I watched a live stream of an 800 Fargo rate player, competing in a $20 weekly tournament, recently.

if the tourney is legit handicapped, would that not give any pro the same chances as anybody else?

To that point, Julio Burgos (747) plays in some $20 Wednesday night tournaments at Beyond Billiards in South Florida. A typical format is the "chip tournament" in which players round-robin against each other, one game at a time, until you have lost your assigned number of games. Strong players get four losses. Some get five... weaker players get six. Julio and a few others get three losses.

With that handicap and a roomful of strong players (and it being nine ball), he is far from a cinch to finish in the money.

I played him one game a few weeks ago and I lost, but I was very happy to make it an extended safety battle in which I got to the table five or six times before he got an opening to really lock me up. While I lost the game, I felt like I gained some respect, which is fun.

Savannah “The RoadRunner” Easton using a wood shaft?

Woodshaft
Wow, I started this thread a few years back and it's still alive for some reason.
Again, to be clear: I don't hate cf. I've just played with wood for over 40 years and am frankly, too used to it.
Lot's of great players shoot with cf. And lots of great players shoot with wood.
I will say this though: if sponsors didn't "push/force" their top players to convert to cf over the past several years, many still probably would be shooting with wood. The profit margin on cf shafts is much larger than on high tech ld wood ones, and money rules.
I break with a radial cf 12.9 revo shaft on predator aspire butt btw, because even wood players know cf is obviously stiffest for breaking.
But I still shoot with a radial (uni-loc QR is garbage imo) predator vantage shaft on a predator sneaky pete butt for the feel/feedback I like.
To each his own folks. Try as many shafts and sizes as you can and pick the one YOU'RE most comfortable with!
Now everyone relax and accept others' personal preferences, and let's play some pools!!!:cool:

Bay Shore Billiards - Long Island, NY

easy-e
I just went and hit balls at a place called Bay Shore Billiards in Long Island. If I lived around here, that would be my go-to spot! Several new Gold Crown VII tables, and the rest Diamonds. I even ran into Steve Kurtz and got to catch up a bit after not seeing him for probably 15 years! If you're ever around Long Island, check it out.
