Does that .2mm really make a difference?

If the players go at the game with the attitude of, "Screw him before he screws me," that's true. Maybe a change of attitude is needed.

The International Open is played with the strict rules and mostly no ref at the table, and somehow the players manage. Maybe they have the right attitude towards the game.

My point is when most people compare "easy" to "hard" tables (the 1.0 foot wide raised walkway to the 1.5 foot wide raised walkway), they are just thinking of PLAYER and TABLE. But there is a triangle here, PLAYER, TABLE, and OPPONENT. And when the TABLE gets easier, the OPPONENT gets better.

Let's say you're playing poolscholar. Yes it is harder to run out on a 9-foot table. But if you miss, you have a decent chance of getting back to the table. Missing on the barbox against him is a sellout. Poolscholar effectively becomes a stronger opponent on an easier table, complicating calling the table "easier." That is the longer dropoff with the wider walkway.

Mistakes are more likely forgiven on harder equipment

Why would your top division start players less then 525+ ?

What a wonderful picture. Chang was usually very reserved in his demeanor, but on that rare occasion that he came out of his shell, he was delightful.

Would really like to see Cuetec add a new shaft size to their Cynergy shaft line. A 12.20mm-12.30mm would be a great mid point between the current 12.5 and 11.8 offerings.

I have been using a Jacoby Black V4 12.3mm for a few months and really like it. I know Jacoby offers a V4 with the Cuetec 3/8x14 thread. Come on Cuetec, give it a go!!!
