Way off topic, but I recently seen a Lambros CF shaft for sale. The special Lambros pilot is Wood. Maybe he cores it with maple to give it more of a wood like hit. No idea, but Lambros is the last cue maker that I ever thought woukd come out with a CF shaft. I bet he somehow made his own tube though, because the taper looked like a Lambros type of taper to me.

eventually, all cue makers will offer CF shaft as an option or as a standard or even the only option. It's the future.

Does Pete Omen (Ohman) still accept orders to have a custom cue built?

Photos are OLD don't judge too harshly. The balance. Alignment of every detail. All absolutely flawless. Pete is so underrated it's a joke.

With Joshua winning in Vegas, does Fedor's backers still want some?

The match had 15 games.
- Gorst was successful on 1 of 5 breaks, and he made the 1-ball in the side on the successful break.​
- Filler was successful on 7 of 10 breaks, and he made the 1-ball in the side on 5 of the successful breaks.​

Thank you, sir. The memory is often different than reality.

Clearly more than 0.

But also only 6 of 15 times the 1 was made in the side. Or 40% which in my estimation isn't great considering that's the only ball they were "aiming for" Breaking from the middle gives you AT LEAST 3 predictable balls both balls behind the 1 and the 4 railer that goes fairly often. Absolutely yes it's more predictable when using a template but the same can be said for any other break style as well.

Firstly, I never claimed ChatGPT was the holy grail or end-all-be-all. Obviously it makes mistakes and I do not use it for any research purposes, as I like to get my sources myself instead of relying on AI. I just asked it for fun to see what it would spit out.

Secondly, Fedor winning two World 9-Ball titles in itself already puts his resume above Filler. That is insanely hard to do, a feat only a few top pros have been able to achieve (Ouschan, Biado, Hohmann, Fong-Pang, Archer, and Strickland x3). Filler has 1. I do not find the World 8-ball title to be nearly as difficult to win as a world 9-ball title. They are both equal in World Pool Masters and US Open.

Thirdly, most of those east Asia tournaments won by Filler, Fedor was not able to travel and participate in, due to his country's dilemma. Filler was able to freely travel and compete in any tournament he wished, and was not held back by WPA banning Russian athletes.

Fourthly, I think it does matter that Fedor won a lot of his majors in one year, as that is a rare occurrence in pool and a feat only 2 other players have come close to achieving, Yapp and FSR, making them the best players of that year. It is a good way to gauge who was the better player for that specific calendar year.

and you don't think 3 x china opens, 1 x additional MR major, weighs up whatever difference you feel there is between a 9-ball and an 8-ball world championship? borrowing this list from insidesp.in's post in the harmonic field strength thread:

these are the most difficult tournaments on record. josh won china open 2017.

that fedor wasn't there some year isn't an argument, he's played several of them, 3-4 of the years that he could travel.

and yes, obviously it's rare and impressive to have a year like FSR or yapp. there's no discussion about that. but i think it's beside the point

Has anyone seen a set of these up close and have any further information? Presumably not manufactured by Dynaspheres...

They seem to be a Chinese market set, judging by the Chinese language written on the package security sticker. It's the red and white one with diagonal black lines and Chinese characters in the second picture with only the closed box.

If it's a Chinese market set, they could be anything. It's common for manufacturers here to use the branding of a famous company and then make their own design for anything. If you haven't seen them anywhere else and you've contacted Rasson Billiards already and no answer, then that's possible.

As far as the design, to me they look like Brunswick Centennials without the darts. I think it's kind of a classic design, looks good.

You should see if they're real though. If you don't care of they're "real", then you can hunt the platforms like Alibaba and see if you can stumble across them.

You are spot on. In this era of $10,000 Pool Cues, $3000 Cue Cases, 10 year waiting list for a Southwest and $8000 BarBox Pool Tables a $85 book just cant be called out of line??? I mean if you learned on shot that you didn't know, it might be the shot that won the Money. When Tony was hear he gave lessons to some of my Friends and what he showed them was invaluable.

So for everbody saying that you need his stroke or his ball pocketing ability to learn from the book, your WRONG! Some of the shots you just have to know there in front of you, recognize them and practice them,.

Tts $85 dollars to make your investment in your $2000 dollar Cue with the $70 dollar Tip and the $500 Case and all the per hour table time pay off.

Except there's this law of supply and demand which has blown up out of control because consumers wont exercise and enforce their part. As it is now, First you supply, then you demand. _<THAT>_ is the defacto function.

Every business move is another good opportunity for somebody to raise.

Runde Schon

Bavafongoul
I felt like you for two decades and cherish the cue Bob built for me…..twice. And then I played with a Scruggs ivory joint cue that was lighter with ivory ferrules and flat joint vs. 5/16x14 piloted steel and Micarta ferrules. That cinched the deal for me.

I’d never sell my Runde Schon because of its history connected to Bob’s reluctance to build customer designed cues. I found the Scruggs hit softer, easier to control cue ball speed & the acoustical sound of my stroke was pleasing. It had a higher ping sound because of the ferrules. Anyway, you could tell when your cue ball speed and sound of your stroke were in synch. In contrast, my Runde Schon (20.4 ozs) plays like a bulldozer whereas my Scruggs seems more like a sports car (18.5 ozs). If I reposition my grip on my Schon’s wrap, it plays sweet. The balance is more neutral. I wonder at 19 ozs. how it would play?

Hell, I just paid $90 to have 2 new tips put on a couple of shafts. $85 with videos, seems a bargain for some T-rex thinking so inbound it is. Will make a nice addition to my Robbin’s books.
