Does anyone know what happened with the bridge in the KZ vs Jamin match yesterday? KZ picked up the bridge. Looked at it funny. Tried a shot. Missed badly and then fouled lifting it off the table. After the game she said something to the ref and he took the bridge away. It cost KZ a game and was never in the match after that. Shame.

She missed a lot of 8 balls over the two matches of hers that I watched too. Hurt her more than the bridge.

How to stop wood shaft warping.

Yes shafts can warp because of humidity. Moisture also exacerbates other causes of warping that you have no control over including the proper aging process or lack there of before & during manufacturing process. Shafts also can have grain pattern stresses some of which can be hidden and over time they will warp. Cue makers mitigate these reasons with their wood selection and manufacturing processes. Control you have is keeping the shafts straight with proper storage out of the sun and mitigating extreme temperature changes, There are stories of people keeping cues in their cars with absolutely no problems but why take the chance.

It helps if you don’t leave a cue leaning against the wall for years also. A reformed hustler/bar owner I knew left an ignored Balabushka leaning in the corner of his office. When I pulled it out to examine, it was like the trick cue from the ‘Shot in the Dark’ movie!

How to clean wood shaft after every use?

I’m a little hesitant to admit this but I’m thinking I can’t be the only one. The only thing I clean my cue shaft (carbon or wood)with, is my untucked shirt tail. If I’m using anything else, it’s probably because I made a mess while eating or drinking. [emoji15]

You are not the only one.



I use your untucked shirt tail, too.

Chezka beat the snot out of Kelley Fischer in their long challenge match a couple years ago. I was probably one of the only one's on here that picked her to win.

Even then, I suspect Chezka had the higher Fargo. I had no idea they even played. Still, in my post, I commented that Chezka has a long way to match the title counts of her contemporaries, especially Han Yu and Siming Chen, but let's not forget Rubilen Amit, Rebecca Chou and several others. Kelly is 21 years older than Chezka, so she's from the previous generation of great female cueists.
