It's not cheap, but you can get a longer joint protector to make the butt as long as normal cues: https://www.ebay.com/itm/389521451878

If you have a cue maker near you, you can probably get one made cheaper.

What was the "mistake"? You (presumably) made a legal shot and missed. That isn't a mistake. Incoming players turn.

One of the dumbest bastardized rulesets ever was those couple of events they had with that kneejerk absurd call shot call safe crap. Good thing it went away quick.

The mistake was the missed shot. In this example, it was not my intent to rattle the ball in the pocket, and let’s say my cue ball speed was off and I snooker it behind a group of balls unintentionally.

Yes, it was technically a “legal” shot but my application of spin/speed/aim was executed incorrectly, so I should not be rewarded (if playing competitively).

Interesting how folks have such a strong aversion to call shot/call foul. Why should one not be punished for not executing the shot/leave they planned/intended? Speaking for competitive play, not for casual play or entertainment.

I haven’t read all the posts on Savannah and I want to make one last comment or suggestion. Walk away from the table for a period of time. Find something else to do with your time. Clear your head then come back to the table and don’t analyze each and every move. Line up and stroke the ball. Get your brain and your parents out of your game. Then pace yourself. Stop trying to play in every tournament day in and day out.

I am at a retirement community where the experienced players (one is a 102-year-old claiming blindness) hate jump cues. I leave the Cuetec Propel at the pool tables. I put a sticker on it telling users to return it here. No one's stolen it yet. I leave it there so that anyone can use it and to prevent anti-jumping-crowd complaints.

Yep, the Johnny Archer classic in 2012 used those jacked up rules, it was pathetic.

Any chance you remember seeing anything on pricing? I'm wanting to list this soon, but I don't want to be wildly wrong on either side.

Here's where I saw it: https://www.carousell.sg/p/predator-samsara-se-vcut-16-points-pool-cue-1113829784/

If that price is accurate for what it sold for, I'd guess yours would be $2500 or so.

i've played it in sparring and it could have its place there as a variance, but i don't think it should be the mainstream rule

Why? A little more thought goes into it.
Do you ever play one pocket?

Yes, pool is dead. There were only 11,000 or so players in Vegas last week. That's merely enough to populate a small down. And Griff's didn't have a table to rent nor could I sign up for the tournament because it was booked. Might as well take up disc golf.

What do you guys use to store your short cue. I don't want to take up a slot in my hard case for it because it so short but I don't want to be bring it in by hand either. Anyone sell a separate case that you can strap/ or hook on to your existing case? If it's worth anything I have the cuetec Propel Jump cue.

And you know you're in the super minority. I look at 30 teams in a place and everyone is drinking pitchers of water and the cheapest appetizer.

Eh most of the teams in our in house league buy at least a bucket of beer and a couple orders of food. But we have a lot of people with disposable income.

I usually buy a few beers but rarely food.
