry for your loss. Secondly, welcome to the site. Thirdly, I know that cue well. McDermott is my cue sponsor. Last time I saw you can't touch one of those cues for less than $1200-$1400.

Waxing a cue ball makes it perform like a new cue ball and will slide like one. That's why some pool rooms will use car wax to polish the balls that are in high humidity places.

This is so sad. So young. He was a great player to watch. The pool world lost another great person. RIP and prayers for his family.

This is so sad and a big loss to the pool community. I bought my first nice case from him at Derby City. Derby City won't be the same without him. I will miss seeing him next month in Vegas for the APA. RIP Joe.

Most of the time when I see people use the jump cue, they do not give up ball in hand. A lot of times the jumping player leaves an open shot if the jump isn't a hanger, but I rarely see ball in hand from a jump that didn't work.

:D thanks for that. Hope you are doing well my friend.

May be the same reason why people shoot with the same brand of clubs a certain golf pro uses. People may even invest enough money into the exact putter, or set of irons, or driver as a pro they watch.

Its funny you talk about the practicing masses on tables getting ready to get new cloth. I got booked for a show in July because of that. It is the weekend before a Matchroom qualifier in Virginia at OnCue. The are getting new cloth like on a Monday and my show is the Saturday before. So...

You are correct. In artistic pool tournaments we get 3 attempts. All the shots have a point value (degree of difficultly) going from a 6 point shot to a 10 point shot. You receive full points if the shot is made on the first attempt. If you make it on the second attempt, you get full points...

thanks for posting that. I have seen that. If I am not mistaken, that is Jordan Moreira from France shooting that shot. Or someone else shooting the shot I saw Jordan make. Obviously not impossible. Just a touchy shot.

Can someone point me to this post about the seemingly impossible masse shot?

I don't think that is for us to know.

It depends on how you market yourself, which she apparently does well. The are more ways to make money now then just tournament winnings. But it will be a good thing for her to have something to fall back on.

Congrats. That sounds like an amazing experience. Stop by the McDermott booth and say hi. :)
