Why did I miss the ball? Did my aim fail, or was it my mechanics?

This practice routine unmasks everything period! Straight shooting,stance and stroke and will improve your game. You'll see automatically what you're doing wrong. Pot the ball with a stun, follow to make both balls and a draw shots. It'll show if you're putting any side on the ball and how good your stroke is.

Tony/Skyler trivia question

That might have been before One-Pocket games were included in FargoRate (I forget when that started). And, regardless, Mike might not have had access to DCC match scores then (rather than just who won the match), other than from a few streamed matches like that one.

Yes, both. That was before we were including one pocket games and game scores were generally unavailable. Still, that we're now at 11-0 for matches we're aware of is pretty striking.

Incidentally, we would only input score for a streamed match if either we decided in advance the score would go in or we had access (perhaps from someone like you) to scores for all streamed matches for an event. Otherwise there is a selection bias. People in general only alert us to their score for something that's not in if they think it will boost their rating.

Vegas

These days your are correct. We went the last 2 years for acs and apa nationals . I used to love Vegas but I don’t need to go back. I know prices are insane everywhere but Vegas is out right stealing from people and I just can’t justify any of it. There is no value for the money that you’re spending. The only good time we had when we were there was Fremont st. That felt like old Vegas. If you haven’t been there for .. .sure . It’s a crazy experience unlike anywhere in the country but I’ve been a dozen or more times and this last time was enough.
My Wife and Daughter want to go. I could live without it. It will likely be a one and done for me.

CF infused Torrified shafts.

No. CF tube/rod down the center. That's what Oscar said and he uses that shaft. They aren't weaving cf fabric between the plys. Near impossible to do.
I doubt it's a tube. Company says it contains "carbon fiber material". That would be a very odd choice of words for a tube, which is a pretty established technology. This wording sounds like something you'd write if you wanted to use the word "carbon" but there's not much of it/doesn't really do much. The price difference between just kielwood and "carbon infused" kielwood is $30, which further suggests it's a minimal add on

GO - CUSTOM Snooker (10mm) Review

I have had this cue for a couple of months now. Wanted to give it good use before posting review. I got the full cue (butt and shaft).

Specs (which is what I ordered):
Butt: 29.5 in/16oz
Shaft: 29.5 in/4.1oz/10mm/ZAN Hybrid Max (my favorite tip)
Balance point is 19 in

Fit and finish:
Cue came almost exactly as I specified. Only 1oz difference in total weight, so pretty darn good.
Cue is more of a matt black color with maybe just a little grayish tint.
Shaft is slick. Very similar feel as my Revo 12.9
Shaft (also carbon fiber) has no wrap. Slick, but not to the point it slips in the hand (my opinion).

Performance (IMHO):

Although it has been stated zero deflection, I think most of us know that is not really possible. However, I will say it has the least deflection of any shaft I have used and that includes my Revo 12.9. Almost, but not quite "point and shoot".

I think the feel is the best of any carbon fiber shaft I have used and I have tried a lot of them.

Moves the cue ball with ease. No issue to me with the smaller tip size. Although I haven't tried everything out there, it does it better that anything I have owned.

Only downside is the small (10mm) tip diameter. You need to be really accurate. At first I didn't think I was going to keep it, as my shot making wasn't as good with my Revo. However with continued practice it is at least as good now. Think it is making me concentrate more, which I should have been doing anyway.

Will this be a long term player for me? Time will tell, but if my accuracy continues to get a little better, it will.

If you like carbon fiber shafts with really small diameter, you should at least try out this cue if you can.
How goes it with the 10mm GO custom? You were using it for pool?
