Nice idea but perhaps complicated given war, distance, and language.

For playing cues, no ferulle is best. Just a thin pad. Or for layered tip, no pad. Heresy, I know :)

How and why would you have 20K-30K in cash?

after you miss, walk away and stay away. make 'em come find you. be polite, never say a word. only have to do it once.

Monterey, Easy Street Billiards.

They are made and play as good as any cue out there, custom or production. Can't go wrong with a Mezz.

CF isn't a magic material. I used to shoot a lot of traditional archery, built up my own arrows. Wooden arrow shafts warped, could be funky. CF were much better, once I weeded out the bad ones. I'd start with a dozen CF blank shafts and if I ended up with 8 that flew consistently the same, I was...

IMO, CF shafts are not alike, even from same company. If it takes weeks to "get used" to a shaft, I have no interest. Like wood, some are sweet, some not. IMO, LD shafts from large companies are more consistant. Have, fun with it, try 'em out :-)

He'll get to you, I just heard from him today.

IMO, play the same. Radial, IMO, easier to put together, and 3/8-10 is easier to find or re-sell, but I'd go Radial.

In BCA rule games, I often play deliberate fouls, it's called smart play, just part of the game. But sounds like you were playing local rules and that's OK too. You just have to know how they play.

Mezz USA has them new for $490. I paid $300 for AXI-R and wx700 shaft in great condition in 2020. I would think 350? and I don't think the rubber wrap is original, which knocks the price down.

very good point

I knew two people that tried to make a feature full length movie, they were world famous photographers, they had two famous household names as stars, and a world famous Oscar winning writer. Terrible time getting the money, and to get the stars and money available as the same time is next to...

make that 99.9999999999999999999% never heard of him :) we don't realized it but our pool world is very small as far as famous players being known to the general public
