Looks like I should check out Chris's if I get a chance! For the locals, what nights do they have leagues/tournament's at Chris's? I probably won't hit a ball (not packing my cue) but wouldn't mind watching something.
I should loan you my 3-piece carbon fiber cue I've brought it as a carry on many times. One day I'll have to see if it goes thru the newest TSA machines.
I've been playing 15-ball rotation recently and decided to give the AZB ghost a try. Had a decent 9-0 session. I couple stumble shots, but mostly clean.
Don't forget to change playback speed to 2X [or more].
