At work, the president of the company is very good at pool, specifically 9-ball. We have a pool table in the center of the office and there’s a standing challenge that if we can beat him 5 out of 9 games, he’ll buy us a pool cue. I’ve been working here for 10 months and after about 20 matches, I finally won. I feel really good about that match because I didn’t win by shear luck - no easy 9 ball combos, 9 ball breaks, etc. Every win was earned and I came close to running several of the tables.
For my prize, I’m getting a Lucasi L-P70 Pool Cue. The butt and forearm is ebony with crimson inlays surrounded by micara. The wrap is black Irish linen with red specs, and it features three crimson rings surrounded by silver set in black phenolic.
One of the reasons I went with Lucasi is the uniloc quick release pin so that I can take it apart quickly. It came with a hard rock maple shaft and Le Pro leather tip.
I’ve heard nothing but good things about this cue, and can’t wait for it to arrive (it’s being shipped UPS Ground).
