I am not fond of these balls. They absorb energy more so than transferring it.

Same reason why CNC cues look perfect. Perfectly even points, perfectly even everything. Would be even easier for Graphic / Decal cues to look perfectly even, right? Or, am I just a fool? I guess I am. These Graphics really fooled me. I am just an idiot, lol. Whatever the case, it seems like a high quality cue. It is very old, and it is still dead straight. They must have done something right.

Even CNC points can be uneven. If the cue is turned even slightly off center after the points are glued in, they will be uneven. CNC does not automatically equate to rounded tipped "inlaid" points.

Dude, do yourself a favor and go watch some cue making videos on YouTube. Studiotronics... Bob Dzuricky... Countless others. Also, get yourself a cheap magnifying glass. You don't need it to be able to tell those are real spliced points. But you'll be able to tell what's a decal or real wood.

I have to agree here. I have a custom "Drip" Becue on order, will put it in the Cue Gallery when I receive it next week. They play super solid, have little or no maintenance and the paint jobs are fantastic. Plus, they all play identically.

The call looked correct. I don't feel the cue ball went back to the rial. The ref was where he should have been, because adjudicating the foul on a jacked-up shot was the top priority here. Obviously, the way the shot turned out, it would have been better if the ref had been positioned elsewhere, but hindsight is 20/20.

I'm with you on this.

I clicked on the video expecting to see a bigger issue than what is here. His priority was the tree-topping over the ball. He has no idea whether there will be a close call on a rail hit at the other end, and he can't be in two places at once anyway. And it seems obvious to me that there was no rail after contact and the players seem to readily agree.

Search in forum section using “surgical tubing “ check Bob Jewett or 3kushn post/thread..for size and where to buy. Or PM me your mailing address and I might mail you one to try out. If you can’t find a source.

It took AZBilliards eleven pages to discuss the Pristine shaft; two posts reviewed it --- reviews by GideonF (he posted above) and Icon of Sin (copied here).

Pristine and Meucci's Carbon Pro shafts are probably the only two carbon fiber shafts that include wood. See photo below of a Pristine shaft during its production (from Instagram video with link at post #45). See Pristine's advertisement below about its "real wood energy pathway".

Is Randy still making cues?
You could ask him.

Maybe in some 'Local' Bullshit 3C events in US!

In 'International; 3C' events, the table mechanics in many instances literally finish clothing the tables an hour before the tournament starts!

3C cloth is Very slippery when New, the balls 'Slide/Spin/Curve/ more than the speed of the CB moving forward!

K. I buy that. lol...

If this were introduced to pool, many players (myself included) would need to clean up their language.

“FFS, make the ball”
“Nice shot, a-hole”

(Both self directed)

Now that you say that, it might work in a fun way with a bar pool team event.... with the sounds of gurgling beer/bs, women chatter and such.
