When say finished, do you mean they apply something to the shaft or just the process of sanding/buffing etc?

Likely finished with a 3000/5000/8000, etc grit sandpaper. It's possible a thin coating of something is applied prior to final sand/buff.

sounds like its time for the 'AZBilliardBigassCarbonShaftTest'. Just get 'em all in 12.4/.5 and use one butt and let 'em duke it out. That would be a BUNCH of shafts to test.

Interesting idea.

Rusty, the Hellen Keller one really made me chuckle out loud.

Good Morning

The break on a 9' doesn't even matter unless you are a runout player. At the local level, everyone but the TOP dogs are missing 1-4 times per rack.

I've been here since Thursday, getting used to the time zone and weather. Only light rain and drizzle so far. Actually, the weather has been pretty good for walking around.

I'm off to York this morning by train to see Ronnie O'Sullivan play in UK Snooker Championship

Very envious, I'd love to go to the UK to watch snooker more than pool. I sell clothes and came across this brand that specializes in Travel /anti pick pocket clothing. I found some shorts, they are made out of nylon and seem to be a very durable hiking type material. Anyone in any big city could use them. Very unique with zip up pockets within zip up/button up pockets.

There is nothing as low squirt as Predator's offerings. From 1996 or whenever they started until now. I've tried about every other brand that the locals had since I got my first 314-1 in the 90's, until today, with all the various CF options. If low squirt is your primary focus, Predator's line simply can't be beat. Yes, you'll pay a premium, but they are the best in that category.

I have tried to get away from their higher prices, and in the end, I ended up with higher squirt shafts that aimed differently sitting in my closet collecting dust.

As suggested multiple times, take ball in hand after the break and play the ghost. 9-Ball is about shooting balls in pockets as well as breaking.

Press conference got spicy.

Tyler told Filler that the rest of the Europe team didn't want him on the team last year, because of the WPA issue.

Shaw said SVB wanted Sky to pick Lukas over Billy. Shane didn't really deny it.

very popular in India, It's a combo of pool and shuffleboard. I've seen a ton of trickshots

This would pop up on IG clips, they play some crazy multi rail shots but surely you just see the most insane trick shots. I was getting a lot of clips from South America?? on a 2.5 x 5 table with pyramid type pockets and everything is shot at warp speed because the table roll must be horrific. on ancient looking felt One of the main players is a fat guy who only plays shirtless lol!!

Then we could all argue about how they tested them, ha ha.
