How would you do this?

Well.....you are a favorite to lose this rack...so hard to judge the second rail...I don't like an attempt at a 2 rail........What would I do?.....Punt.....I would attempt to bank toward the 9 but bank long at just above the middle diamond with pocket speed....and try and go one rail with the CB and freeze the CB to the 10.....The 8 may go in off the 9......It may send the 9 to the end rail and the 8 hangs in the pocket as a blocker.............or most likely you will sell out.....Just in case.......Don't forget to call the pocket so that when it goes in off the 9.....they know you meant to do that.

Another option is a kick in the side....find the contact point and use the mini mirror system to line up the angle...being a relatively short and narrow kick...you have a very good chance of sending that 8 toward the side pocket and at least scaring your opponent....

Single layer tip in between an Elkmaster and Triangle or Lepro?

336, I get them direct:


I think Seyberts has them too. I use the Medium Hard. Tried the Soft but it mushroomed, then mushroomed, then... well, you know.

Thank you.

I have become a Elkmaster Dud that I make myself guy. I have some good Elks now that aren't Duds.

The guy I play a lot used to use a Zan tip that they no longer make. If you like this, then he might and I will get a few and try it
on something. It sounds like they've perfected their process for these tips.

Nothing like a perfect tip that is played in and just keeps going.

best shaft for ball pocketing/accuracy?

youre gonna get 100 different answers including the cliche "its the indian not the arrow"

But generally speaking, regardless of materials used, the larger diameter the tip the more forgiving it will be. 13mm is a good starting point.

I used a 13.25mm one time and it was very "point and shoot" on center ball shots but also really high deflection if you need to spin the ball, thats the trade off with larger tip diameters.

I have been using a Predator Vantage shaft, 12.9mm and low deflection shaft for the last 2 months and I'm really liking it. Its as close to best of both worlds that Ive found.
