Lathe wanted

Bought a Mid America basic repair lathe first to do just that. I'm the type of guy that likes to do my own thing, and there was nothing local available. Great lathe for its purpose. But then as usually happens, I wanted to do more, and without a big bore headstock the basic repair lathe was limited so I purchased their professional version one. Back when i bought my Basic Repair lathe they were cheaper, think I paid 700 something, when upgrading I had many offers to buy it, ended up selling it to a friend for $500 even though I had better offers from others, as he was a friend and I didn't have to ship it. Cost justifiable for what I use it for, probably not, but priceless in the enjoyment I get from it.

What's the point in all the strategy that only delays losing. It's pool not chess. It's not even close to chess. The only strategic game more inane is 9 ball banks.

Nothing personal Jam.

Well, you are not delaying losing — you are looking for the mistake or shot that lets you back in the game.

I learned a long time ago that it only takes a bank or two, or a scratch by your opponent that lets you back into the match. Suddenly after a mistake or good shot that big deficit don’t look so big… to either guy.

Bulletproof CF shaft.

Shafts round and wound CF.jpg

If you see a seam on your shaft it is not filament wound, all of the Becue shafts I own are filament wound, it makes a difference,
Sounds like it has different tows woven together. 3k gives you the flex.
Wheat State cuemaker's comments on wound versus rolled carbon fiber shafts:

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ROLLED AND WOUND CARBON?​
-Rolled and wound carbon are made using a different process. There's no "better". Most companies use rolled carbon. Mine are custom made for me to my exact specifications, taper, and flex level, which is a crucial aspect as most carbon shafts are too stiff. -ROLLED is dark gray in color like most and transfers a hair more energy than wound. -WOUND is dark, shiny black and can have some visual grain type patterns in the carbon. Wound transfers a hair less energy than rolled, but it is a hair more smooth in your hand.​
DOES THE WOUND VS ROLLED CARBON TYPE CHANGE DEFLECTION?​
-No, I have designed both carbon types to have the exact same taper, wall thickness, weight, etc.​
In photo, the wound shafts are probably the ones on the right and two from the right.

Dynasphere becomes the official ball set for Matchroom WNT - Multi-year partnership

Ultimate Pool and Matchroom both using the same ball suppliers and cloth now. Interesting they've both made the same moves. Wonder if it's because they are genuinely good products, or just companies offering them good financial terms. I suspect the latter, but don't really have experience of the equipment to judge it so I may be being unfair
It's obviously all about money. The colours of the new ball set is awful. I thought they learned that lesson back in the Cyclops days..
