i can go for that as its a reasonable option and proof. as long as each player can ask for it.

i also say when gambling that we dont call double hits if you jack up. its the same for both of us and no arguments.
comes up alot in one pocket as bunting balls close together comes in .

actually over the years ive had many tips and after shooting with them for a short time they all are just fine.
thats me you might be more particular and so be it. we are all different.

i play with many different sticks, balls, etc, tables. and just adjust to them even if i dont like them. its all the same for both parties.

and its true most very good players just care for a hard tip or a medium one. not a certain brand.
all i care if it holds chalk.

Thanks for reading the lengthy post in the hybrid shaft thread. If you're curious about what I'm building and the advancements I believe I've come up with please call me pretty much any evening. 610.605.7318 is my cell number. I'll happily discuss my project. This weekend I'm at the Super Billiards Expo, in and out but certainly didn't hesitate to call. Have a terrific evening.

ive had lots of different tips but one thing ive found on all of them, the ball seems to go in the direction the tip hits it.

and almost all of the 700 plus players i know have no idea what brand of tip is on their multiple shafts. so i cant find out what a good tip is that makes you play well.

That's a weird response...
I'm not a 700 player and I don't know who are those weird players that you know... but I can feel a difference in feedback and performance between tip as I'm sure you can as well and so any other semi decent players.

wouldn't you like to know the tip that feels and perform better for you and make sure to continue using it? I know that I would.

the world is one where apa organizes tournaments. it wasn't true doub elim. in the winners bracket final it was all or nothing. the loser is out and does not get a chance in the losers bracket. so nobody wanted to play the team that was stacked with 3 players over 650 fargo. they wanted to go to the losers bracket where there was also a trip to vegas that was way easier to win (one on the winners side and one on the losers side). on the winners side it was an almost guaranteed loss against the stacked team...

my team (who was the second best team in the entire league other than the stacked team) got to be the lucky "winners" to get to the final of the winners bracket because nobody wanted to be there. even though our team is good it was really no match. fargo stats put us at about a 9 percent chance of winning. so we only had one loss and then out of the tournament. every other team got to take a loss and go to the losers bracket but us.

It was by far the dumbest playoffs I've ever played in.

I should add the team that dumped on us did in fact go on to win the trip to vegas on the losers bracket. so yeah

If you're speaking in FargoRate language, you shouldn't even be in an APA league. Quit, and go gamble.

in the pool room...

an opponent would arrange to get a cell phone over the balls and film the shot. Personally, I don't make my opponent initiate a filming, I ask for it myself. Pro refs should be able to do the same thing.

Yes. The joints are wood. The brown caps protect the wood female end. Wood joints are pretty unique to custom cues

I've seen a couple of 'em and the propellerhead in me thinks they 1) preserve as much wood 'feel' as possible and 2) are milled backwards for strength.

Other than that they look funny.

Pardon my English but most nicknames are gay as f'k

I agree

yea maybe that's true. i do see a use for them though. guys like wojciech szewchzyk, konrad juzszyzcsyn and hsieh-somethingchinese sure could use nicknames

in the pool room good luck saying it was a foul because the cue ball went thataway. sure maybe it was but you aint getting paid.

only if before the shot you came to an agreement or if a ref was there he told you what had to happen.

since the ref was there and made no call it was a legal shot according to the rules. game over.
