Congrats to Chris Melling
There seems to be nothing the man can’t do on a pool table.
Except make balls on the snap.
Chris still found a way to win.
The man can play.
I cant help you but your description is spot on.
And yes,Rich cue seems close. Maybe a Rich cue that had been modified?
It looks like Brazilian Rosewood...maybe?
Jordan “Welsh Wizard” Shepherd
Played amazing, very few mistakes.
I really enjoyed the format and watching Jordan play. Jordan's pattern play and speed were amazing.
His ability to nudge clusters open was another level. Not enough O's in smooth.
I just ordered a 60" sneaky light weight cue from them for a friend. They now have a flat finish. I tried that cue and it feels great. I like the new finish also.
Challengers were typically one piece Maple cues with stained/painted points. But I have seen a few real spliced Oak cues with the Challenger decals on them. I have one myself.
1st cue from left 1940 to 45ish. 2nd 1946 to around 51.
From 52 for the next 9 or 10 years would cover the 3rd label. And the fourth was from the early 60's until the green and white labels started.
Just info that I have collected from the web.
Thanks.
It is nice that these four cues all have original shafts, although I am not sure that the shaft for my earliest Hoppe is original to that cue(far left).
I will give it a go.
If he happy, I'm happy. If he ain't, he come on back on-- misery love companys, and, most time
Coco gGod companies
Cuebuddy>>> misses Coco too.
Giving up the break should be worth a ball.
I have a feeling you are not playing at full speed against him, so giving up balls might just make you play harder. It may not make a difference until you have settled on 10/5
