West Coast Cue Show Another beautiful cue Robert! The cue show is going to be awesome. Thanks for the extra support!

Wow.. no vBookie for the US Open??? How about TAR 22? I need my vFix!

Blue Book So these are the hardback books? Nice collectors pieces for sure.

Jensen My all time favorite Jensen cue. Nice to see it's in good shape still. Wish I had some extra $$ around. Mike has been making great cues for a long long time.

Alex Alex is drunk and making the awards slightly awkward. He's already been told to get out of the way. Oh Alex... we love you but get to AA buddy.

From Russia with love Nice departure for Dmitry. His work is top notch and his cues play lights out!

woop No problemo. Great match. Sure looks like a lot of fun there. They're still talking it up, pats on the back, and talking about supporting pool together. Congrats Daz! You absolutely earned it.

*Cracks the whip* Back to work! :smile: Wait till you see what I have in the works. :D:D

US Open Appleton take 2 breaks to chalk up.. makes the 8. And then the 9!! Final Score. Appleton -13 Putnam -6

Update Appleton on the hill and takes a break. Awesome! Appleton breaks and makes a ball. The 2/8 are tied up but he has a good angle to break them up right now with a shot on the 1ball. He hits it perfectly and gets great shape on the 2ball. All clear from here.. this could be it folks...

update Putnam breaks and loses the cue ball to scratch AGAIN. Wide open rack. The only problem at all is the 8 ball is against a rail. Probably not a major problem for the current US Open champ though. Appleton is calm and looks like a world beater. Setting up to get shape on the tricky 8...

Getting close Appleton breaks and makes 3 balls.. Darren comes up with a LONG shot on the 3 ball. Tough shot. He may play safe but if he goes for it he can get out. Let's see how aggressive he feels. Nope.. he plays safe and moves the 3 back up table. But a little short giving Shawn a shot...

next rack Putnam's break... Wing ball goes in... both the cue and the 1 ball come back up table. But the 1 gets tied up on the 8ball. No clear shot. Everything else is wide open. Putnam plays safe putting the 1 ball on the other side of the table. Appleton replies with a calm safety of his...

Rack Darren to break... Odd break but he does make a ball. No shot though. Darren taking some time on this one. Starting to feel some pressure. Darren opts to play safe and locks up the cue on the 7ball. Shawn is in trouble. Shawn takes the intentional safe to tie up the 3 and 6 ball...

race Yes.. race to 13 but winner must win by 2. With a 2 game cap. So, 14-14 is still hill hill. Weird, I know. Putnam plays a wicked safety and puts the hammer down on Darren. Darren goes with the full length kick, hits it, and makes another ball! But no shot on the OB. He plays a...

Next Putnam breaks... looks like it will be a dry break... But the last ball rolling drops in giving him another breath of life in this game. Tricky layout from here. Putnam plays a safety and locks up Darren. But Darren hasn't missed a kick yet. Darren kicks it but leaves an open shot for...

Next Darren scratches on the break and gives Putnam a turn at the table. Everything is in the open but there's an aweful lot of pressure on Putnam. He'll have to stay focused to keep in line here. Putnam shoots a tricky soft shot with inside english and hits it perfectly. He's definitely...

Total control Darren just driving in the sword deeper. Darren comes with the full length bank on the 9 and hits it perfectly! Appleton -9 Putnam -3

Next Darren breaks and makes two balls. He has a back cut on the 2 ball but it's makeable. Could be a 7/9 combo too. This may be a quick rack. Darren cuts the 2 in cleanly and gets perfect shape on the 3 ball. Putnam kicking himself for losing the lag! Darren is just making it all look easy...

update Ok.. back to the action.. Darren breaks and makes his usual 3 balls. But he does have a shot. There's a little congestion with the 5/6 but not horribly bad. Darren is in total cue ball control. He eliminates the 5/6 issue easily. Connect the dots from here... Appleton -8 Putnam -3
