Cue Sticks: What's in Pro Players' Cases?

[Tiger91]

I'm a bit of an equipment junkie, so I'm usually watching tournament videos and wondering who makes the sticks the pros use.

Anybody have info to share? What does Efren play with? Feijen? Varner? Souquet?

I wonder if there are trends, like "in the 90's, all the Tour guys played with piloted joints, but now it's all flat-faced", or vice versa, or anything like that.

Best,
Brian

Personally, I wish American magazines were more like the Japanese ones where they interview the player and get photos of all their gear. I'd love to see good close up photos of some of the cues on the tour.

This has changed a little since it was last updated but it gives you an idea.

Billiards Digest magazine always has a section of what the pros use...there is also a small section on TAR here: http://www.theactionreport.com/Cues_of_The_Pros.html

Inside Pool used to do a "What's in the case?" piece, but I have not seen it for months now. That was definitely my favorite part of the magazine. Golf Digest always does a "What's in the bag?" feature that is pretty cool. I wish Inside Pool would bring it back.
