Question ... about pool cue cases ... sorry for not being NPR

Hey. I’m curious about what Doc asked you but you missed.

Would you have a cue made with a bigger butt so you didn’t need 2-3 grips….or do you like the feel of the grips so you would keep the butt thinner to use them?

Thanks for trying again. It's genuinely interesting.

I don't think he wants to answer directly.

The physics and geometry of cue control are pretty basic. It's basically why Earl infamously wrapped his cue handle up with duct tape and gawd knows what else.

Preferences are a lot more dynamic and interesting. I have been curious about trying a cue sleeve on a pool cue, and they are inexpensive. Just was never curious enough to bother. I don't really work on my game anymore, haven't for years. It's nice to just play without chasing all thar. My focuse is collecting, cue history, and cue knowledge now.

Now that you’ve lowered your forum voice from the all-caps shouting, I can go back to typing in lowercase.

But let me be clear: I’m not the person you should be targeting with cryptic posts. If you have something to say to me, say it directly. Send me a private message.

Word of advice: Too many cooks (AZBers) in the kitchen (Discussion Forum) can ruin the stew (objective).

SVB won his semifinal match (vs. Thompson) 7-2 and his 2 finals sets (vs. Steinhaus) 7-2 and 7-1.

For all 10 races to 7 he played in this event, he won 69 games and lost 21, a winning percentage of 77%.

SVB stats for the last 4 races to 7 he played (hotseat match, semifinal, and 2 sets in the final):
• Successful breaks -- 85% (17 of 20)​
• Breaker won game -- 80% (16 of 20)​
• B&R games -- 45% (9 of 20)​

I was able to watch one of his matches in person. Barely took 30 mins. Definitely a man among boys. Made some sick shots.

Anyone know what first place money was? For both the tournament and the auction?

He probably did better than he would have netted traveling all the way to China to play that group of sharks.

I like my Rhino must shaft on my Jacoby cue. I also like the Jacoby kielwood and ultra shaft on it. Mostly play with the Kielwood shaft that I added .3 oz to at the joint. Lately I've been playing more with the Must shaft. I like the Must shaft better than my regular Rhino shafts as it is a little more forward balanced. I've also added an 8g weight at the joint and weighted the cue to my liking. I did not like carbon shafts till I figured out how to get the balance I wanted, but now I play much more consistent with it. I actually think why some seem to struggle shafts has more to do with the balance of them vs the shafts they used before. The Rhino Must shaft is a great shaft.
