My first pool experience was hearing "Rack, Frank!" up and down the line of 8-ft Brunswicks. We were just kids of 16, but we quickly learned if you were disrespectful in speaking "Rack, Frank!" you might go to the end of the line - twice. Frank's dad owned the place, but Frank was a whiz at...

Thank you for your inquiry. I just sold the D4 and was headed to take it down. I'll be posting these when I get time to evaluate their prices: D6 [butt excellent, shaft fair] M33B Tempe [butt excellent, shaft good], and M33A Classic [butt and shaft both excellant.] Also: either a M14D...

The two worst cues I ever owned were a basic Tad with a stainless joint and a Heubler with an Implex joint. Neither cue had balance I was comfortable with - the weight was all in my back hand, which did not allow for much finesse - like playing with a hunk of rebar in one hand and a...

Bump.

Price reduced to $200

Nice McDermott D4 cue for sale, ready for another 40 years.

McDermott D4 cue. Price reduced to $200 on April 3, 2024. Owned since new about 1984-85. Minor use, very clean. Three small dings in the clear coat, see photos. Forearm: see photos; lightly figured maple; forearm has two small impacts that removed the clear coat. Point Wood: see photo; no...

Just a couple of 70s anecdotes: The guy who operated the BCA league in the 70s had a Meucci when they were just showing up. He was proud of its flexible shaft. It was more than whippy: he would press the end on a table and cause the shaft to bend to an incredible degree, far beyond what would...

So either the breaking player broke and ran out, or the incoming player ran out in their first inning - in every game? That's great pool.

Congrats to Shane for a fine victory, and congrats to the runner-up Sanjin Pehlivanovic, too, for battling through to the final. It appears Shane plans to turn that last 8-ball into his own personal trophy. I don't blame any tournament for awarding medals instead of trophys, especially one with...

Did Ouschan actually concede with three balls left to pocket? I know a easy three-ball run out is almost always a given for the pros, but still, lightning or nerves can strike at any time. It's not disrespectful to make an opponent complete the game. I could understand a one-ball-easy-shot...

However that advertising is applied, it's ugly. Maybe in the future the entire table will be covered with advertising. I saw a Youtube video where the TV table had a 10" multi-color logo right at center table. But advertising means money, and pro pool needs much more money to ever support more...

I would pass just because of the multiple listings at wildly different prices. But even with a single listing I would still pass due to the cue's condition. The cue is well used but not well cared for. The wrap is filthy, and the shaft and ferrule show a lot of chalk residue and discoloration...
