Pool Legend (Django) Bustamante Shows Us What Pool Cue He Uses!

Welcome back to another video. I'm here with a legend. We've come all the way to the Philippines. Francisco Dijango Bustamante. First of all, it's good to see you. It's been a while. Hey, Carl. It's good to see you too. Right, I've got a question about all these cues. So let's get all the cues out and then I'll fire a load of questions at you. Yeah. This is a Jacobi. So you play with Jacobi? Yeah. How long? Maybe a few years now. Few years? Yeah. I like it because the wood is strong. It's one piece. And I've been playing one piece my whole life. Have you tried? You know, a lot of the younger players are using carbon cues now. I tried, but I cannot play this cue because every time I cut the ball, I can hear it. Oh, you hear it, the sound? No, I can't hit the ball. Why? Why do you think that is? Because too much English, low deflection, you know? Ah, so that's like quite bending? Yeah, that's why I play one piece every time. Right, OK. Until now. Oh, do you know the weight? Yeah, this is 19 ounces. And what about the tip diameter? The tip is Elkmaster and then 12.75. Oh, so quite thick. Yeah. Elkmaster, I know a lot of the Filipinos always use them. Yeah, we like it because the weather here, you know, is hot. And then it's good for warm... The weather. The weather, yes. Do they crush them? Because I know... No, we press it. Oh, you press it in the vials? Yeah, we press it, yeah. Yeah, because a lot of snooker players used to use this tip. Yeah, but it's good when you press it, it's very nice. Right, OK. And the length, is it just normal height? It's 58. 58, OK. And you just have one shaft? I got two shafts. Right, let's have a look at the break cue. The break cue here is... What's this wrap? Leather. Is that leather? It's not real leather, it's like... Oh, it's fake. Because it's... Here it's sticky, but it's good, this one, because here, when you play in no air condition, it's good. Wow, that feels smooth, that. Yeah. Wow. And what is... Oh, that says Jacoby, right? Yeah. Wow, that's smooth, that. What do you do to that to make it so smooth? Before I play bare, but no more. Wow, that is really thin, that. Yeah, it's thin, because every time I clean it, I shave it. Wow, that's incredible. Yeah. Oh, you can see there, look at the bend on that. Yeah. It's like a fishing pole. I know, yeah. Get the fish out. Right, so we've got an old BK2. Yeah, this is an old brake I have. Back in the day, you was the master of the power brake, wasn't you? Yeah, back in the 90s. We make the shot, they shot my brake and... Oh, the speed. The speed, yes. Oh, yeah, the speed. And then he was 34 miles per hour. 34? Yeah. Wow. But that time, I was thin. You're still thin. Now I have a baby. When you do. Yeah. Too much food. So you, 34 miles an hour? Yeah, back in the 90s, that's 1992. I don't think anyone could probably beat that, right? It's a lot of people, you know, brake hard, but I don't know, because they never try again. That's just down to your timing, right? Yeah. And the way you brake. A lot of power, yeah. Right, we're gonna do another, well, we'll do another video, and we'll get you hitting a few brakes. Do you have a leather tip, or? No, this is not leather tip. It's like a Moe style. Oh, right, yeah. Yeah, okay. What about the weight? Somebody give it to me. You like heavier, or lighter? Yeah, this is a little bit heavy. It's like 20. I can't believe how smooth these shafts are. Do you do? I shave it, I shave it. What weight? Because when I play here in the Philippines, for example, you play in the outside, no air condition. Okay. The cue is sticky. Yeah, that feels nice. So you have to bleed it, yeah. And I never use gloves. I always use powder. Oh, yeah, what about Efren? Did he use gloves, or no? No. That's quite unusual, yeah. Old school. Old school, yeah. Old school. Anything else in there, or is that it? That's it, yeah. You don't, no jump cue, you don't jump, do you? No, we don't jump. You don't jump? Because I can't see it, because I got. What about in here, any gadgets, any things that you should show us? This is chalk. I have a chalk here, powder. And then this is, this is towel from when you play outside, you know, it's sticky. So you have this one, and then chalk. Here's my chalk here. And this is the extension. Is this, if somebody doesn't pay you the money? Why? I have a jump cue here, but it's not sharp. Oh, you just don't, okay. Oh, what's that for? Forget that. I thought it was the eye drops. No, that's a bit. I thought it was the eye drops. That's funny. What about in here, anything, or nothing? No, this is the small packet, medicine, and then that's the smooth paper. This is what makes this? Yes, yes. Oh, wow. Make you this one, and then tapir. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've seen that before. Yeah, there you go. That's it. That's all you need, pal? That's all you need, yeah. Right, listen, it's been a privilege and a pleasure. We're here in Manila. I've not seen Francisco for about 10 years. That's what's in the bag. Cheers, buddy. Thank you, pal.
