I saw that single one and variations of it. Also I have that set. I used my homemade allen wrench today. It's amazing how well it worked.
One other thing I noticed, that Must shaft had a fairly firm foam up to about a 1/4" or less from the vault plate. I really thought the foam wouldn't go so far forward or be a lighter foam. The vault plate only went in what appeared to be .300 inch. I ordered some Tomahawk today. I assume you are using epoxy to glue this stuff in?

I usually do .5” into the shaft but bore out some of it to lighten the load. Slow set epoxy with glue grooves.

Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

Is it my imagination or do the younger (say under 40) pool players in general not care about custom or high end cues? My experience in Atlanta is that most anyone under 40 has no idea of Szamboti, Balabushka, Joss West etc. etc. or handmade custom cues in general. Most seem delighted to have any cue that comes in two parts. Decal points? No problem. Valhalla or Lucky etc. etc. cues no problem. The high end of their aspirations may be a painted Predator with a rubber grip.

If custom and high end cues were stocks on the NYSE, I'd short them.

In the 90s the top Players were playing with Cues Made and in many cases given to them by top Cue Makers. Today all the top Players are signed by the bigger Production Cue manufactuers. When the under 40 crowd see this , this is what they want. So you are correct .

The market for tips today has gone bananas and the prices are outrageous.
I have tried many tips over the years and the one I feel is of the best quality, holds up great, and gives me superb control is very reasonably priced.
Ultraskin tips can be purchased for around 4.20 each and they offer tips that will match anyone's needs.
They are priced so that I am able to give them to my friends and they all like them better than the high priced ones they were using.

Mosconi Cup 2025, Dec. 3-6, Alexandra Palace, London

Styer has demonstrated ability to hold his own in the Mosconi Cup. There aren't many great options past him so hopefully this is just a one-off year where everything went wrong.

Thorpe has shown recent flashes of potential to compete at this level (5th Peri Open, 3rd US Open 10 Ball) but most of his money and top finishes in the past few years have come from bank pool and one pocket events and regional tournaments. He should be showing substantial improvement in major Matchroom and world tournaments to get another chance.

The US team has a clear core of SVB, Gorst, and Woodward for next year. Styer is pretty much a lock if he keeps showing up to Matchroom events and cashing. So that leaves one additional spot.

Shaw will probably get in the HoF because there’s about to be a big gap in players with HoF resumes turning 40 anytime soon and he’s first in line before Big Ko and Wu. We might actually see Alcaide sneak in because of that, although they may go with female players like Jasmin over the next couple of years.
