You beat me to it. I didn't understand what was funny either. Nick is one of the all time greats. And I might add, all disciplines. Bank pool, straight pool, one pocket. He played everything well.
I know there for awhile they wouldn't take a order with ebony in it. Don't know about now though. But if it was me I would go with ebony into ebony with bright blue veneers. Congrats on your Southwest!
Jay, How did you and Lotsapoppa come out? I'm assuming ya'll matched up playing one pocket. He passed away some years back. Probably around 2000 or so. Didn't know if you knew it or not.
Very difficult indeed! I've tried this version before and it took me hours before I was able to do it. This kid makes it look so easy. Sorta disheartening!
