Author Topic: Fight Club c/o's John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 10-17-1999 06:03 PM                     I was reading about the reference to Brad Pitt explaining that changeover cues are called "cigarette burns" in the trade. I have never heard of this...anyone else? Perhaps it was just made up for the movie? ------------------ John  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

I've always heard them called Clint Pharrs(Spelling may not be right as I don't have my cue marker sitting by the computer, pretty sure it's "ph" and two r's). I'm sure that someone may have, in the past, made a comment that they looked like cigarette burns.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

I have never (until last weekend) heard the term 'cigarette burns' used to describe changeover cues before. and you were close, its Clint Phare, the manufacturer of the cue scribing device..
