An unknown possible “Meucci” piloted joint Gambler was on eBay yesterday with a Canadian seller - price was 300 Canadian plus unknown tariff add-on - I see that it either sold or was removed from sale

800 point match over even 2 days can be a lot of pool if it stays reasonably close. This may be a mental stamina match as much as a 14.1 skill and knowledge match.

Not too many top pros here anymore. I think they feel naked now without a jump cue and a magic rack. For me, I enjoy nine ball with Mike’s rules - the safe and kicking game is a bit more enjoyable than a jump fest. You have to know the rails. Moritz is a very impressive player in all aspects of...

The worst os when they ask our experienced and educated experience on a cue- you give them a reasonable selling range; and then they throw it on e bay for thousands more--- it usually ends up selling in the range we gave them, and they end up paying e bay 14% on top. Well they could have just...

I wish you the best !

Very nice table and a very enjoyable life!

It’s funny, I could not stop looking at this cue when I first saw the for sale post on it. I slept on it - and after a brief question or two I just knew that I wanted it- the Adam case with it cleaned up to like new condition and is a prize for an Adam collector as it is a 70s Adam case...

19.4 ounce. 12.7 MM. slight oversized cue butt Nice balance. Clean shaft. Original tip 3/8 10 pin All original and super clean

I was not talking about the cloth as much as the cushions on tables like Diamond and Rasson as examples- nobody can tell me that the older GC cushions were as fast as the two I just mentioned - these tables are much faster off the rail than the older tournament GCs

SVB seems to use that punch stroke with a desired speed quite often over using a lot of spin stroking

I recently purchased a vintage Viking Cue here on our For Sale section. The cue struck me for several reasons: I never owned a Viking Cue among 150+ cues over the years, it was a late 80s/ early 90s very nice looking six pointer, the cue looked to be in terrific original condition at a good...

I don’t think that you are missing anything either. Buddy was one of the “prior generation” of players who had the stroke fundamentals that would have translated very effortlessly into this modern pool playing equipment world. I think all the past greats could play great today. The real...

Yea I don’t quite understand the bunting reference either. Most of the great players today exhibit a pool stroke that looks extremely smooth and well timed with a longer draw back and very very complete and even speed all the way through the cue ball with tip going to the cloth. Tight pockets...

The stroke fundamentals that we see in top pros today seem to have mostly originated in European youth pool schools . They reflect an answer to faster cloth and cushions, tighter pockets, and changes to cues themselves. Until the 1980s straight pool still dominated the U.S. pool tournament...

Great exposure for this event to finally get back on ESPN. Disappointing, to say the least, that they would cut off a live event after people watched through 3 hours of commercials after every rack! Somebody at ESPN and the pool world screwed up by thinking that you could run so many...

I own and have owned many brands of cases from low to high in price range. Regarding the JB upright case - yes very well constructed, yes great cue protection , but, for me, with higher end cues- a 3x5 , fully loaded , the fit is too tight- I can’t get the cues in and out without touching each...

The older Excalibur cues from the 90s had designs like these plain Jane’s and I believe that Viking made many of them if not all. Several , though, came with those older thick heavy brass joints. The shafts on the old Excaliburs were often very good quality wood

I find this interesting as I recently bought a Canadian maple shaft with an advertised Tiger Everest medium tip. The hit from that shaft was way too hard for my liking - I had a soft Ultraskin put on it and for me the shaft is now very playable. The Everest tip was new - but it was not a...

Not a Mike Miller cue - he was much later as a maker under the Morgan name. Nameplates like that - often ivory - go way back from early 1900s forward to 40s maybe some in the 50s.

Yea the N line Viking that I just bought on this site has that exact pill bumper. N series for Viking was 89-92 with “Viking” inside an oval on the buttcap - after 1992 they added the word USA . Makes sense that this cue was a derivative of the Viking M line prior and being made for Murrey
