i had one done and hits great. also so the joint fits all my other 5/16 14 shafts.

old wood from house cues and such make great conversions. just wrap it and joint to fit other shafts and off you go.
and put thread in the original shaft and you got two shafts and a nice hitting cue for less than some crappy production cue made with green wood.

What do you suppose our ScienceFARGO ratings would look like?

I haven't heard of that one. Is it very popular?

Today, most cuesport associations seem to be using a ranking system of of some kind - most useful for seeding tournament draws.

I understand how such systems can work having designed a similar thing into one version of BallStream scoreboards. Before that I recall seeing a rating system used in online pool games - the higher ranked a player was; the more points were won or lost. So if you were a top ranked player you could be gambling with 800-1,000 points while a low ranked player might only win or lose 20 points. One had to be very careful which challenges you accepted, because if you were not on your toes you could lose your ranking. For new players it is a long road to the top. It was also aged - if you didn't play your ranking dropped. I eventually got into the top 10 but it was nerve wracking. I recall them modifying the rules to prevent cheating - too many were logging out of the game in the hope of preventing the loss being recorded - disappearing before you finish your break.

They gambled CJ won 3 sets .Won a set 3 days in a row. JA was more of a tournament player. I believe it was right after JA won his world championship.

I'm sure CJ beat him many more times than that. The difference is that Archer was probably a Top 5 player in the world for fifteen consecutive years. You can't say that about more than a few that ever played the game (Mosconi, Greenleaf, Strickland, Sigel, Varner, SVB, Lassiter and Mizerak come to mind).

Sold Bar Bells............Windows.....Wrapless......F/S

Newsheriffintwn
Here's a really beautiful one I completed recently. The cue features blue (peacock color) veneers throughout, windows, bar bells and notched diamonds...great old school look!

Dark walnut stained maple, wrapless design. The cue is straight together and apart, it's ready to run some serious racks!!! The cue features my hybrid shaft design, a cf tube in the first 5 inches of the shaft! These shafts really play good.

I've had numerous requests for butt alone, so I made this one with a simple black ring at the joint. When using a cf shaft doesn't look out of place with fancy ring work on one side and none on the shaft. I would consider selling the butt alone for those with cf shafts already for..........1000 shipped UPS in the U.S. insured in ABS tube for protection.

Any questions Please PM me

Are Junior players being set up for a tough life?

No doubt, this is good advice. A player that aims to be a pro must make sure that the lifestyle that comes with being a pro is one they would welcome.

For example- I think Landon Shuffett had the potential to be a world class player- he annihilated Earl on a 10 footer and looked nearly flawless at age 18, but he decided that wasn't the lifestyle he wanted.
