Anyone who wants a cue from cuemakers with years long wait lists should come to SuperBilliardsExpo if possible. Josh Treadway, Eddie Cohen and many other well regarded cuemakers have new cues for sale on the spot. A phone call to a cuemaker right before SBE might be a way to hijack a cue meant for the show.

The glove is a baby move.
I take my pants off.

I don't really have an opinion on if it is a shark move or not. Context matters a lot. That said if something as simple as an opponent removing a glove can throw your game, acknowledge it, move on, and this becomes a great opportunity to practice and strengthen your mental game.

Unless they are making a production out of it or it's absolutely blatant, why would you be watching your seated opponent while shooting? I wish I had unfathomable depths of focus but I realize I'm better off shooting with tunnel vision instead of watching for nit like behavior from my seated opponent.

What if it's a hat?
Person always wears a baseball cap. So often, you wonder if they wear it to bed. Hill- hill, scratch on the break, off comes the hat and they set it on the table near their chair when they sit down.
Unsportsmanlike? Kicked off the island? It's not equipment?

if they never take a hat away before and take it when opponent is shooting game winning balls then it is shark move. You know it is...

I guess after enough combat that shee-at don't bother me.

Worst case, I stand up and let them settle down.
