Ever do this?

Try playing with a house Cue as skill tester?
Back in aircraft maintenance, anytime a screw or bolt gave the crew chiefs or other maintenance personnel trouble, the machine shop (Metals Tech) got the call. We had specialized tools & know how. Half the time I’d walk out to the flightline with no toolbox, use their own tools, and get the stubborn screw or bolt out myself. After getting embarrassed a couple times, they usually tried harder before calling us again. Maybe you’re just showing off a little - like I used to. 😉😁

1990s 9-ball McCready vs. Paez

Honestly -- we may be over complicating things. I love these old matches as much as anybody, but a large part of what makes them interesting is probably the fact that they just aren't as good as today's players. This makes the racks more interesting. Couple that with the more "informal"commentary, and the pool is just more relatable to us players.

The players and the game were destined for a more professional product. Nothing wrong with enjoying the old and the new.

Cynergy shaft issues

I recently bought a new Cuetec Cynergy 12.5 shaft. I have noticed a variance in shaft diameter at the tip end. It is supposed to have a 15.5 inch pro-taper. It starts out as 12.5mm at the tip. As I move down the shaft towards the joint the diameter dips down to 12.41 then up again to 12.5. I was wondering if anyone else had this issue. It feels weird. I am tempted to sand it all to match. I have may have waited too long to report it as a warranty issue.
.09 difference isn't significant at all. It's the thickness of a hair or less. So each side of the shaft is around 1/2 a human hair less. It's absolutely insane to even think about something like that being a defect or effecting your shot in any way. Pool is 90% mental and this is definitely in the 90%.

Best Pool Ball Rack for 9 Ball and Straight Pool

I kept an eye on Ebay searching for used racks over a few months. Eventually found this gem. Built like a fine cabinet and solid as anything out there. I'm guessing PROspeed is no longer making these or even in business but it looks like the wood racks sold by Diamond are similar. They are probably not $14 like this was.

Not that I've used it but that price included the matching 9 ball rack.
