I would love to make it out there one day but for now, the furthest I will ever go into long island for pool is Raxx and that's mainly because I have family there. And even getting to Raxx is a long trip as it is.

This is now off topic, but...

We do it the opposite. If you lose, you stay on the table and break the next game. Weaker players are out the door pretty quickly because they lose, and lose, and lose...

Yes, if you win you go back to the top of the list and do have to wait. You socialize. You watch matches. You know what you are in for when you choose to play. Then you get called to a table and immediately have to switch on for what is basically a hill-hill game. I think it is a real opportunity to test your game and your mental strength.

Finally, the tournament manager will rearrange the wait list to even out games, so there is no incentive to slow play. By the last few rounds (getting toward the money) everyone will have very close to equal games played.

It's not for everyone though.

I agree that most of the sales are for that reason. I've had a home table many times over the years, and they stay much cleaner with the Taom.

if the tip is delivered on-line and with proper speed what difference does it make how it looks? i've seen a LOT of 'pretty boy stroke' players come and go that couldn't play in crunch time. Allen was self-taught(got help from some greats as well) and could run 100 by the time he was 12-13yrs old. I'll take ugly and effective every time.

If you want another way to contribute directly, let me know and I can put you I touch with Alex’s guys that are running this.

I just received my new Mid-American pool cue lathe. I set it up and was cutting the tip off of an old house cue to practice. Two issues. First the cutting tool is wanting to back off a little from the tip unless I hold the wheel that moves it forwards and backwards. Second it is leaving a small tit in the center of the tip instead of cutting clean. I watched a bunch of videos before receiving this and I seem to remember one of them mentioning something about this tit but I can't find it now.

I appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks.
