Billy took it pretty well in the main body of text. A lot of people have done a lot worse. The scare heads made it seem like his comments had been far more. Perhaps some weren't quoted.

I missed an end of the year invitational because I fell one event shy. The rules were published, no whine coming. I had to laugh, at least to myself. The man running things was verbally tiptoeing when telling me I wouldn't be able to shoot the championship. I told him I hadn't expected to. Then he asked if I would come out and help run things! I did, no hard feelings for the rules being enforced.

I see many pool players ignoring pre-event meetings and rules printed on flyers. Same ol' story but I feel these people that don't bother to learn the rules shouldn't bother to complain.

When you say that your high performance model is low deflection, obviously there is measurement units for that, but were does it stands against the known brands? have you tested it?

really shouldn't be a big problem to standardize this whole low deflection thing in testing and measurements. I guess it's not the manufacturers best interest to actually get a measurable spec. Predator used to do it when there was no competition...

We had someone independently send out unmarked shafts out to have good players test them with no knowledge about them and received feedback and comparisons. This way it is as unbiased as possible. No shaft name, no manufacturer name, no one standing over their shoulder. Just blind feedback. Those shafts were given back to us and adjustments were made along the way to the shafts construction. More were sent out and brought back to make more changes. Once we settled on our construction techniques. Other shafts were sent back out to get feedback on the final shafts.

A. He should know the rules
B. If he thinks that he's not good enough to finish in the money to make a trip worthwhile, then he is definitely not good enough to be on the Mosconi team

I want to see him doing it again...

Our webpage and Facebook page are not ready. But shafts are available. The O.P. Has one of our elevate models. It is a mid deflection shaft designed for someone who is moving from wood to a carbon shaft. Our high performance model is low deflection but with a more solid feel than the typical carbon fiber shafts. The Elevate model is $499 and the Zenith model is $549. Shafts are available in 11.8mm, 12.4mm and 12.8mm. The 11.8mm and 12.4mm are available in 29” and 30”. The 12.8mm is only available for the moment in 29”. Whitten tips are standard. The joints that are currently available are Radial, 3/8-10, 3/8-11, 3/8-11.5 (Bludworth), 3/8-14, 5/16-14, 5/16-18, and uniloc. More to come soon.

Pool fans should buy products from companies that support professional pool.

What does Diamond do for the professional pool game?

It seems to me that Diamond take a lot of money out of pool.

Next time I am buying a table, it will be Rasson or Predator.
