It was $950 when I bought it, just at tick over $1k now but still a great deal for a nice cue with a carbon shaft. I've had many cues that were more expensive, but this has become my favorite player ever.

I think they've mixed up stained and spalted!

do you look at your cue while you play?

Well, yeah, lol.

It also depends on the rules of the game- some rules regarding 8 ball pocketing / fouls on the 8 / etc. make not worrying about the 8 a bigger spot than opposing rules.

My 4 is easy to convert.... I'd want OEM if available. The only hiccup with drops is a 1P forgotten ball in a negative pocket....but not really a big deal. The other advantage with drops from the factory ...the table will be a few hundred cheaper.

Forgotten ball in a negative pocket?
Pay attention!
I know. After 4 hours of one pocket I can easily make a free shot beautifully into my opponents pocket. He'll say that that is his pocket. I usually say,
" time to put the old man to bed."
I've done it, you've done it, we've all done it except the guy that never missed with ball in hand. Yeah, right.

It's interesting when different games bring out talent you don't normally see.
Like when a regular pool room adds a snooker, 3 cushion, or Chinese 8 ball table.
Then you get exposed to talent that may live just down the street that would never come in otherwise.
Pretty cool.

I'll let You present an example!

I'll put the question to You!

"Do You Think/Know I'm hitting the CB 'Hard/Force' in my 3 examples"?

How big a spot would not having to sink the 8 be in 8 ball? Thoughts

Click to expand...

It depends on the level of player, I think. At heyball, women get to remove their last object ball and that's a very large spot. Often it's a problem ball that is tying up the opponent's ball. Maybe the "auto" 8 would be a little less spot than that.

So how does hard and or fast fit into a Force, Mass, and Acceleration or Deceleration equation? F= MA or D
F = MAD? Better call the Peace sign expert. Just kidding, hope I don't get sent to detention for getting smart like the high-school days.
