This field is so strong that not even 10ball last and poor commentary can scare me away.

There are, however, two big positives.

1. 10ball with no shootouts is the way I like it.
2. The pockets are a bit looser than those found in WNT majors, and that's a good thing. It makes the game more exciting to watch.

I don't think we will see a Cinderella story here. Too many world-beaters.

Good luck to all these fine players.

I've put the newer pockets in an old red label Diamond Professional and they fit fine.

The only thing I dislike is holding a razor for machining.Everything else looks solid.

When the guy first bought the storage locker .... I bought some of the lock kits for $12.00 shipped. I sold all but one and wish I had 100 more.

What a character he is.

We've got 3 of them. Have put various Ultraskins on them and never had one come off. I don't play with them much anymore though. I use Loctite also. While not a professional cue guy, I do have a cue lathe and have probably put 75 or so tips on, mostly Ultraskins, or lately some Triangles, and have only one come off. Turned out the ferrule was loose and I didn't catch it.
Maybe they are miscuing a lot or possibly not taking care of the cue and it is falling down on a concrete floor. Our Monday night league with 48 players and concrete floors, I hear cues fall and slap the floor 2 or 3 times every night. My teammate knocked mine down one night and took a bit to get the embedded grit out of the shaft. I don't stand mine next to hers anymore.

I think david howard was the best breaker that ever lived. even better than bubusti.

You might be right. But that was a time when the goal was hit them as hard as you can and squat whitey in the middle. David probably averaged two balls on his 9 ball break. His breaks hurt your ears.

FYI — just uploaded a new training video with 65 pool safeties.
It’s basically a full catalog of defensive patterns you’ll see in real 9-ball and 10-ball matches.
Pause, set them up, and see how many you can master — or find the ones that give you the most trouble.
Curious to hear what other AZB members think!
