Can you provide better pics?

I have called around a bit as well and decided on a gaboon ebony Merry Widow cue and a matching jump / break cue from Gulyassy.

Can't go wrong with any of those choices but I do have a preference in shafts with Joss's HP Kielwood. I think it is the best shaft in the industry. It has a phenolic insert in the threads and has a very nice tone when hit solid.

The commentary is awful. They both can't wait to say the next word. I generally appreciate the commentary from Grady and Billy but this is not one of those times.

I hadn't made that obvious parallel. I think the only way out of this is to up the ante. The lead has to lose an arm, eye or a leg and stage a monumental comeback.

Kingpin script minus the the rubber hand. Maybe one of them should lose a hand hustling? Many plot turns to take afterwards.

Very nicely researched and written article. The height section could have used a reference to mechanical doping. I would be curious to know the improvement in Fargo rating that Earl witnessed with his platform shoes. /s :)

Trends seem to swing. I suspect going forward, high quality carbon fiber will be cheaper to produce than high quality wood shafts. Once its all settled, I personally believe a high quality wood shaft optimizes the best of all inputs and would become a premium option over a high quality, low...

This sounds pretty ridiculous. In no way can that be considered a reasonable amount.

I purchased a few of these cues and I really can't say enough good things about them. A few others have written positive reviews of cues purchased from Anton and my experience is the same. #5 has become my main player but I love having the others in the room and rotating through them. I'd highly...

I wish I practiced my cue stroke as much as my baseball swing growing up. I had plenty of hitting (baseball) coaches and some were better than others but they are absolutely required to hit at even a basic competitive level.

I've never had to prove that I purchased a donut.

I think the Rhino is hard to beat for $199. I do think its worth the extra money to upgrade to the Cuetec at $399. Above that, I think paying more is only justified when looking to optimize in an area. The Revo is worth the premium if a person wants the lowest deflection, the Ignite might be...

Is the Whyte carbon shaft premium because it’s expensive?

Mostly, my intent was to start a discussion. I find this forum entertaining and I like to engage. I think it’s a unique opportunity for Viking to make a resurgence (or initial surge) but it doesn’t look like they are setting themselves up properly to take advantage.

Yeah, I haven't got a good look at his setup but I'd like to see them move forward with something along those lines. Maybe add a signature emblem somewhere subtly. Interesting take on the Propel. I accidentally left that out. People seem to love that jumper. Viking should get to work.

With the recent events I'm ready to jump on the Gorst bandwagon. I remember reading a thread a while back speculating on his change in sponsorship and with him ultimately choosing Viking. In a clip he mentioned plans on launching a signature line with Viking. I used to bike around Madison, WI...

Who is flying back with a suitcase full of euro's or greenbacks? Is this like Happy Gilmore where they can ask for an extra big check to compensate for the differential after taxes, social security, 401k deductions?

I think almost all replies are offering comments about how its unlikely and the challenges in executing. No one replying here is making a case for the unsubstantiated rumor.

Higher prize money and additional endorsement opportunities fixes the chop problem. Early golf and professional cycling grew out of that with increasing prize money and I think billiards seems to be trending that direction. Collusion or influence from sports bookies is an issue that every...
