Stats -- 2026 Buffalo's Pro Classic One-Pocket, May 2026

After this prestigious tournament ended, I hope this puts to rest Short Rack and Shot Clock conversation threads. These players with so many different styles and skill sets truly show how Fargo Ratings really don't mean that much in playing our favorite game. Evan is a fantastic player on full display.

Seeing the contact point on the object ball.

CG is mostly what this thread is. Contact Geometry.

Hyperexoexecution is a double positive I just coined to indicate (sarcastically) the process of unconscious execution. Playing music works well like that but I think not so much, pool. Pool has a significant element of hostility that cannot be ignored.

Ok. Yes, I do that in both playing music and pool. Both can be competitive but in pool I only got hostile when the other guy was being a dick or trying to psyche me. My revenge was to beat them soundly and show them they never had a chance. Other than that, I was just free stroking as much as possible. Mosconi did not talk about aiming systems in his little red book so I never learned one. Just seeing the contact point and the path of the CB post contact was enough. My physics training helped with the mechanical aspects.

I don't know if it was my math background or what but I never learned an aiming system for banks either. To this day, I just get down, glance at the target pocket out of the corner of my eye, return the the CB and when it feels right, drain it without seeking a contact point.

Looking for and extension solution

I have a cue that has a bumper and weight bolt system that is similar to Schon system, the bumper screws into the weight bolt.
The bolt is the same as Shon - 3/8-16.
The bumper itself is shorter than the Schon bumper and the cavity at the butt end is not as deep as the Schon's So using the Schon solution that I have from Budget Billiards won't work.
The bumper diameter is also a little bit smaller than the Schon's (25mm vs 25.4mm).

So I'm looking for a solution to add an extension for this cue.

I found this online, it looks like it might fit but it's a kit for making your own extension which I am not into doing or know how.

I haven't found something like that, that comes with an extension or a bumper that may take one of the extensions I already own.
I would also like to find a solution that does not add too much weight to it.

Any ideas on how get and extension for this cue?
It's not a main player so I don't want to spend too much money on this and I can use a slip on extension if I don't find a solution.

Another off-the-shelf solution is the 3/8-16 Tiger Extension. Thread their adapter in and buy their extension. They have several lengths, etc. It works. It’s not sexy.

I enjoy my Migliore, and I did fit it on my Schuler without altering the floating weight bumper design. But I have four or five cues now with his adapter, and because of the design (taper fit), one adapter fits all those cues.
