A ton of players have been calling me to confirm that they will be heading to this weekends ( June 7-8) Viking Tour event in Monroe, NC (near Charlotte) at Burrkats Billiards (Flyer Here: http://vikingcue.com/pages/9ball/flyers/BurrkatsJune08.pdf ).

The Pro's will be in Charlotte, NC for the www.GenerationPool.com 9-Ball Championships and the BCA Expo but many of them will be coming 1 day early to play in the Viking Tour Pro Warm-Up event.

The event is a $1,500 added OPEN 9-ball tourney which starts on Saturday, June 7th at 1pm with $1,000 GUARANTEED to 1st place and a HUGE PLAYER AUCTION.

On Sunday the finals will be played along with having a $500 Added AMATEUR 9-ball tournament at 1pm.

Why, R U the guy that's been stealing them ?

I'm just joking...........



I'll look around for some but I am pretty sure I don't have any extras. You are just gonna have to buy a new set... I do have them..


OR do you mean extra CB's because Putnam has been known to shatter CB's with his break ?

I think he was refering to Larry Nevel moreso than the Love Sponge.
 
I watched an interview recently that discussed how Putnam and Nevel were both cracking cueballs. Since you furnish the tournament balls, you may want to bring a few extra CBs. Just a thought.

This is the interview: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ajqVPu7zYKI

Good luck with the tournament.....wish I could be there.

What???

Seriously, thes guys are cracking cueballs ? Damn impressive if true... Any pics of said cueballs por favor?


I wonder what the speed of your break must reach to break a cue ball? 25mph? 27mph? :confused:
 
Must have been that Pakistanian batch of cue balls... I don't think I could break one with a hammer! I'm weak.. :(
 
These guys drive me NUTS with the breaking of CB's.

Over the years Putnam has broken more that his fair share. Nevel is kind of new at it.

I think I am going to start to have those guys post a bond for CB use at my events.


Ahh, what the heck. Lets have a contest between Putnam and Nevel this weekend to see who can break a CB 1st.

Any bets ?

I'll bet they don't do it with a leather tip. I've broke a few myself...more to do with the cue/ferrule/tip than my horsepower. The phenolic & G10 tips crack the cueball slightly on each break...this you know Mike. Then it only takes a powerful break with the same phen/G10 hit on a certain weakened spot & presto!!! I was showing off one of my j/b's to the mgr of a home/rec retail store. They had an odd bunch of cheap looking balls on the table...with no cueball. He racked 9ball then rolled me the 6ball to use as a cueball....first break that thing exploded like it had been hit by a .38 special. It took a chunk out of the side of the ball....looked as if it had big piece bitten out of the ball about the size of a quarter. Of course closer inspection showed it was a VERY cheap ball as the green finish was not very thick and the inside of the ball was white and looked like plaster. At the time it was still impressive for those watching...and of course everyone placed an order...LOL!!!:D

The Super aramith pro's that we use on the Viking Tour have the Pro Cup CB with the 6 red dots (Measels Ball). They retail for $41.95 at PoolDawg.com http://www.pooldawg.com/product/aramith-pro-cup-6-red-dot-tv-measles-cue-ball?source=trafficleader .

You are going to have to raise your bid if you want the trophy ball.

If either player does it I will have them sign and date the ball (pieces of ball?).

Are you on a budget or something?

Surely a prize such as this is worth considerably more.


Whatever the highest bid is I will offer to the player that completes the task 1st.


PS... what are we considering the terms as being broken are ? Would a significant dent do or cracking of the ball ?

And, what are we considering the terms of a $ are? US$ only?:D

Edit- oh yes, I am on a budget. It is called 2 kids in 4 years!!

Really though, I will defer to both definitions as determined by you, MJ. But IMO, it should be something that renders the ball unplayable...I already have what could be called little cracks (or veins:) )on my balls.

Nobody pays retail anymore, why should you?
 
He wants money

Mikey j don't pay retail for anything but Harley parts( maybe) and he just wrecked that so he's trying to get paid some cash.

PS I'll see if he has a hammer in his front seat this weekend at Burrkats

Leonard you got it all wrong. I am donating the cb. As an incentive I a offering a reward equal to whatever the highest bid for the broken cb is. The plaer gets the cash and the highest bid gets the broken cb.

Also. I get my Harley parts from. Chicago HD online at a 20% discount with No tax for Uncle Sam. Its the cheapest place.

see'ya at the event.
