How much does a table cost to relevel?? A 1200lb Daimond table is not going to be effected by a 175lb guy standing on it for one minute.

"A 1200lb Daimond table is not going to be effected by a 175lb guy standing on it for one minute" >>> only takes a second. And if they step on a rail...The rail is bulletproof?

Let's try this... is it inappropriate? If it was yours would you enter the person dancing on the table ...America Has Talent or Dancing With The Stars?
Anyway...no chance the cloth can get damaged? None right?

My friends son had his friends over...tells me one guy got up the table and what would I do? Aside from paying for any damage he'd never be allowed back to that room.

Seriously if the owners don't mind and the crowd loves it ...WTF.

The great debate continues.........

Tascarella Cue

The main forum is for anything pool related so this thread more than meets that requirement. The seller may not get as many prospective buyers to view this thread in this Forum versus the For Sale Section where most people browse for cues for sale. So he may not get the viewings he’d otherwise enjoy but this thread is nonetheless pool related, IMO, so it’s his choice.

Where do you draw the line?

OP has 4 separate threads listing this cue for sale.
OP has 5 separate threads listing another Tasc for sale.

Posting in the main forum may have been an oversight...or not.

Tascarella Cue

Tascarella cues are ALWAYS for sale somewhere- I see a new one for sale several times a month- not rare at all! I would also say that at $3500 for a Plain 4 point cue - it absolutely should play as good as all that money will buy- not a knock- just stating that when one is going $2500+ for plain 4 pointers; the expectation of superior playability just has to be there.

I am a long time woodturner and have probably the best wood lathe made, Robust.
Even with that it's hit or miss a bit when using a wood lathe to drill with. You may get lucky with yours, probably not. The odds of your drill bit being centered are remote at best, close, usually, but centered like a machinist lathe, probably not.
Best you can do is when bringing up the tailstock is to experiment drilling by pushing on the drill chuck forward or backward first before tightening it down. That doesn't solve if up or down is off. Also few wood lathes have a center bore big enough to put a shaft in.

A tradition? Sure… if we’re calling every copied celebration a tradition and I guess every tradition has a starting point when it was first done. It’s not something with deep roots in pool history. Feels more like “monkey see, monkey do” than genuine culture. I suspect a lot of it is promoter driven, meant to hype things up for TV and pull in casual fans who know little about the game’s heritage. When Fedor Gorst climbed on the table after winning the world championship last year, he looked reluctant, as if it wasn’t his idea. I’m not big on being told how to celebrate or even what to do especially when it’s “F”-ing silly and it’s even sillier when you are copying or being told to do it. I guess when the promoters are handing you a $250,000 check you might feel obligated. Golfers jumping in ponds or football Gatorade baths aren’t disrespectful to the very equipment the game is played on.

The equipment is a inanimate object that cant be disrespected, we who love the game regard it as more, but its just a table. I think it seems a little rehearsed but, no harm no foul.

The sport needs juice even ifs a little silly looking, if it reminds someone whos watching of the Nascar drivers standing on top of their cars maybe they'll tell someone about and we'll gain a new fan...,

Deflection question, explain how a stiffer CF shaft has less deflection.

Stiffness does matter. The original 11.8 mm Revo was flexible and deflected a lot. The newer version is much stiffer and has close to zero deflection.

My theory is that because as shaft flexes it will push the cue ball offline in the opposite direction before it completely leaves the tip. If you've ever hit with an old graphite shaft you can really feel this flexing and increase in deflection

If you have an original 11.8 mm Revo. Try grabbing it at the joint and tip and flexing it. Very flexy vs 12.9 or newer 11.8 revo
