Seemed there were a lot of cue makers there this year, and all the big custom resellers.

I've never been to an SBE, were there historically a bunch of smaller 2nd-hand cue dealers present?

Yes… a lot more then there seems to be now. There was a lot of venders this year compared to some past years but they were mostly selling the same stuff.

I have been a loyal Predator user since I switched to low-deflection back in 2013. I started with a Z2 but it was too small - I have arthritis and greatly prefer a larger diameter so I switched to the 314-2. Eventually I had the 314-3 and Vantage before switching to CF with the REVO 12.9. A couple years ago I switched from Uniloc to Radial because the feel was noticeably better, but still REVO 12.9.

I hear ya.. I would like to try something new like longoni cues but I just don’t want to get used to a different cue and I’ve been playing predator for 15 years at this point.

So Im bored and looking to fill my pool case. Need a jump/break. Any Omens or Maces out there. Preferrably around 190z with 1 or 2 shafts close to 13mm.

Thanks in advance.

Still not even sure I have enough free time to play, but definitely not at a point that I feel comfortable taking my 30+ year old equipment out.

Why not? That equipment is there to be used, that’s it’s purpose.
Worse case scenario, the equipment hasn’t survived the time well, then you buy something new.

Nice! What kind of carpet did you use for the sprocket and the side walls? And, does it work well for you? I used to have a diamond and sold it about 5 years ago, so now attempting to make one. Thank you!

it was a "Non-Slip Carpet Mat 28inX9in Indoor Stair Runners" from amazon. just wanted something that was soft and just slightly shaggy. anything similar would do

Ok, I have installed Simonis, CPBA and few cheap cloths on my own tables.I have never installed anything faster than 860. I know that on a 9ft table with Simonis the stretch is around 1.8. I just installed Gorina Tournament 2000 and what I came up with as the stretch index of 2.7. basically 3.5" stretch. Does this sound right? Does fast cloth have that much more stretch? What is it for 760 cloth?
