they were the best and most accurate in their day.
still like them the best, but some now have smaller tolerances. if that is more important to a person.

for home great but out and about since so expensive, most rooms are going with other brands so nothing is standard.

That looks like a cool system.

I cannot fault Yapp here. His facial expression showed he knew he might have fouled but wasn't sure. With a referee present, he was willing to defer to the referee and abide by the call made.

I contacted them recently trying to order a tip press and her responded fairly quick.

If the ref makes the right call, it’s 9 to 5, with FSR breaking. Is he a favorite from there, obviously not. Is he capable of winning the next five racks, obviously yes.

I beat Buddy Hall in a match trailing 2 to 7. In a race to 11. Things out of nowhere can just all of a sudden turn around. With players of that caliber, it don't take much. FSR as you call him could have without a doubt won that match. Hell, he might have run out the rest of the set. But will never know will we.

i think the ref should call based on what he sees of the hit and not the way the cue ball rolled. if they want that and this shot was a clear foul, then you need to have a camera. no camera then ref makes his call based on what he sees of the hit.

other wise ref calls what he sees, is fair for both sides. it can work for you or against you. that has been how pool was reffed forever.
other wise the hit becomes more subjective from the ref. even though some shots like this are clear. but only from the after roll of the cueball.

if blacky cant run 5 balls think about all the others that have to spend ten minutes chalking up and putting their sticks together.

even a very decent player goes a long time not running 3 racks out of 8. with where the cue ball lands on the break.
not many would i stop betting with at that game..

sure the players here are better than what we might see on league night. but in general many are really just rec. players that may only hit balls on league night. nothing wrong with that.

That looks great. Since posting in this thread I picked up a D-1. It doesn’t look as nice as your refinished one, but looks good and is in excellent condition. Nylon wrap is in great shape. It hits great. All I’m doing to it now is a new tip. I don’t know I’d ever have it refinished, but if I do it would probably go back to McDermott like yours did. If I get a second shaft it will be a plain old maple one.
