The hex handle one in the bottom is the "ambra" model. Used to be somewhat common around Spain a few years ago. Its cost new here was around 600-800€, I believe. Longoni cues are well regarded here, they sponsor Nils Feijen and used to sponsor (very long ago) Mika Immonen. They are OK...

I agree, it does seem like a strange occurrence.

As far as I know, there is a loop going on. I've been watching it the last few days from Spain. :wink:

Looks very interesting. Will the speed break and controlled break shafts be available separately? I really like the speed break since I have been looking for a "classic" version of the break shaft for a while. :) When will they be available from retailers (seyberts, etc.)?

I think she is hard working and takes her game seriously. That is what matters to me, regardless of her facebook marketing techniques, posed pictures or whatever. I won't even get started with rankings and pro considerations because is mostly meaningless, to be honest. More people playing pool...

Happened to me too. This has to be the earliest stream ever. I am not complaining since it was mostly my wrong doing, and timing gets complicated since I'm in Spain with the time difference and all. They could repeat the stream for us in different parts of the world like TAR used to do, though...

Incardona and Diliberto are my favorite commentators. They have tremendous knowledge and share a special chemistry. I am not sure if they are politically correct every time, but I don't really care. I have also seen some videos of DD classes on straight pool and he seems to be a really good...

For me, the correct answer is both. Besides, feel is just subconscious calculation improved by experience. Practice is unavoidable even if you could calculate perfectly (with a computer for example), since execution precision greatly affects results.

Wrapless is my preference. More feedback, more wood to look at. I can play with linen or leather, but I really dislike the look of black with white specks linen.

Thanks for all the time, effort and money you both put into TAR. I have had a lot of fun watching the matches and the podcasts through the years. I wish you the best of lucks in your future endeavors.

In my case I usually stand the case on the floor and open the zipper a little bit, then take the cues out like with a normal hard case. They are harder to put in this way than with a normal case, though... But it is not a big issue. Standing it on the floor does make the bottom dirty quickly...

Now I see. Yes, KJ is top notch. He has done work for me before ;)

Is the BK3 available as a jump break or did you get it customized? I thought it was just a break cue.

I guess you would have to check with someone qualified, i.e. customs for the countries involved, but I've never heard of any problems with ebony. The illegal materials for export/import are usually ivory and some kinds of rosewood (endangered). I bought an ebony cue from the USA and had no...

Yep. Fiery orange with lots of grain.

I don't believe there has been any official statement since the hiatus.

Much better with contacts than with glasses for me. Especially now that smoking inside is banned in Spain. I use dailies. If your prescription is high enough, you might have some trouble adjusting if you go back to playing with glasses since the size of things might change: I see slightly...

Computers are wonderful tools used by horrible people.

I've seen Oliver play a couple times here in Spain. He is amazingly powerful, intense and extremely focused. Quite a player. I won't comment on the good looks, though :wink:

So true. He is THE REFERENCE in straight pool right now. Very solid player!
