    Older Merry Widow Cue Identification – Pointed 5/16×14 Piloted Joint

    Same cue with brass collar? Custom option. I think brass collars were seen on a decent range of years from the 70’s to 80’s. Forward weight plus the unique look. Chopdoc already showed the catalog photo of this cue.

    Older Merry Widow Cue Identification – Pointed 5/16×14 Piloted Joint

    Adam ~1974. I believe this vintage was mostly built in the Miki shop, but those years confuse me. Edit: strike that. My notes say most likely Saitama.

    10 Ball Rules History

    10 ball break was a win. The challenge was that if the 10 ball moved out of the rack at all, it would always be rocketing towards the corner pocket. It wasn’t until the template that people realize that a perfect rack should have the 10-ball barely move. I

    List of left-handed pro players?

    karen corr had an American cue built for her with a screw-in extension when she moved to the US. I want to say that was 1998-2000. I had a cue with a separate screw-on extension by Sheldon shortly afterwards. In snooker, they call the screw-on extension a “Mini Butt.” So, the whole concept...

    Justin Bergman vs Tom Cousins

    As an industry, one of our largest challenges has been trying to settle on a consistent set of rules. That is difficult enough when the game has several large amateur leagues that maintain their own established rule sets, while the world-standardized rules continue to evolve and often look...

    Justin Bergman vs Tom Cousins

    W what rules? Cuz if it’s the lame-ass Ultimate Pool Rules, Iceberg will lose close on a technicality of the rules. Because they’re dumb. If International Rules means accepted WPA rules, which I don’t think that’s what they’re saying, then Bergman is a favorite in my opinion. But I think...

    10 Ball Rules History

    For added information, they had 10-ball professional events in the late 1980’s. Some newer players think that it was recently invented. But that’s just not true. 10 ball was often a gambling game, but it certainly was in the tournament scene as well, just not as much as nine ball or even...

    Jasmin Ouschan figuring out her dad's old full deflection Meucci

    I recently picked up a Meucci JR3 from the mid 80s so right around the same age. It doesn’t have a lot of deflection but doesn’t have ultra low either. It’s 13mm with 1 1/8” ferrule. This is pre-dot. I can’t put it down. It just reminds me of that sweet Meucci hit with which I grew up. Fits me...

    At what would you question “non obvious” call pocketing?

    By any "Call Shot" ruleset (not call all the detail bar rules, but rather... organized rules for professionals and amateurs like the WPA, BCAPL, and VNEA), then it was well within your right to clarify which ball they were playing since the 15-ball was in play. It was also within your right to...

    At what would you question “non obvious” call pocketing?

    You’re going to confuse him, and he’s going to think he’s justified in questioning if someone should call a carom or combo. Which you know of course you never have to call in any rule set aside from bar rules.
