How about Americans can't play each other in the first round?
I have to admit I'm a 1st class cue head case...but I enjoy my craziness. I bought a beautiful custom from the first SBE. Nicked it...sent it to Proficient for a refinish...never used it again. Have a beautiful bumperless Schon Hoppe. Nicked the butt...sent out for a refinish...nicked it again. Like others said it's a tool. They will show marks. Best bet is use what you like. Do not over spend. Know a guy has an early Predator sneaky. The shaft is blue. The butt is beat... I hate himI am pretty gentle but still manage to find marks. If I took a picture of my P3 it would look crispy like yours. But if I rotate it in the light I can see lots of blemishes
Seeing this guy's posts... I know justnum was super interested in AI and such. Maybe he has achieved a type of quantum immortality through training an AI to post like him. But justnum could be intellectual sounding at times so probably not.Justnum reincarnated?
Can't let players like Chua hang around. Only a matter of time before he finds his stroke.
If you're talking wood shafts, ask in the cuemaker forum how much a custom taper bar costs. They would have to buy or build a new one. It's pretty complicated. For CF all I can say is that they know people will pay more so they charge more. You'll have to figure out if it's worth it to you.Why are cue makers charging over $60 for that one extra inch? Crazy. I would like to get a revo 11.8 PRO Taper at 30inch but I'm sure I would get charged that extra $80 for that one inch and why are they using conical taper anyways..this is pool not snooker.
Best of luck chasing perfection. I'm a little OCD but it appears you take it to the next level.I am pretty gentle but still manage to find marks. If I took a picture of my P3 it would look crispy like yours. But if I rotate it in the light I can see lots of blemishes

Dude, seriously. I'm not trying to troll you, but you're gonna drive yourself literally insane if you keep worrying about shit that doesn't matter. Stress kills. It will lead to health problems.Show me a 10,000 dollar screwdriver and I'll buy you the butt pad.
