Wish someone who make an elegant white butt. Everything is so dark these days, esp because of carbon shafts!

Only notable, mostly white butt is the new SVB Cuetec.

I think the person in the best position to actually see if it was good or not was Yapp. His reaction immediately after shooting the shot dropping his cue just short of banging it on the floor and turning to the referee waiting for the call tells me that he knew it was a bad hit. I don't blame him, I don't think he was going to call the foul on himself. But his response after the shot it is really telling.

No one knows what Yapp was thinking in the moment except Yapp himself (sometimes I am not even sure what I am thinking on such close shots).

In any case, Cornerman told us what Yapp said about why he reacted as he did. Sounds plausible to me. Cornerman's explanation also sounds plausible to me.

Hard for me to believe Yapp is lying.

Raises the question: Should refs based calls on physics. Marcel has done that, with some controversial results.

I am fine with humans making the call, even if it means some mistakes.

Heading up this afternoon... can someone confirm if the action room is still a thing... heard there wasnt much of one this year.

Ron Kilby used to post here, but not for a while. "kilby" I think he started making cues about 1985.

Thanks. I'm trying to get an idea of their worth.

I have an ostrich case 1x2 with no lid. It's unmarked, but looks like a Thomas with the side button. I just need a lid to use it.

I have an entry level Ron Thomas case with side button snap ( confirmed by John Barton /JB cases) but it is the full case …. I’ll sell it complete only ….. MyBad it’s a 1x1 ) STILL WILL SELL IT

I put up what he said on why he reacted that way. He did think it was good, but knew it was close. He was just waiting for the ref.
