he gambled

I use three, one for playing, one for breaking and one for jumping. I will sometimes have an extra playing cue in my bag, usually if I want to test something but I'll never keep them both out and play with them both. Not a crime, just sound silly, if you need to switch cues or shafts for...

I don’t like gambling period. I think it’s the worst thing for pool. I gambled a few times, just to teach some idiots some life lessons, never took the money at the end of it… Thankfully, I have other ways to make money. I got to be the best that I could be, without gambling.

First, find a cue smith that will do it. Then get the shaft that he recommends, my guess is to get the radial as it will be easier to fill and drill and tap than messing with the metal insert of the uni-loc. we so many fine options for butts with radial pin, I would just switch cue.

Same response still applies

When gambling, if you lose, you can keep on playing until you lose all the money in your pocket or start to win. In tournaments, you lose twice and your out, can’t continue to play. If it’s a small local tournament than maybe the pressure of gambling is higher, depends on the effect on your life...

I doubt that there is an American that can win it on paper. Even SVB seems to lose his top game and l don’t consider Fedor as American either, but anything can happen with the luck of the draw and who signs up for the event. The US Open used to be a big deal, the second biggest and important...

I strongly disagree! The pressure of gambling is nothing like the pressure of tournaments. This is old school mentality and players used to get stronger back in the day. Still true to some places like the Philippines. If a pro player today gambles, it from pure ego reasons, or the scratch to...

In a gambling match, most likely the gambler will win. In a pro tournament, the athlete will win. As mentioned, Mosconi was probably the greatest non gambler. A lot of players claim that they don’t gamble, I doubt how true they are. I wonder if Filer gambles, he has the pure athletic mentality...

The cue in the movie did have diamonds inlays in the butt but not in the points

As I recall, 5 were made. Newman gave his copy for charity in Israel, I’m still waiting for it to pop up at some flea market… I posted about it with a news clip years ago here on the forum Edit: Here is what I posted almost 20 years ago.... (amazing that this cue is still a hot topic)

He used knowledge and skill. And he used them correctly 😝

Depends on traffic, it takes me an hour to an hour and a half to get to league and most tournaments. Nothing is happening in my city, I have to travel

The jump extension is brilliant, my giess it leaves a better solid construction for the break. I have a little monster j/b on the way, it was under $80 on Ali Express so I couldn’t resist… I’ve tried it once and it was surprisingly good, decided to give it a good try for that price, and use it...

I’ve been using both dedicated jump cues and jump-break cues for years. In my opinion, a good J-B will be as good as the old style, shorter 2pc. Jump cues. The benefits of the modern jump cues is the 3 pc construction that adds length. How come no one made a 4pc J-B cues?
