I saw the match because I love this era. - You could see that Earl the pearl was very young here plus he's using a Meucci....Also you can notice that here is when TV started to open its eyes on pool and 9ball evident by the ads put in the middle of the table like this, it was funny.


Here's a link, but I want someone to tell me which CUE brand nick varner was using here. It looks like Schon but I am not sure.
 
Fun facts also in the video:

- Our beloved Jay Helfert appears in this video and does a trick shot!
- Buddy Hall is also in the video & looks very slim.
- Jim Rimpe is also in the video and appears too elegant.
- There are some magazine ads from the 80s which are funny to watch especially now with the internet times we live in.

Rempe was a very sharp looking dude when he was young. My John Grissim book has a shot of him playing, and you could tell the girls in the 70s would have dropped their panties at the mere sight of him.
 
Sorry I'm late to the party... I too was very curious about what cue he was using, because I'm a huge Schon fanboy, and it did look like a Schon. I watched very closely, and I disagree that it's a Joss. It seems to have the signature Schon nickel rings at the joint.

For starters your picture here sucks. ;) Nick in his prime used Joss and Falcon. No Schon in this match but a Joss as stated earlier.

This was done with no gimmicks, an ordinary rack and balls, no divots or marks on any of them. I had exactly one chance to get it right. They did not have time for me to set it up again if I failed. Just to get all the balls in place and balanced is a trick in itself!
