Forget DCP for a moment & what he asked for.

In my scenario where would you shoot the 1 ball?

Obviously, the corner, if we have only the position shown and no other restriction and have to make a ball.

But that's not what I would do if the shot shown was from a game of eight ball or straight pool or bank pool or one pocket.

(DCP clearly made a mistake when he didn't present the shot as a proposition shot: "How many tries do you need to cut the one in the side? How would you play it?" That's what he should have said to start with.)

Post all the pics and videos you like. I asked about this one. The ref told me that he did not see Justin touch the ball with his ferrule so he did not call a foul. Simple as that. If that's enough for you to dislike the format, go ahead.

I have been playing with a Zan tips (atm Zan Hybrid) for a decade or something like that. My playing regularity varies a lot, might play 3 days per week and then don’t have time to play at all for 1-3 months. Zan tips don’t seem to harden much over time, after a long break I just apply (Taom) chalk and no miscues whatsoever. I used to play with Kamui soft when they still were consistent but eventually they dried up and started miscueing if I wasn’t playing with them regularly. I change my Zan tip every 3 or 4 years.

Great experience.
I think almost everyone that plays layered tips has had problems with layers while shaping. Not good when it happens before a match.
Solid tips never separate when shaping.
There must be a thousand layered tips out there to choose from and they are expensive especially considering the install.
Triangles are about a buck apiece.

Jacoby has Black V4 and Ultra Pro shafts with 19" pro taper. Is that the maximum for any company?

I have 4 Jacoby Ultra shafts. Two were purchased with 30" length and the standard 12.75 mm, and one was a 29" 12.75 mm.
Also have one 30" at 12.5 mm that I had them custom make at the 12.5 mm when they were building it. The three that I purchased at 12.75 mm, I have taken all of them down to basically match the 12.5 custom shaft I got from them.
While Jacoby advertises a 19" pro taper, and some think that means the shaft is the same diameter for that 19", that would not be even close to what it really is. It may be for carbon shafts, but not for wood, and seriously don't think you would want a wood shaft that does not taper up for the first 12"-19".
Their pro taper for the 12.5nmm shaft is, Ferrule-12.5 mm, 2"-12.6 mm, 4"-12.7 mm, 6"-12.92 mm, 8"-13.05 mm, 10"-13.11mm, 12"-13.18 mm, 14"-13.24 mm, 16"-13.66 mm
So while a pro taper, it still gets progressively larger and probably at the 19" area probably gets larger faster.
