Wow, this draw is terrible. SVB, Gorst and Filler all in the same half of the bracket. One would have always predicted that two of them would have met in the final, but so much for that. If it is possible for the defending Bigfoot champion to be under radar, Labutis qualifies as that, but he's got a shot to defend if he's at his best.

The field is not as strong as in some years, but it is still quite elite. Even so, while once a gathering of the game's superstars, the Bigfoot has lost a bit of its shine. Wishing the best of luck to all of these fine players.

I've done many pool related inventions, none of which are gimmicks. One that I hope to be releasing soon is called "The Perfect Grip". It allows you to grip as hard as you like while still allowing the weight of the cue to do the work. I used a prototype of it for several years until it grew legs one day. Max Eberle got to see it up close and was interested in one that was custom fit to a person's grip (the prototype was fit to MY grip), which is a possibility for the future.

how about ordering tips that are the exact size of yours and go on without needing any shaping after.

have a small adjustable tube that slides over your ferrel and then put the glued tip inside and it fits securely on, no shaping.

How do you keep the glue that may squeeze out from adhering the tube to the shaft? I had to put a tip back on that fell off in the middle of a tournament, I used a 6 point socket to locate the tip perfectly on the shaft but I noticed I had to twist it to get it off as the socket was glued to the tip/ferrule.

I just don't see a huge advantage to tips sized to your shaft, trimming the tip just is not that big of a deal.
