Predator Shaft Query

Actually there is no such thing as a carbon fiber plate when you have a ferrule, it's a pad, could be carbon, could be fiber, could be another material, but not a plate. I don't see anywhere where dendweller agreed you have a carbon fiber plate. You keep confusing words although I think you have a better understanding than before now.
As to your other question, if the carbon fiber pad wasn't damaged I would see no reason to remove it, you may end up cutting a couple thousandths into it when cutting the tip off but that would be it. If it was damaged and he felt it needed to be removed, he should have put a new one on before putting the tip on. Listening to you describe things, if I were the repair person, the only thing I would have asked you was what tip you wanted.

Lil John gets barbecued in Louisville KY

Liljon has always been about that action, not just playing, but betting high and keeping the energy alive. I’m not too familiar with JT, but Liljon? He’s the kind of player who will match up with anybody, anytime. Win or lose, Liljon is good action. He doesn't cry when he loses, and he's not a braggart when he wins.

Meanwhile, Keith the breaker was holding court at the 2005 Super Billiards Expo (SBE) action table in the below-depicted photo, and it turned into absolute chaos in the best way possible. Bets were flying from every direction, “I got $20 on the breaker,” “I’ll take $50 on the racker," nonstop chatter, nonstop action. It was almost comical to watch. Getting the bets down took longer than the 9-ball game itself. Keith held the table for an extended length of time, to the tune of 15 large.

The table was surrounded by all the usual action regulars, packed in shoulder to shoulder. Do you recognize any of them? Standing room only. And here’s the kicker. Railblrds were actually selling their chaits for $50 to those who wanted to sit and sweat the action. I’m not even kidding. Chairs were a rare commodity at the Action Table.

Only at the SBE. Nothing like it. The 2026 SBE started yesterday. I can't wait to read all about it.
