Any idea what the shaft insert is made of, phenolic? I think I read somewhere it was something soft that may be difficult to replace but I may be misremembering.

I'm honestly not sure. Whatever Cuetec uses. I'm considering sending one of mine to DZ to have the ferrule/insert etc, replaced with Tomahawk. Unfortunately, I'm one of those "if it ain't broke don't fix it" guys.

I can’t find it. But in some video somewhere, probably buried in a podcast, Tyler Styler talks about spin to speed ratio and how trying to increase it has helped him make pockets bigger. So there is real world discussion about this subject.

Efren plays with a high spin to speed ratio.

Whether or not it helps you at all in your own game, it could be a neat statistic to place next to pro players.

You can actually track this over time with the DigiBall, though you need to export the data and do your own statistics in Excel.

Watching Chan vs Alcaide. Can't tell if Chan is super nervous or has a tremor. If it's just nerves, what a great lesson in execution. Even though you're really feeling nervous you can still play well.

He is going to get nightmares for missing that relatively easy 9 to win the second set and match. Hopefully, he will recover in the third set. Alcaide is not playing his best.

budget updated.
