    DCC 2020 1p updates.

    Are those the full payouts? If that is, its a big change from the past years where you were in the money in round 5. *edit its not the full payouts. DCC facebook shows that 5th round was in the money.*

    Today's pro level versus the pros of 1986

    The knowledge and effort put into breaking seems to be on a higher level nowadays than in the 1980's. Or is it? How do the stats from that accustats Busch tournament in 1986 match up to today?

    Scruggs Titlist

    This is an actual titlist conversion. AZ limits pictures for upload the at 200k in size, and higher res pics are above that significantly. I could get the images hosted elsewhere but as of now its probably irrelevant because the cue has a pending offer and is likely sold.

    Scruggs Titlist

    SOLD SOLD SOLD My former backup cue. Now its no longer a backup since I switched to low deflection so I am going to let it go. This cue hits really well but its not a pristine closet queen, this cue was bought from a great player in miami in the early 2000s and I took it to events many times...

    Bank pool... Systems or Rote?

    that is so crazy! I knew he never owned a cue and just used whatever someone would lend him every time he played. Makes me wonder how he ever explained all the nights in the pool room to his family.

    Bank pool... Systems or Rote?

    I recommend banking with the beard to get an understanding of what is "happening under the hood" of bank shots. There is alot of nuances to bank that have to do with using draw, follow, english, speed and throw and freddy goes over the different variables nicely. After that though, you have to...

    Have you had a pool cue stolen?

    I had my meucci sneaky pete stolen out of a locker at the student union in Cal Berkeley in the late 80s. It was in a fellini 1x2 which I miss more than the meucci. It had just the right patina to the leather. In 2014 I was in Vegas with my APA 9ball team. We had just finished getting beat but...
