@skor
here is another perspective
yes carbon fiber has its pros you listed many of them
it also has its cons
primary or a common criticism
lack of feel
wood has its pros
primary or a common positive is feel
so a hybrid gives a nice blend of the durability and consistency (and power transfer)
of carbon from the most important front part of the shaft
and the feel from the wood in the back
also regarding do we need more power
my thoughts are
if you can swing softer which is usually more accurate to generate more distance or draw when needed compared to wood alone
isnt that better?
to me
my answer would be yes

Thanks and I have to agree. I've recorded very little in my life, however, and don't intend on starting now

When you had the 2 balls at the bottom of the table where you had to cut one in the right corner and hold the CB, and cut the other in the left corner.
The shot before that where you had length of the table into the top left corner and went 2 rails for shape.

I looked at that and I was like, feather the 11 and hide behind the 11. Although you're probably a 90+% favorite to make the 13, I just didn't know about shape.

"We are set for the Reyes Cup being on the 15th to the 18th of October," Frazer told ESPN. Those dates are set, however the venue is still to be confirmed."

The Reyes Cup will be followed by the second Philippines Open, staged from Oct. 20-24. "I hope it will be at the Gateway 2 Mall," Frazer said. "

I can't believe ESPN wrote an article on this, but the writer is a stringer in the Philippines. The article was certainly for local consumption.

In any case, the Philippines Open will only partly overlap with the Qatar Open.

Last year, the first five days of the Qatar Open were qualifiers for lesser ranked players. The main action involving all the seeded players took place in the final four days.

The Qatar schedule allowed some players who already qualified for the Qatar Open via WPA rankings to play in both the Philippines and Qatar events. That's because the final stage of Qatar started two days after the Philippines Open finished.

If the Reyes Cup is Oct. 15 to 18, it would suggest the Hanoi Open would run from Oct. 6 to Oct. 11. That's based on how it worked out last year.

If so, the Hanoi Open for the first time could include Filler and all the best male players.

That leaves the Peri Open, a four-day event. Best bet is probably Sept. 30 to Oct. 3, starting three days after the WPA/Predator 10-ball event ends.

Some top players might attend the Predator doubles tourney in Bali and miss Peri. SVB played in the doubles event last year, for instance.

Hanoi would start three days after Peri and just one day after the Predator doubles event.

Delivery and installation is complete. I've only shot around about a minute because I am hungry and then need to run to Walmart and get some stuff so I don't have to go tomorrow. Might get to play on it later tonight.

The install took about 4.5 hours. Alot of good stories shared. Including the one about the bank robbery. Anyway, attached are some pics for verification for those that were in doubt.

I had never seen the cloth sprayed/glued before. Interesting to see that done. If you look close you can see DIAMOND engraved into the rails.
