I just got my new custom cue case made by Jim Murnak
(see http://jimmurnakcuecases.com)
and not only is it awesome looking and extremely well made,
(see photos at Diary of a Poolshooter)
it is also MAGICAL! At least the one he made for me is magical.
I got the case yesterday, and I was really excited to check it out,
so I transferred all the stuff from my old case (Silver Fox).
This morning I got up and figured I'd take another try at
a drill that has bugged me for a long time.
I call it The Sorto String, named after the deviant (my instructor Tony Sorto)
who challenged me with it.
I've been close, but never did it, and I've tried probably north of 100 times.
So this morning, I take my same old cue out of my brand new Jim Murnak case,
warm up with a couple of half-hearted tries at the Sorto String,
and then decide to turn on my camcorder and record the next 10 attempts.
I guess I felt something good might happen.
Sure enough, on the 5th try, I finally beat the devil.
It must have been the case! Had to be. Only makes sense.
(I wish I had that case last weekend, for the US Amateur Championships,
California preliminaries.)
Thanks Jim!
