I am watching Tevez-Bijsterbosch and didn't remember how good they both are. Very fast and fluid game. Maybe one of them to the final!

I haven't read most of the post so I don't know if this have been mentioned. Years ago I played on Gray cloth in a pool room and kind of liked it.
On TV though, it looks horrible, almost to the point of making it unwatchable. Why have they chosen gray cloth?

Funny you mention this, I'm watching table 2 and holy crap does it look dull in there. Even a coworker of mine, who is not into pro pool was wondering why it seemed like everything was washed out. He even said, "I thought pool was played on a green cloth with colorful balls, why are they playing on this?"

Earl is definitely already on tilt watching JJ & Kledio take 2.5 hrs to play a race to 9

You are spot on about shaft diameter and once you starting going smaller than 12.5mm, the weight of the shaft gets
lower unless you artificially added weight. That’s easily understandable since there would be less mass. I had 3 noteworthy cue makers advise me the KW shafts I was looking to have built couldn’t be made without adding an insert.

I scoffed at that notion and just kept searching for cue makers. I mean it is just common sense that all you need is a heavier blank which means being selective with your wood inventory. The fact some cue makers do, whereas a lot of cue makers apparently don’t, have a diverse wood inventory is likely a contributing factor, if not the underlying reason, why I was misinformed by many cue makers I spoke with. Well, I have the shafts in my case & shaft weight does matter. One of my flat faced KW shafts is 12.55mm, 4.1 ozs and is just tip, small ferrule, phenolic black 1/2” collar & KW wood.

Just looking for a full splice blank, but thank you!

Installation ok but same version than yours so I’m not sure it helps.

At those odds I could probably back every player in the tournament and make a profit whoever won it.

with the 256 entries it means the average odds for a player drawn at say at random would be 255 to one.

good reason probability should be taught more in lower grades.

his tips were just as good as any. which for the most part defines most all tips.

but tip selection seems now to be a mental thing.

so its smart to buy what you have confidence and ignore what others say.

maybe just the rack that held the balls that came in that shape box when they were sold.

That may be it. There is probably enough room to fit cardboard around each ball for protection during shipping. Kind of expensive piece of wood for packaging, with the curves, but labor was cheap back then.

Not really a very good fit of 16 - 2 1/4" balls. I had to push from the top and bottom and still I couldn't get full contact with all the balls. I don't have enough 2 1/2" balls to try a fit with those.

Maybe it's for something besides billiards? This guy was a hoarder. The sellers tried to put similiar things together but they did include with this pool table, a dealer display cabinets for golf clubs thinking it was for cues.
