I am a good person. My intent was to put all the money (if I made any at all) was to put it into Professional Players fund. I know what I went through; and I want the up and comers to have it a bit easier. That was all. I don't need the money. I just want to memorialize men that might be forgotten, I wrote about George Brunt, Steve Cook and names I don't see often.

Intent about money has nothing to do with any of this, and I'd say any hopes of monetizing this are slim at best.

I'll take my leave, and mean it. You aren't listening and pretty sure you won't.

Ah, yes. We also had an exchange on Southern Billiards forum. Now I know who you are.

I think you might make better headway on the AzBilliards Discussion Forum by disclosing your previous AzB handle. Of course, with the “Ms” in front of the name, it would be a bit of a giveaway. I believe there are many members here who would welcome you back and genuinely enjoy a fun back-and-forth.

I'll assume you're a good person because I prefer to assume that about people, but suggest this isn't the best way to deal with personal matters and hope you have friends who can provide support vs. seeking affirmation from strangers on the internet in this way.

If you've got some great and appropriate stories to share, maybe just roll all this back and have at it?

Have you tried using regular radial joint protectors.

I have a spare joint protector, the male portion, that goes into the shaft end, and I think it is a radial. It works fine, but I need the butt and protector as well. It's just a bit difficult for me to identify this single piece that I have as to what type of thread it actually is. Here is a picture of the butt end to identify?

Have you tried using regular radial joint protectors.

Most folks hit this shot too full. Watch others. Now you know what to correct.

Bump.

Bump.

On power shots I raise up higher than usual for the entire process. It tends to free up your stroke.

Thanks. Congratulations on the sale.

And yet with the metal plug (not really a ferrule) the front end mass is low enough for it to be probably the shaft with the lowest deflection.
And it’s definitely more durable than the Cynergy soft ferrule

Well maybe other people have tried them and can give some personal incite as to whether they felt a difference. It’s a pool forum ..if we don’t ask questions and have conversations whats the point lol

One difference among the JFlowers CF shafts is SMO's metal vault plate/ferrule. A recent Reddit post showed the metal ferrule and a JFlowers website shows the same thing in only their SMO. I know of no other pool carbon fiber shaft with a metal ferrule (snooker? yes).

I am looking to move on some of the ball sets that I have. Regarding the set in the post above, anyone have an idea what the fair market value would be? I cannot find any info on what they would go for.

Thanks,

You talking about Aramith Harlequins?

The easiest and probably cheapest solution is to visit the reading glasses kiosk at your local drug store and try on pairs of varying strength until you find what sharpens up your vision best at the desired distance. You may want to get two pair: One for seeing at 3-7 feet for pool, and a stronger pair for reading.

Not as cheap, but probably better, is what TN Joe recommends: see an eye professional for a proper refraction geared for near and intermediate distances.

I shall! I only realised it was you during the penultimate game of the Friday session at the Mosconi in the stands but you'd disappeared by the time I could say hello!

OK, see you in May.
