How did you go around looking out for those events or hosting/starting 1 ?

just players that we know each other from league or other tournaments and club locals get together, meet at the club and get a couple of tables and run it ourselves.

Today it’s easier as we have a players whatsapp group so we just advertise there and see if there are any takers.
We don’t do Fargo so that doesn’t matter.

One of the pool clubs here started a weekly small tournament every Thursday evening, small events, so far we had 16 players max.
We do groups of round robin and then 2 from each group advance to a knockout stage.
We finish it in like 4-5 hours. We get different levels of players, we look at it as practice tournament, so no handicap.

Caspers got me feeling the nerves

I have 2 Barnhart shafts that are a full 13mm and 4ozs. I'm used to playing with a Z3 shaft so they deflect quite a bit more than im used to.

Do you think having one of the shafts turned down to 11.8mm would result in deflection similar to a Z3? or should i just go ahead and buy a Z3 shaft?

The only reason I'm considering the turn down is to keep matching rings and i hate shaft logos that come on predator shafts.

Thanks

You can send him a Z3 blank and have him add the rings and leave off the logo. Or send him an existing shaft and do the same. Or have another cue maker do the same, some are able to replicate the rings.
