I haven’t heard anything more, Moe.

a layered tip would be better.

It wouldn't be just a layered tip, it'd need to be a tip with different hard and soft layers --- either Taom Fusion, Kamui Athlete, or Zan Hybrid Max.

I have a "tulipwood" O'MIN cue. It may have been made in China, I really don't know. As a hobby cue maker myself, I can say that this cue is very well made. I believe it does have carbon fiber tubing in the shaft and it has a stiff hit. The wood is not actual tulipwood but is like Diamondwood, an orange colored laminate. The seam of the leather grip is just barely visible.

Please pm. I have one for you in the $75 shipped range

I read over the rules. I kind of don't like that if you make a ball on the break it's a re-rack and doesn't count and you break over. I hope that doesn't become the norm.

It’s been the rule at the DCC for a while I think. To me it makes perfect sense in rack your own. Not so much in opponent rack.

Since DCC started doing it, it seems re-rack pretty much is already the norm for most tournaments.

I'll see if I can find out more about it tonight, I'm playing NAPA league singles. I'd guess one pocket would also be singles; wonder if they'll handicap by ball count or games. In 8/9 ball there are some 9-2 races - that won't work for one pocket.
