The Tungsten set is on par with a Aramith premium poly-resin core with a phenolic shell. Not a great ball from a construction perspective but a great entry level set that you will get years of use out of before they need to be replaced.

Having said that I did play at a hall that used these balls in Maryland and their sets were rough, they did not deal with that level of use well at all.

But at $179 you could have gotten a set of Aramith Premier which has more phenolic resin or even a great used set of Super Pro's. I can't believe Dynasphere is charging that much for their basic ball now.

You may find this interesting. These were all one and done shots. I absolutely did not play the shot multiple times then pick the best one. No practice. No warm up. Get down and cut the ball in on the first attempt. Two of these videos are from a security camera the bar owner gave me access to.

Were you already on the list or did you just get on it with that initial conversation?

Im trying to get on it. We just emailed a few times and i told him what i was looking for and he gave a few ideas which i liked but then i havent heard from him. I don't have a phone number know any other way to get in contact with him. Im fine waiting a few years because that gives me some time to increases my budget to really get what i want.

really? It is called building up the drama for the made for TV event.

Curious position. If lots of pro pool players are going to make a decent living as pros, then pool needs more "made for TV events." It's not going to thrive with viewers only like us.

I know some fans on AZB like to put down this "made for TV" event, but the players sure are treating it seriously. Filler was absolutely thrilled to be invited back. He was following the Philippines Open closely while en route to Qatar and he knew exactly who needed to lose so he could get an auto invite.

Team Europe skipped the International and will practice in Scotland for a week. Sky says Team USA will try a new approach.

Other than a major final and semis, players will never face the same kind of scrutiny they receive at the Mosconi. Mere exhibition and "made for TV event" or not.

Quit here. Not getting back to you screw that.
A member here just got his 2nd Joss. Said the process was a quality one. The cues are 1st class... absolutely beautiful

I think that after an initial conversation with a cue maker, you are supposed to call back and say, "I've decided to order the cue we discussed for the price you quoted me, which was $$$$. Here are the specs I requested: ...."

Because if that was the first conversation then all you got was giving Josh a basic understanding of what you want and being put on his list it's gonna be a while before he calls you back....

Where did you get that interior for the case?
I have a 2x4 Zero Halliburton that (luckily) has been sitting empty for years and when I've opened it recently I discovered that the foam interior had disintegrated over the years from humidity.
Could be nice to revive it.

Anybody know what kind of money it took to attract all these older legends. AKA prize money

Fleming is trying to create a second DCC type event, but the prize money is anemic by comparison.
