Sad there's only 32 players.

The list is strong and maybe that's the idea these days.

What are they doing to attract young/new players?

Just wondering?

Do any USBA Board Members post here?

If so, maybe give us an update on your promotion efforts.

Are you asking because you are not capable of doing it, or not sure what style of handle was on the case originally?

At every local event I go to, and also the local events I am the TD, the TD says at the player's meeting to record any close hits in slow motion. EVERY single player has that capability on their phones. There is really no reason NOT to do it, imo. Unless we are talking about a big pro event.

Hi all, I have a Cuetec Breach ghost edition 12.75mm, I can not see any small scratches up close but just to be safe there may be tiny ones in the black parts (couldn't see in person but picture shows them). However, there’s no deep dents or scratches on the shaft or butt. Overall, The cue looks and breaks great. I tried to capture all the cue details in the photos but if more information is needed just ask.

It has the original Cuetec’s Kintrol tip. Weight is 19 oz.

Will be shipped in its original box with accessories. $650 obo Shipped. US only.

OK, I'm gonna try a CF shaft. Been using wood for 53 years, first the Schon OEM's, then got a couple precat preds when they first came out and have been using the pred cat shafts now for some time.
I'd like a CF shaft that hits at least somewhat like wood meaning it doesn't have a metallic, ting or whatever when striking the CB or at least that sensation is subdued. I've been using Kamui super soft clear/blacks for some time and may step up to a medium tip of some sort.
I want to be in a mid/price range on this. Joint would be 5/16-14, prefer a pro taper. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Being as there doesn't appear to be vast deflection differences between the various manufacturers, I'd be inclined to try either a Rhino Must, or a Raven Pro, and save the extra $$.
Just my opinion.

So for the time being, jump cuts are the way to go? Also that split hit where you stop the CB. That one leaves no evidence.

Good for you, Fast Lenny, for showing grace, a rare commodity in today's world.

I too have seen the good, the bad, and the, well, not-so-good side of Marty over the years. He's a member of God's human family, like we all are, and capable of errors in judgment.

I do wish him a speedy recovery and for him to be back in the saddle again ASAP.

For sure. We need to forgive and have understanding.

The other day I was replacing the ferule on a shaft and it was threaded 5/16-18 I thought but for some reason the tenon was a bit thick. Like .330" and about .270" on the minor so I decided to build a ferule for it instead of making the tenon smaller. Cut a piece of hydex and drilled it out to .250" and then bored it to .275". So far so good. I live threaded it I took my first pass .020" deep which is my standard first cut on ferules. Nothing to see. Went back and took another pass at .010" and when the threader came out it had melted plastic on it plugging it up and the threads looked like crap. The thread mill is fine I believe as I have threaded a bunch of ferules and tenons with it since. I know feeds and speeds and technique but all things considered I find these materials too soft at too low of a temp. I have also had a sharp 5/16 drill overheat and gum up in them and never in juma. All things equal I'll stick with tried and true and leave the other to people who think they can tell the difference in how they hit. I sure can't.

Your mileage may vary this is my experience and opinion and disagreeing will not butt hurt me.

John not to argue what you tell us happened, but can we see how many variables could have caused this. Let's be fair and rule them out. Anyone reading this, is welcome to chime in. I'm learning, we are all learning
