throne3 is a re-used design from the 5k4 cue. aside from the butt cap it looks nice.

I'm super tempted by a couple of the sneaky petes! Its just $150 more than the price of a Revo alone, for the butt and the Revo.

The prices are for wooden shafts, Revo is $140 more

I can't watch Mike Davis long enough for him to hit the cueball

in one 14.1 event they had mike davis, allen hopkins and oliver ortmann playing after one another on the tv table. an exhibition of unorthodox styles (that somehow works)

i haven't checked but i would be shocked if they weren't full length on wnttv

Don't forget the market shrinks even more with 9' tables too because people cant accommodate them and a lot of people flat old don't want a big table.

They do take more room than many realize, especially if you don't want to play with a short cue.

Not Tiger….he said there were only two golfers who owned their swings….Ben Hogan and Moe Norman.

Yup saw the interview where he said Norman was the most consistent ball striker he had ever seen.

It’s a tough watch lol

Cash up front. Sounds familiar.

On Cue.

Did you know everything on this page is bidextrous?

... I was looking for Reyes Cup matches to watch and could not find anything but highlight reels. As it turns out NONE of the full matches were recorded!??? wtf???? ...

It seems that all of the matches are available on wnttv,com but you have to subscribe.

Also, I didn't see a search function or index, so I had to scroll down about 10 pages to find it.

op clearly posted the dates he was looking at. what/where is this ' 1 on 1' event??

Need a victim! I’m driving from Mobile Alabama the week before , gonna take my time getting there so anyone ready for some Action I’m your Huckleberry

jasonlaus said:

Why should the pros get to start in the $$$ rounds? If I might have to play Fedor in round 1 why shouldn't Shane?

There's a few notoriously slow players every year - Hennesy for 1, just ban them, give them a warning and then boot them from the entire event, all disciplines

Yeah that idea of fast forwarding players based on the past or perceived skill or reputation or frankly any other reason is among the very worst ideas I’ve ever heard.

Canadian cue said:

Many varieties of phenolic, I prefer canvas based for inserts. Quite robust but not as hard as fiberglass based phenolic or G10.

Click to expand...

I prefer XX/paper on my torrified maple shafts.
Canvas is rough on the radial taps and live threader.
Canvas is good for one-piece ferrule tip breaker and collars and caps though.
Just like any material now, you also have to pick the best pieces if possible. Not all phenolics are the same..I find garolite and ebay pieces hit and miss.
Regular maple don't really need inserts for big pins unless you use G10 imo.
G10 eats woods as mentioned by DB.
If i need a light screw, I use titanium.

How can the breaker decide to let his opponent break?

They would both be there until closing time with the first rack still intact?

Click to expand...

Maybe the rules say the winner of the lag/flip decides who should break?

If so, I think the next breaker is determined by the standard break order rule of the event -- winner, alternate, ...

I have noticed about 4-6 shots that encompass most of the game: the spot shot, the long rail cut shot, the straight shot, the long rail back-cut shot, the frozen rail cut, the forward bank, and back-cut bank. Various forms of these 6 basic shots, at varied angles and lengths, comprise the entire game nearly.

Well, this may well be (that it seems this way to me I mean) because I still haven't learned these 6 shots! LOL
