however sealing and waxing doesnt keep it slick. and will change with the temperature and humidity.
if the pores are a little open and they are in wood then some outside tiny particles will fill them in.
the chalk doesnt hurt it. may not look brand new anymore. and if that is what a person agonizes over then something else needs to be done.

Thanks for the input maha, I'm trying out the Tiger cleaner and sealer products on a cheap shaft from Doctor Billiards on eBay and will see how that performs.

By the way, I cleaned up the Tiger burnisher with soap/water and a fingernail brush. Only took a few minutes and it cleaned up very nicely. The texture of either side does not appear to be affected much.

Thank you all for your various inputs and suggestions!

Thanks for your responses. I started a new job and haven't been on here in a while! Appreciate the insights.

I nerd out on Amazon. Done.

Clearly one hole as it is loved wont do. Take a cue from cornhole - which actually draws. Put the thing in the hole. They will come.

Cumulative ball count. I believe that's what drives APA - not up on that I could be wrong. Still not a bad idea.
Anyway, strong chance of grass roots interest in what it's always been. Making shots. Playing position.

friend had his gas missing from his 5 gallon tank for lawn mower twice. i said add a bunch of sugar to it and leave it in the same place. sure enough it was empty a few days later. a few days after that he said the neighbor kid down the block had his engine seized up on his brand new car.
he said he was a nice kid and did not think it was him.

The only fair way to do it is lag for the break, race to 2 or 3, no loser side (or maybe 2 winners side 1 losers side). I love one pocket but the tournaments are brutal. It’s not a tournament game. I like bobs chess clock idea but what you gain in time you’re gonna lose with people arguing over forgetting to start the clock etc

use f&f for goods, and you are basically cheating paypal. so you deserve what you get if scammed. as you are a scammer yourself.

Hi 14oneman, the App works great on iPad in Landscape mode, I use it more often on my phone but like on my iPad too.
I programmed the App for IOS 18 and up and I don't think it will run on a lower IOS, sorry - but you can just try it out for free. Can't you update the IOS on your device?

Thanks for the reply!!!
Unfortunately, my iPad will not support an OS higher than the 12.? that it currently has…perhaps I will try it on my iPhone…

If two balls stick in the jaws, it's regular. Still amounts to buckets.

What break criteria are you using?

Interesting....and here I thought it was my lousy stroke...... Both 12.7 and 12.5 Rhino with original and aftermarket tips have done that WTF kind of miscue was that to me....similar with low left/right draw stroke.......seemes real easy to miscue....perhaps it is a great practice cue to kind of force you to stay closer to center........I like the hit with a after market tip installed....but still seems real easy to get that random miscue....I always thought it was just my lousy stroke....I never really get out and play anymore...just 20-30 minutes here and there and I leave the cue put together laying on the table........I am now curious and am going to go back to the P-314 for a while

Pockets bigger than the GC?

I'm sure you told us before, but I forget. What size pockets?

Click to expand...

GCIV - 4.5 corners & 4.75 sides.

Diamond Professional - 4.75 corners and 5" sides.

Having said this, that's measuring from point to point on the Diamond. Between the facings it's more like 4.65 corners and 4.85 sides.
