Observational question from watching some of the Mosconi cup

Makes sense. Just think of the jiggle you would have with a 1.25” leather tip with a slight droop to it. 🤓


They used to start with oversized leather machined to fit.

I think a shorter tip has less "jiggle" and might be more consistent. Also you tend to stroke more firmly to avoid miscues. These days I just glue on the correct diameter tip and shape the top as required.

Chinese 9 Ball

Chinese 9-ball is F lit. I recommend ignoring a large portion of the even and tuning in from the business end. Insanely good pool, and the pace of play isn't that bad.
I couldn't get past the dumbass 3 point rule they were using. The above link match starts at about 1:24. They kept breaking, didn't get 3 points, the opponent appeared to be able to accept the table or get a rerack and they now break. Over and over it went until finally after what seemed like 10 brakes the table was "accepted" and a game was finally played. The ref's butt did get some great exposure time on the asscam so that is a plus.
