There are many Efren Reyes One Pocket matches on youtube, and in my opinion they demonstrate Efren's unique ability to play amazing defense until his opponent allows the immediate shift to offense (seems Efren's offense has slipped a bit with his increasing age).

I would like to sell or trade one of my McDermott D-6 pool cues. Either one is $360 via PayPal - shipping to the lower 48 USA, insurance, and fees on me. Or I will consider trade for a McDermott B, C, or D Series cue. Each cue has minor dings on the butt caps (see photo #10 - 9th in order) and...

I am in agrrement. When I watched it some time ago I thought JJ fouled by picking up the ball and respotting it. He should have advised that the ref do that, which would have allowed the ref bott the decision to respot and the action of respotting.

I have never had stains on my cloth. I do, however, get chalk, lint, and sometimes cat hair. I have a handheld vacuum I occasionally use, but the best by far for chalk, lint, cat hair, etc. in my opinion is a "Scotch-Brite Pet Extra Sticky Large Surface Roller".

SVB has said that he does't hear any sound relating to his cue striking the cue ball (the energy transfer has the same implications though). I know many golfers that are put off by the sound of some hollow body irons - the main reason that Ping quickly replaced their G700 irons with G710. I...

One of the rarest occurrences is a used Exceed listed for resale. If I ever see one I am buying it!

My Gold Crown I that I bought a few years ago came with quite a few cues - a Willie Hoppe, some McDermott C-series, an RC Custom, and some Brunswick Master Stroke cues; but my favorites were the nice straight Dufferin one-piece cues like the house cues I played with as a teenager. I have made 5...

I gauged the condition of the cues (4 1950’s vintage Brunswick Tru Balance cues and 1 1960’s Dufferin Red Leaf) after 50 days in timeout. All 5 cues had improved. The straightest Tru Balance cue improved from 1.8mm of roll to perfectly straight and was returned to the wall rack. 3 cues that...

Using my inductive method brain (which I usually refrain from doing) I think that the resonant frequency ranges of various hardwoods relates directly to those hardwoods' hardness ratings (see the Janka hardwood hardness chart attached) and that the feel of the hit relates directly to the...

I have A Gold Crown 1 with drop pockets, which my old back and knees thank me for choosing.

Unreal talent!

Not sure this will add much in the way of illucidation, but here is what I know of this cue: It was purchased from an Adam sales rep. He will remain nameless until I get his permission to name him publicly. He was a rep for Adam from 1973-2011. In 2011 P. Vorillas sold the rights to Adam USA...

So an Adam-Japan made 2000-2011?
