Too bad - he had a chance to get back into that match but it is tough in your 70s to maintain focus very very consistently . You can look really good for a while then you just let up on a key shot - age is unforgiving - glad to see him giving it his all!

The internet has created a youth attention span so fleeting that perhaps a game of “ 3 Ball” with a shot clock may have a chance to find a mainstream viewing audience. To think that I remember watching straight pool on national TV on the #1 sports channel in America at the time - Wide World of...

Well what this really tells us is not how bad the other stuff on ESPN is as much as the degree of utter disregard there is in the general sports viewing audience for billiards on TV. Pool has morphed into such a closed community of viewers and interested parties. Too bad for us who really love...

Perhaps some people do not understand that the micarta option and the tip option plus the joint protector option will add another $100 to the retail price- so, yes this is a $550 retail price shaft right now from Richard with all the options. I HAD A 21 WEEK WAIT AND I WAS HOUNDING HIM AT THE...

Joss N 7 is the cue that Tom Cruise holds over his head in the famous movie scene that is reproduced in an iconic photo and poster. You can still buy that cue today - retails at about $750 - I bought one this Christmas for one of my sons who just installed a classic Brunswick Anniversary table...

I see a cue just like this on E bay- says that it was just refinished by Proficient- asking $10K. ????? now I see it at asking $8500- is that the same cue- is it for sale?

After 20+ years ,I have settled on Fed Ex for all cue shipments. Their tracking is far superior and they move items with less transfers than UPS. Forget the post office! Only thing is round tubes are surcharged so put them in a free USPS large priority mailing triangle- Fed Ex will take it...

I just received mine - the wait was 21 weeks for the shaft ! Long time!

I do one off market quotes on here all the time for free IF I can see very clearly what I am evaluating . A whole cache of cues like this - condition in photos is unclear, straightness is not defined, actual maker is very unclear by these photos on several of these cues - I see people “guessing”...

Guys are charging $150 hour for lessons - $125 hour for a detailed multi cue evaluation, research, and approx. present market value is not unreasonable by today’s standards- why should this be free when everyone else in every collectible category is charging now?

Professional appraisers charge several hundred an hour for their work. For me to give you an in-depth evaluation on all of these cues - the proper research , and adding my 25+ years of cue collecting experience - you are asking a lot - someone here may pony up for free - but it is a big ask. In...

When I was 35 I could handle that - not any more. --- 35 extra years can take their toll! :):)

It is one thing to have a lot of confidence in yourself. it is an entirely elite level in sports when a truly elite player can maintain that super high confidence level on every single execution. I think that Alex displays this rare ability. Think of times that you miss a shot that is one you...

I think that many players use the wrist snap draw stroke when the CB and OB are fairly close to each other and you just want to draw back a short distance. This can be a normal deviation from a shooter's longer straight through draw stroke when the CB and OB have greater distance . My snap back...

Yes - that is my observation- I struggle so much with my stroke that is just not smooth enough in the build up of speed- often I just get too fast in my forward motion- I wish that way back when, I could have received the type of early stroke training that these younger European top players...

I agree with you, my choice of words was incorrect, what I am trying to say is that the European players with their longer bridges appear to use that stroke style in order to achieve a very smooth and constant cue tip movement through the cue ball - the long back stroke and resultant forward...

Jim Odom Texas cue maker beginning in 1998. Jim took inspiration from Herman Rambow and Paul Kersenbrock. This cue has heavy Rambow influence. Full splice, appears to be Wenge or Palm wood into straight Maple nose. I believe this cue butt to be from 40s or 50s and turned down a bit in the...
