sjm that why i like vegas as the preferred choice.

all can find cheaper rates in the winter at least nearby. and the big plus is you can bring others with you who can find lots to do not pool related in town.
and winter weather isnt bad.

although the venue might not get as good of deals, but may at some of the smaller casinos, but maybe entry fees need to go up with the times.

100 bucks is the price of dinner out for two or breakfast out with the family. that isn't an entry fee but a ticket to a show.

and this way a major tournament can be a vacation as well and some may stay on after its over rather than ditching the joint as soon as they are out.

I love Las Vegas, too, and I was there earlier this month.

Still, Matchroom tried Las Vegas, having the US Open 9ball there in 2019 and the Mosconi Cup there several times. I think it is probable that they moved these events out of Las Vegas because better deals were available to them elsewhere. Production costs must be managed aggressively if we are to continue to enjoy the wide array of major events that pro pool is now offering.

+1 for Renaissance Wax, I learned about it here on this site and then researched the product, they use it in museums to clean priceless paintings and items, my thought was how bad could it be? I have a cue that has a CF butt with a leather wrap and CF shaft, I have been using Renaissance Wax for a couple of years and see no reason to change, works great, I even use it on the leather wrap, you won’t be disappointed.

Anyone Tried "Carbon Magic Polish" for Carbon Fiber Shafts?

It sounds like a black dyed ceramic coating. Not sure I'd pay $30 to find out though.

Yeah, that price does seem pretty high. They make a lot of claims about how good it cleans and how it removes white spots on the shaft (I’ve not experienced that issue with my carbon fiber shafts, so I’m not 100% sure what they mean by that). I’m just curious if anyone on this site has tried this stuff.

I have been preaching the benefits of Renaissance Wax for more than a decade on this Forum and lots of readers tried it. Not one had griped except 1 person bought some but it was counterfeit and just crap. It did not even resemble what Renaissance Wax looks like. You will not find any other pool product that works as well. All the other oils and waxes are crap versus a Renaissance. Everyone I have steered toward using it has been delighted so get on board or miss out on enjoying the best.

Falcon Cue

looks good and if hits good then it is worth buying only for the value you put on having a good hitting cue.

if you want to pay up for looks or a name that is a totally different pricing for a cue. and is very subjective.

i have a balabuska that hits as good as any cue ever. but as just a playing cue 500 bucks top. you pay more for the name.
