    Rhino cf shaft

    They do sell a set of testers for 5/16-14 pins. These are really for testing the various pitches of pins, but you would solve your problem too. A side benefit is you might find one fits your cue better. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Pout instead of Pool

    DAZN Account Problems

    Also, I did a month in December and the monthly plan is now, not just one stream, but only one device can be logged in. This was quite a pain for me as I moved from TV to TV in my house. I don't think I will bother watching the US get destroyed this year. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

    DAZN Account Problems

    I can't say much about your mystery but I highly recommend people sign up through an Apple device (maybe android too but I haven't used it). Apple keeps a stupid amount of money from DAZN but that is their problem, not the customer. Then you can cancel with certainty. Sent from my Pixel 6a...

    Doc Frye shaft - fit of piloted shafts

    If you want it to have the pilot making contact at all, you would be better off getting the Schon version and getting it trimmed. The alternative,like here: https://seyberts.com/collections/jacoby-shafts/products/5-16-x-14-thread-jacoby-black-v4-0-carbon-fiber-cue-shaft?variant=42699880267974...

    A new way to think about position?

    Dr Dave had a recent video on shooting into the line. I highly recommend it. His demonstrations showed ways to play where you could be short or long of ideal and be good. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

    I received this link from PayPal about the IRS today.

    How about this scenario? A person, you, me or anyone else buys a Predator cue for $1200. They use it for a month, and decide it isn't for them. Put it up for sale on AZ/FB for $1000, sold as goods to protect seller and buyer, what do they owe in taxes? What would the IRS think they owe in taxes...

    Joint identification

    I hoped that my own photo would help but the two pins look pretty similar. I can assure you that my left cue is 5/16-14 and the right is 5/16-18. I do think yours are 14s but you might want to stop in a pool hall on league night. A Joss/Schon is a 14 and a Meucci is 18. A couple of turns will...

    Your favorite pin & why?

    I have tried everything and have only kept 5/16-14 and radial. I started with a Schon and my first favorite customs were from Barnhart and Nitti, both radial. All of my carbon shafts are for radial so I'm using maple or kielwood on a Jensen or Sly (5/16-14) or carbon on Radial. Sent from my...

    can someone explain TAP skill level raising to me?

    Also, skill levels are separate for each format. I've seen a player be a 5 in 8ball and a 3 in 9ball. One level difference happens often. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

    can someone explain TAP skill level raising to me?

    Winning or losing a match in Tap, has no impact on skill levels. It is simply your ball count ratio, makes/misses, with defense making a little impact. Extreme example: If you break and run the first rack, break dry next and your opponent runs out and breaks and runs the rest they need, you...

    Cuetec Cynergy shaft to Avid Butt

    Cuetec makes their shafts in two diameters for their pin. One of the 2 should fit flush but not the other. Helpful and not helpful at the same time. If buying new from Seyberts or another site, they should help, plus they have a good return policy. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

    Does a "compression fit" do anything?

    As far as having the pilots trimmed, the only reason would be if you want to sell a shaft. Even then, the buyer can get it done if they need it. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

    Does a "compression fit" do anything?

    Yes. Mezz are tight, but in a different way than the compression fit described here. It is the joint threads, not the pilot. I had an entry level mezz with an ex pro shaft. You could feel the snugness as you tightened on any butt, before the pilot got near the butt. Sent from my Pixel 6a...

    Does a "compression fit" do anything?

    I would say that if a pilot is meant to do anything, a snug fit maximizes that thing. I have a Sly with two original shafts that have that compression fit, just as you described. Bought used, it also came with two other shafts that I learned were made later without the butt sent back so the fit...

    Anyone see that Blackboar cue on Facebook? Ouch.

    The grey being stained is obviously fine. I think (fear) that the points on those cues are paint too. That is a much bigger thing. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

    Stay away from DAZN

    I recommend you sign up through another party rather than directly from dazn. Subscriptions are easy to manage on Apple products and probably similar in Android too. It is harder to pull shenanigans like a cancelation fee. For this year, I could clearly see that I had service through January 5...
