Very, very nice case. A stunner both from inside and outside. These colors are hard to improve upon. Great protection! Flawless! Will Prout

Thanks to everyone who has asked how I am doing. I am now finally on the mend, after an interesting 3 weeks. It started with a serious, large baseball-sized melanoma cancer found on my left facial cheek in late September that required 100 stitches and some serious reconstruction work. Three...

This is a nice, comprehensive, reasoned analysis. Thanks for taking the time to put it together, it could well be helpful to others along the way. Will Prout

For what it’s worth, we both agree that the Gold Crown is a superior table, but does cost more than the C, and is going up lately in price. My first post on this thread was simply to acknowledge the superiority of the Gold Crown, not to tear down or diminish the C table or the OP’s thoughts in...

Nice try. I will assume you know what you are talking about, because you have worked on a lot of tables. Although I must admit, I am assuming, because I have not played on any table you’ve touched. You are a bit brazen to assume you know why I made the comment I did. In fact, you are totally...

This says it all. I bought my Gold Crown 1 in 1972, still have it. Will Prout

Sorry to see this news. A good contributor to our genre. RIP Monk. Will Prout

Shocking, tragic news. A wonderful gentleman. May he rest in gentle peace forever. Will Prout

CJ, Good story. Friendly, entertaining. Thanks. Will Prout

That cue would be hard to top. Anywhere. A genuine stunner. You almost have to give up a ball in weight when you play, because the cue alone will throw your opponent off stride! Again, amazing! Will Prout

The rectangular MOP inlay is exceedingly rare. I have an original Gus with all similar inlays, spoke with Barry about the rectangular inlay years ago. Your cue with the special bicentennial veneers is a genuine stunner. Thanks for sharing. Will Prout

He is eligible for release in July, 2022. Will Prout

Much more than $15k…could be double the $15k…. WP

Very, very nice looking cue! Unique, rare, well put together and preserved. WP

Shane was playing in a 9-ball tournament at Shooters Olathe 13-14 years ago. During an early match, he missed a thin cut where the ball is off the rail 1-2 inches not far from the side pocket and the cue ball is near the other side rail, a shot he had to shoot with a bit of speed. He missed...

John, Thanks for an excellent point. Dave can amaze with his deep knowledge and awareness of many different diamond and other systems. And he loves to engage in discussions about them. He will grab a cue, a couple balls and start talking. He is brilliant, and explains his concepts easily and...

Hu, You make a very good point about how Efren has always loved chess, and the obvious transferable skills to pool. I don’t know if Dave plays chess, I will ask him next time I see him. I suspect that if he does play, he would be very good. Chess grandmasters often speak of pattern...

One time Efren was at Shooters Olathe for a big tournament. Loads of top players entered. Just under 200 players in the 9-ball event, less entered in the 1-pocket. With such a large entry in 9-ball there was quite a wait between matches, particularly on the winners’ side. Several players...

Good comments. And he still can bring an A-game, occasionally beating guys like Bergman, Woodward, Compton, Joey Gray and others In Shooters Olathe tournaments. Not always, but he remains deadly. Supremely pleasant, a genuine contributor to our genre. Will Prout
