I watched a live stream of an 800 Fargo rate player, competing in a $20 weekly tournament, recently.

Happens all the time in NYC! It's one of the nice things about living in a major metro area. They'll just randomly drop by and play our local tournaments, both handicapped and unhandicapped.

Francisco Bustamante just dropped by a couple weeks ago and took down one of the open ones. Here's me "beating" (aka shitting in the 9 ball a few times 😂) Moritz Neuhausen a couple years ago in a $80 handicapped tournament: Login to view embedded media
Just in the past two years, I've played 4 players that were rated 790+ just in these tournaments, and I don't even go to that many of them.

Besides the joy of DIY, is there a benefit over a ready product?
I’m sure that there are some cheap ready products out there just for tip replacements.

Do you need it for personal use or are you planning to offer repair services?
For personal use, you can just do it by hand.
If you’re going to offer repairs, then you might want to consider a pro lathe that can do more than tip as you’ll probably grow into that direction and it’s cheaper to get the right tool from the beginning

This is just for personal use. Since I already have half of the parts, for $100 it is worth just making it. I will use it about once or twice a year.

The only reason I am making it is because I have a lot of motors with nothing to use them for. It would be a shame to keep letting them all sit there.

Maybe add a dial indicator to make sure the shaft is true in the pillow bearing? 5/8" collet in a 5/8" bearing should be pretty close though.

What are you going to mount all of this to? Aluminum extrusion should work pretty nicely if you don't have something already planned.

I'm interested to see how it turns out.

Yes I mentioned I need one, though I called it a dial caliper. Indicator seems to be the more common word.

I have a piece of 80/20 I can use. I just need the mounting hardware.

Majid wins third straight, London’s Finest Pool’s Summer Open 10-Ball event

azhousepro
We decided to take a trip to London that didn’t involve actual travel this past weekend (Sun., June 14), to see how the Brits do things when it comes to their regional tournament structure. We are, after all, AZBilliards, with an emphasis on the full alphabetical spectrum of the worldwide pool community. And while we can’t be everywhere, we do like to ‘get out of the house,’ once in a while, to take a look at what’s happening in other, distant neighborhoods. The first thing we found out, possibly limited to this one event, was that this particular tournament organizer […]
