great for pro tournaments and if a pro they should practice on such.
for the rest of us mortals why even bother to play on that size of pockets.

I would be interested in a top quality polish to make it shiny like new after it is all clean and conditioned, Something for the final polishing? Not many cleaners or conditioners leave a highly glossy finish like the original factory new look. Most of them are not actual polishes. They are generally multi purpose products. Kind of a one size fits all thing. I have found some shoe polish's work quite well, but I doubt they are at the top of the line.

No shit? I have used a few products with decent results. I figured There were some fantastic products out there that I simply was not aware of. I'll see if I can find some promising products and share my thoughts and opinions once I've had a chance to try them out.
It really is hard to find just a polish that assumes you don't need all sorts of other waxes or oils or conditioners. Just a high glossy finish. I will let you know when and if I find such a thing.

They forgot to give us the final score??? They did for Tevez's matches. Below copy/paste.

In the extended race-to-13 in the final, Atencio and Tevez were separated by a single, FargoRate point; advantage to Atencio, at 786, Tevez at 785. The FargoRate calculations separated them by decimal points; 50.7% to 49.3%. A coin toss. Won by Atencio, allowing him to claim the biggest (recorded with us) payday of his career.

That cue gives me nightmares. I used to play an old guy with a similar Joss West and he always beat me like drum!

I owned one - I will say he makes a very tight playing cue. Impressed to be honest. mine had ivory joint / ivory ferrule and all ebony on a purple heart core. His cues have a thinner handle and a med stiff taper on the shaft for a nice playing cue - similar to a perry weston with respect to the butt taper / diameter. expensive - yes - sold mine and made some money

Still wood
Still need to cut down forests to make it
I don’t see it replacing synthetic materials where they are already being used.

I understand, but I am not entirely convinced.

I haven't looked into what wood or woods they are using for this "superwood".

Forests are one thing, farmed trees are another. Faster growing less desirable species might have advantages through processing.

I am also skeptical of the word "synthetic". Carbon fiber for example is made from a plastic that comes from oil or coal. That requires drilling and digging and is a limited natural resource.

Here is an interesting example incorporating the economics and ecology of another wood that required processing. I found it interesting when he noted what it was like to work with. The properties of that wood are interesting.

Looks like they're having trouble filling the Bigfoot, now I'm debating whether I go watch. I mean, a Buc-ee's nearby is enticing but those Bigfoot matches could be whitewashes.

Looks like almost nobody in the viewing stands in Florida - plenty of seats but no spectators. IDK but to me, this whole tournament looks like a bomb.

I always use a house cue to break no problem breaks just fine for me .
