I think that's what I will consider doing. Then I know it will be done right. Is there a reputable forum recommendation for cue mechanics?

It was another kid that filmed it and posted it online. They did need a "respect others property" lesson, which one of them got and bought me a cheap amazon cue to make things better, which I appreciated. Also, on subsequent visits, the cues and pool balls were all locked up before their...

I updated the post above, it was all kids in the basement including one that filmed and posted online. I will take responsibility for not assuring an adult was present downstairs and will do that going forward. I just never had anything like this happen before, so it didn't occur to me. One...

Had family over for a gathering and later that night one of the kids posted a video to social media showing them "lightsaber dueling" with pool cues at our house. I discovered 4 previously mint cues with dings in them from the ordeal. Thankfully I don't leave our best custom cues out, so those...

Thank you all for the suggestions, going to grab some now.

Can you recommend some new, readily-available, no-nonsense cues in the $100-250 range? Prefer sneaky petes and plain janes where the money is going into the build quality and a good shaft/tip instead of decorative inlays and such. I need to get a pair of cues for visiting family to use who...

The color of money was clearly set up for an immediate sequel, with so many things incomplete at the end and discussions of upcoming tournaments and Eddie being back in the game. But that movie was never made. Top Gun and TCOM were both released in '86. Top Gun absolutely exploded and...

Yep. Character develops over time. Vincent was young and stupid, much like Eddie was when he was younger. Vincent would have now had decades of experience and his return with a Balabushka under his arm would be an epic redemption in the final chapter of this trilogy.

The Color of Money: The Next Break Starring Tom Cruise, Forrest Whitaker, Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling and Jesus Quintana

Let's find out.... Here's the question asked and output from ChatGPT: Me: Write a summary of a good sequel to The Color Of Money movie from 1986, but set in the modern day. ChatGPT: "The Color of Money: The Next Break" would be an intriguing sequel to the 1986 classic, set in the modern day...

Don't forget to consider the era The Color of Money was made in. At that point in the 80's everything was fake, characters were thin, love songs were cringe. Think of the hairstyles and dayglow geometric shapes on clothing at the time. Once you get past that, it can gain a bit of charm...

We are due for another pool movie that will either trigger another rise in pool popularity, or be created in response to one of the rises in pool interest, which we seem to be in right now. The current resurgence in pool has to be due to youtube and social media, maybe a boost from smartphone...

Great info! Though it does look like you could cut out a hole in the top of the light to access the switches pretty easily. It's just a sheet of masonite on the top of the fixture.

I went into Griffs in Vegas and played under Littman lights which I assume were 5000-6000k. At first I didn't know if I'd be able to stay there playing because I get headaches from that kind of lighting, but I got used to it after a while. Mostly. I'd want something dimmable and color temp...

I found this video of Earl commenting on this match between Van Boening and Corey Deuel and at 8:20 he says to always put a little bit of spin on the cue ball. (I'm having a tough time linking this video to start right at 8:20 but you can move the video to that time to hear it)
