I bought WNT to watch this (and the other upcoming events) and I'm having trouble finding the videos

Absolute beauty! I wish Joss still had models like this

Depends how old you are talking. In pro pool, the carbon/wood ratio has more to do with region than age. Pretty much all the middle aged European players I see are using carbon, while in Asia there are even very young players using wood.

I think it's because they want their specialty cue to be known only by the Brand + Model (like a BK Rush), rather than a playing cue where people value good design aesthetics.

Break cues and jump cues tend to be uglier in general

Not a fan!

The quality on the ones I've seen in real life has been excellent, I actually think they look better than the stock images. I bought an ANW-1 and it has this beautiful rainbow coat that people actually compliment in real life. I played against a guy who won a Casino 1 and it was immaculate...

I bought one for Black Friday and it's excellent I just wish Meucci came out with some new designs, their catalog is stale

That's a very simple looking cue for 3k You could get 2 very nice Jacobies or Josses for that price

It's crazy how much they charge for their cues On Seybert's I see these very simple looking Predator cues released today, and they are charging $2700 for them.

I think it looks better than the SVBs and the Truewoods are quite boring for $1000 + cues. I think the Opt-Xs and ERA series look best.

Linen wraps easily look the coolest. Come to think of it, I don't remember seeing one out of all the pro pool I've been watching recently, I see just wrapless or leather wraps. Which makes sense, because Predator and Cuetec don't have any linen wrap options on their higher end cues.

I play there, I didn't realize the tables were over 60 years old!

Baldwin Billiards in New York seems to have those too. I used to wonder what it was for when I was younger, before I knew what straight pool was.

Do the 9 footers really only have 4.25 inch corner pockets? That makes me feel good because I actually shot decently on them
