Best bet would be market cloning. Wait forever for marketable pursuits to run their course.

What is "micro cavitation"?

I think it's a boat propeller disease.

Vincett…….sent you a PM.

That's a problem. Again, it depends on the situation. If there was a bad hit, and the cue ball is rolling up to the far rail and is sure to hit nothing, that's one thing. I have seen a player pick up the cue ball while it was rolling after a foul, and it was rolling towards a cluster.

i assume here but they only have area refs at this juncture (?), and since it's hard to enforce with area refs, they don't. with marcel reffing in single elim he'd probably go NEIN! das ist foul! and make the offending player do a hundred push ups

Probably 'half bake' it for color. Then go from there.

Like food, you don't want to bake it too long because it becomes dry.

They'll probably keep the weight on that way.

Did you send your cue in for fit and finish? Or just sent the dimensions of your joint collar's diameter?

Here are photos of my friend’s flat faced KW shaft from the cue maker building my KW shafts. I expect my shaft could even turn out heavier. But 4.01 ozs (12.6mm) shaft that looks this nice would make me very happy. I’m going with a 5/8” ferrule. IMO, this shaft looks as good as any I’ve seen and after having played for a few hours today, it didn’t disappoint. The darker of the two shafts is from the cue maker building my shafts and I think he does a great job.

My main home pool room for a bunch of years had a mix of GC3s and Medalists. It was hard to tell much difference between them in play. They were all about 1995 vintage.

The cushions may need replacing.

I would say $1000 max. He could ask $1500 if he is not in a hurry.

I got genuine Elephant Ear wraps best quality.

As long as the balls are cleaned the same for everyone, it shouldn't matter. Everyone is playing under the same conditions and will need to adjust accordingly. ...

The cue ball is not being cleaned, it is being adulterated.

The players have a right to know before they go to a tournament what kind of conditions they will be playing under. It is easier for everyone to agree that the balls will be clean, smooth, cast phenolic without any slippery substance on the surface.
