And then seen again in Atlantic City using a D-20 with a white and black spec irish linen wrap.

Next we run into Grady Seasons played by Keith McCready. He’s first seen using a grey stained D-17.

Just for fun I thought i’d comb through the movie and see what McDermotts I could find. Everyone knows about the Joss cues, but most people don’t know that McDermott donated a bunch of cues for the movie as well. All of them are from the D series produced in 1984. Many models came in a variety...

We all know Alex prefers wood over carbon. I get most of the newer generation is using carbon shafts, but it feels inauthentic. The price tag and non-answer as to what makes it so special makes it worse. Alex is one of the few pros who’s pretty particular about what they like and can articulate...

Kudos to you for reading the entire thread. I skimmed the first page of incoherent ramblings and couldn’t believe when I scrolled down the thread had 38 pages 🤣

I miss Powder Blue Simonis that was used throughout the late 90’s and 2000’s. To me it’s the perfect middle ground between the tournament blue thats almost neon it’s so harsh, and the bland shark grey. I get Simonis needs to stay fresh with new colours just like Aramith does with their black...

Overall I think JB cases are the best. John’s always been improving his cases over the years to make them as protective and durable as possible. There are no short cuts and they’re built to last a lifetime. I know most people aren’t rough with their cases, but it’s nice to know your money is...

I’ve always preferred classic four-pointer players cue with no inlays. So they’ve never garnered much attention. My current cue is a custom Titlist conversion with a brass joint collar, rambow butt cap, and no bumper. So to 99% of people it just looks like a boring old cue 😋

I hear you. Not many, including myself, are willing to sacrifice years and finances just to go backwards. I understand open handicapped events aren’t perfect, but i think it’s a lot better than knee capping the 600+. My game improved competing with everyone. It exposed my weaknesses. I don’t...

I doubt Fargo would reset my rating because I emailed and pinky swore i’m going to switch hands from now on lol Not to mention the giant pain in the ass it would be for tournament directors. John Morra switched hands -nobody was letting him play in a <600 tournament. The other option would be...

I fall into this category. My desire to practice is completely dependent on my ability to compete. Unfortunately in my area i’m lucky if a tournament comes around once every 2-3 months I can play in. It’s just not enough to light a fire in me to go practice at my pool hall multiple times a week...

Ironically for Shane, being able to turn off his hearing aid appears to be pretty ineffective for the Mosconi Cup 😜

Dr.Dave on break cue weight: “Now, for a break cue, the optimal weight for maximum cue ball (CB) speed will depend on your arm anatomy (the size and weights of the different parts of your arm), muscle physiology (e.g., fast-twitch vs. slow-twitch muscle fiber dominance), technique, and timing...

I vaguely remember Dr. Dave saying that there’s diminishing returns the lighter or heavier you go. Staying within 18-21oz is ideal. A lot of it comes down to your genetics and if you have fast twitch or slow twitch muscle fibres. I can smash the rack with any cue, but I recently purchased a...

Player: Ed Robinson Custom titlist conversion. Break cue: Jacoby Heavy Hitter

For the archives:

Is there proof of this? SVB can crack em, but I don’t think he’s getting near 30mph…

LOL

I can’t help but be extremely skeptical of Sigel. He reeks of used car salesman - and getting back with Don Mackey and the Pro Billiards Tour YouTube channel says A LOT about his business ethics.

Deuel and minors is one too apparently.
