John Schmitt had a high run of 626 in 2019, and Jason beat his record with a run of 714 balls in 2022.

I'll take this case, if its still available. Thanks.

But you don’t mention who made it. Secret?

Here we are, 9 years later, and I’m seeing my Ned Morris cue on your old thread! I bought this Ebony cue with the ivory, malachite and silver inlays about 6 weeks ago. It’s still in immaculate condition and is my favorite among my 21 custom cues. I spoke to Ned about it and he has a very...

I have 20 playing cues, and they’re all way too expensive for me to be slamming balls on the break with. I use a very inexpensive 22oz McDermott Lucky with a Kamui hard tip, for breaking.

I use a dedicated break cue that I went cheap on. Just a 22 oz., $60 McDermott Lucky with a Kamui hard leather tip on it. I’ve been very pleased with it.

Unless you happen to be one who prefers a better hitting cue with an ivory joint and ivory ferrules.

Thanks so much for the fine work, Alton! These caps came out beautiful and really add the finishing touch to my Manzino cue. I was very fortunate to be able to get the best in the business build these caps for me!

Yeah, it goes like "Holy shit, you stupid mother fu*#*r! What were you thinking?"!

I use NIR brand chalk. it’s wonderful! Costs about $12 for 3 cubes but I only have to chalk up about every 5th to 7th shot. And much less chalk dust spreading around.

I'm 66 years old, and my skills are better now than when I was a young man. But my stamina is not. After 60 yo 90 minutes of play, by back hurts, my feet hurt, and the discomfort makes me start shooting poorly. I'm guessing the same goes for the aging professionals......

That just tells me that the dealer overpaid for this cue and he'd rather sit on it until someone who doesn't know any better overpays him for it.

I think pool has more has a lot more viewing experience than say chess or poker. And, we're seeing both of those now, on sports television!
