I just played in a local major over the weekend. Had the most break and runs I've had in a single event during that tournament. Played very well I thought.

I still didn't cash.

There are sooooo many other things to take into account other then just running out all the time.

H<------ drew the top 2 players early.

Did they steal one of Dr. Cue's tables for T1? No one can make anything on the break...

I recall on an Accu-Stats video someone said in a tournament in North Carolina that Earl Strickland broke and ran out from his break 30% of the time in the tournament. They thought that was amazing.

I've got 60-70 Accu-Stats DVDs from the Sands Regency Open in Reno to the US Open, both back in the 1990s. The B&R % is not all that great.

Earl was widely considered the best 9ball player in the world though, especially at that time. There were other top pros that couldnt do that... let alone amateurs.

Added an extension for the extra length.
Using a shim, eliminating the need to modifify (thread) the butt.
Extension is 2 inches. 2.1 ounces. Cue 20oz total.
I remove it for 1 pocket.

The extra adapters that can be used for other cues is a bonus.

This might be an option seeing how you did yours. Getting PVC or other material tubing that I can tap the threads into without having a lathe could work. Just need to work the OD to fit in the butt end which wouldn't be too hard. Have to checkout that Crical extension with adapters which might fit some of my other cues.

Thanks, this is worth pursuing further.

do the pros realistically have that many runnable racks every single time?

Thanks for the heads up! I put in an offer, so will see what happens.

I have a 3/8x10 and 5/16x14 Cuetec

Get out some for one and take a BIG break from here for TWO. What he's searching for is never going to come from here. Go do your own thing and turn off the internet for,say, 6months.

Take a Big break….. no pun right?
