I put a new blade in and adjusted the height. At was a little too high. Hard to believe that it could make that much difference but it did. Works good now. I am convinced it was the height more that the blade.
This is the most important part. A lower rated player has more chance to win in predator format because of this At 0-4 down the better player gets looser and the worse player tightens up. If I’m 0-4 done or one set down but back to 0-0 for the next set, just 1 game won and I’m feeling like I am back in it- even though I’m not I feel as though I’m wining or at least on the way to being even again. I’ve played the sets format 3 times in a category 2 ratings higher than me. Every time I have progressed fairly far. Every time I have played a tournament of strategy race to 9 on the same level , I am luck to win one match
The angle into the cushion is almost never equal to the angle out. If there is no side spin on the ball, the angle out is always shorter -- more perpendicular to the cushion.
On rolling cue ball shots, as you see on many kick shots, the angle may appear to be equal -- the times two diamond system for kick shots -- but in fact the cue ball leaves the rail a little short and then curves into a little long, compared to the ideal equal angles.
Well, I thought I was getting a halfway decent custom few and it looks more like he removed the clear signed it and then cleared over the signature so it wasn’t as described and he’s trying to argue that it is

Or this one which looks very similar and an all in one kit (tip cutting blade plus tip centering) and is delivered from California and can be returned there if necessary:
Unfortunately, none of the videos I've found show the tool(s) completely apart, how the tool(s) connect around and center the shaft (I have collets to use to protect the shaft), how the blades are changed, etc.
I cannot figure out what the bottom part of the tool is for (in red rectangle):
It's easy to complain about the shootout but if a match is hill-hill, then the players have basically been playing as well as each other, and it seems like the winner of the match probably shouldn't be decided in a way that gives a huge advantage to the player who happens to be breaking for the last rack.
Other than a shootout, I don't know what else they could do. I suppose sudden-death sets of 2 racks where each player gets to break once?
