Lukas Verner wins WNT Ranking Event

While I agree about Fedor, it’s from a bit different reasons.
America is an immigrant nation, it was built by immigrants and many great Americans were not born in the USA.

The thing with Fedor is that most of his pool was developed in Russia, he represented Europe at the Mosconi before so switching sides feels like cheating. But then he picked the losing side so maybe we let him slide

The thing is, that I just feel bad for the other up and coming players who would have probably loved a spot on the team. Fedor did not need a spot on the team. He could have just played on the Europe team again, if they would choose him again. I just feel that they should have at least waited until Fedor is a US Citizen, before allowing him on the American team. In the mean time, allow some of the other up and coming players to have a spot on the team. Those are just my personal thoughts though. Nobody has to agree with me on my opinions. I really do not care.

Any known Reviews out there about HAMA cues, or their Hybrid Carbon / Maple shafts, from Japan?

I understand that this is a very long shot question, but those out there who might be into the Japanese Custom cue market, may know of HAMA cues, from Japan.

HAMA cues builds a very unique type of Hybrid Carbon / Maple shaft, that I think looks very interesting.

Here is an example of a HAMA cue that a customer had the cue maker build, but that is probably a rare example, because the customer had HAMA make it into 5 pieces, to put into a very compact type of custom case, that they also had HAMA make, I assume.


By the way, the above post is not even a review about how the shaft plays, not to mention, the cue above was made in a very different way, cut into 5 parts. So, I assume that might affect the hit too, compared to a normal 2 Piece HAMA cue.

Oh, and also, I do not even know how to contact the cue maker, but even if I could, I would not want to bother him, about a review on his shafts. Rather see a review from maybe one of his customers anyways.

Anyways, I am mainly just very curious to find any reviews about the Carbon / Maple Hybrid shafts that HAMA does, with all of the HAMA cues that I ever seen.

I just think they look so cool, but I wonder if they are very nice playing cues, or if they have the type of power that the high end full Carbon shafts offer.

I recently learned that there are a few guys here in the US that also build these Hybrid Carbon / Maple shafts, but the better one is kind of pricey at around $400.

Anyways, maybe there might be some members on here from Japan, who might share their thoughts about one of these shafts, or maybe someone out there might see this post, and share their thoughts about HAMA cues, or their Hybrid Carbon / Maple shafts.

I just think they look really interesting, and I love the look of the long straight taper, that does not appear to get much thicker at all, before it goes into the Maple section, which is probably at least 16" (or maybe more) down the shaft.

Thanks for any thoughts.

PGA Player Mic'd Up/Pool Why Not?

I enjoy hearing the chat between the caddie/player in match play.... before Shot choice/then execution.
Awhile back I saw this PGA situation in Play/they may still do it, players are mic'd up and talking about their up coming shot as they walk to it.
I think it could work in pool, because I Know I talk to myself saying such.... ''make sure I stay on This side of my next ball/shot".
Or more concerning, take care of Whitey more than the shot.
I'd truly enjoy hearing what Gorst/or any great player, what he's saying to himself when he choses some of his shots.
Often the cue ball placement is waaaaaay more important than the shot and often allot more is going on than just those two concerns.
My pool mentor told me many times, the casual observer of a pool game watches the balls being shot in the pockets, the knowledgeable observer watches where the cue ball goes. Take care of whitey. During my educations, nothing was more frustrating than putting Whitey right where I wanted him....or close....and missing the damn shot.

PGA Player Mic'd Up/Pool Why Not?

I agree.
Watched this one the other day.

A pool version would be cool
  • Shotgun Mics (Primary Method): Highly directional shotgun microphones are the standard method for capturing audio on a golf course. These are operated by audio technicians ("A2s") near tees and greens, and sometimes mounted on cameras to pick up the sound of a club hitting the ball or conversations from several yards away.
