so agreed, filler is the best rotation player in the world right now.

as to the best player, we dont yet have a standard to judge that. shouldn't the best player be the best all around player.
and why not a true all around champion tournament.
banks
straight pool
one pocket
rotation

are

all games played in big tournaments. the winner is then the real best pool player in the world.

and i admit, filler is the favorite for that as well.

I know in the past snooker tables were governed by non-published templates controlled by the WST (or other snooker org) that would verify the pockets were all in spec. Did that practice stop?

This looks really interesting. $28 for the extension and bumper. Bolt is long but you could cut back to achieve desired weight.

The image shows a pool cue featuring Shane Van Boening's signature on a natural wood-grain forearm. Based on current reports as of March 2026, this appears to be a teaser for the highly anticipated Cuetec SVB Generation 3 (SVB 3).


Initial Details on the New Release
While full official specifications are still being finalized for general retail, early indicators suggest several shifts from the Gen II series:

• Aesthetic Redesign: The cue showcases a more traditional four-point spliced look with black veneers set against a figured maple forearm.
• Signature Placement: Unlike previous models where the signature was often on the butt cap or lower sleeve, this new version features a prominent signature directly on the wood-grain forearm.
• Performance Core: It is expected to continue using the A+ grade kiln-dried Canadian Maple core popularized in the Gen II series, likely paired with the Cynergy 15K carbon fiber shaft.
