Actually there is no such thing as a carbon fiber plate when you have a ferrule, it's a pad, could be carbon, could be fiber, could be another material, but not a plate. I don't see anywhere where dendweller agreed you have a carbon fiber plate. You keep confusing words although I think you have a better understanding than before now.
As to your other question, if the carbon fiber pad wasn't damaged I would see no reason to remove it, you may end up cutting a couple thousandths into it when cutting the tip off but that would be it. If it was damaged and he felt it needed to be removed, he should have put a new one on before putting the tip on. Listening to you describe things, if I were the repair person, the only thing I would have asked you was what tip you wanted.

give me one reason to believe there is throw

when one of the foremost pool instructors tells us, and demonstrates that the earth is flat.

then dave comes along out of no where, and tells us that pool balls throw,
and of course his side kick bob agrees with him, whose only accomplishment is he beat the best in the world at pool.

just who are we going to start believing.

I'll stick to the Pagulayan, by the time I'll go through the 4 pieces that I have, we'll probably have new tech that does not requires chalk...

So Efren makes 15 signed up? Or is it filling out more?

Those reserved seats are nearly sold out.

You've allready kind of messed up here by leaving the 3. This means it won't be a stop shot pattern probably. The 3 is a worthless ball in this scenario. I might shoot it first, if you are close to straight in in the diagonal lower pocket, with low left trying to get straight in on the 7 again. Then 7, 4, 1, 15 and then 10. The 1 guarantees a nice angle on the 15 to get nicely on the 10. Otherwise the pattern wouldn't be any good. The position on the 10 is a lot more forgiving than the illustration shows, I just didn't want to mess up the picture too much.

If you don't have that angle, there are still a couple of patterns here, none of which are foolproof and all of which will vary according to the exact angle you get on the balls. To me, the 3 ball is the big joker here. It hasn't really got a good ball leading to it, and it does not easily lead to any other ball without perfect position. You see, the 7 leads to the 4 and the 1 leads to the 15, which in turn leads to the 10. The only ball that gives sort of natural position to the 3 is the 15, but then you have to get a very good position on the 3 to get to the 10. You see the problem? If you shoot the the 15-10-3 as your last three, you have a terrible key ball.

I saw a video by Tor Lowry that had SVB Vs Bustamante playing Kick-Safe. I was wondering if this game is being played much by others, and if this game can be played with more than two players other than in teams?
It seems interesting enough and looks like it can really test your kicking ability.
