I know some on here know these people and go to the pool room.

Does anyone know what kind of cues they are using especially Gary?
Also when Beretta is breaking she has something red on her shaft. What is that.

I also don't see any product placement at all am I just missing it? Are any suppliers or manufactures involved? A show like this needs to make a buck where ever they can.

Last night I saw episode 3 but not 4, I will watch it when it comes on demand. I had to go out. I must say episode 3 was the best yet. I liked the profiling of the players.

I liked the spot with Gary it certainly made him a bit more real. I think he is my favorite character now. I was under the impression he owned a successful construction business but he sounds like he is struggling.
Anyway it seems to be getting better, looking forward to seeing episode 4 when I can.

I haven't seen this episode yet, but I think it is what I call a "break sleeve". If it is one like Wang Kan uses, it is a plastic tube that you can slide over your cue and hold it instead of the cue. It slips and slides up and down the shaft and when you use it, it cuts down on the friction tremendously.

I make my own and use them on my break cue. I roll up a piece of thin cardboard and tape the outside of it with wide clear packing tape to keep the moisture of my hand from getting into the cardboard and making it soggy.

Here is a link to a "high dollar" one. I'll stick with my cardboard.

It may be something like that, it is like 5" long and looks like it could be a sleeve,
 
@macguy regarding product placements.

Finnegan works with Tony Robles on the Predator Tour. That's why he has all those shirts with the Predator logo patch.

Gary-Steve Klapp with Irish-colored veneers lol
Jen-Sponsored by Lucasi
Scotty-Paul Fanelli w/Mezz shaft
Gmac-not sure maybe pred
Ross-Pred sneaky/pred shaft
 
Does anyone know what the manufacturer's name is on Scotty's bridge? Freezed it a few times but couldn't quite catch it. The wrap end looks custom but the front bridge looks production.

I think I've read a past thread on here a year or so ago
about Scotty that mentioned Paul Fanelli made the
attachment for Scotty, but don't quote me on that. I do
think that Scotty is truly amazing and I wish him the best
of everything in pool and in life.

Here's the Youtube Video about Scott and Paul Fanelli making him the prosthetic bridge.

I'm kind of glad that the product placement isn't over the top as I feel like it would cheapen the show. Avid pool players recognize the Delta 13 racks, the Brunswick Gold Crown tables, the Diamond tables, the Predator Cues logo, etc.
 
Scott is a fierce competitor, he used to have a huge break. Paul was a great human, and an innovator.

Paul Fanelli made his bridge for him but yeah I saw the product placement in the show. I think it was a sticker on his bridge. It looked like the name was Focused Apparel. It's a local clothing company lead by Brian Russel.
