Soft hitting custom cue maker cues?

Agree with all, I mentioned the tip and pad. A softer ferrule material would be Juma for starters.

Yep. That's what I was thinking as well.

And for anyone who didn't pick up on why I put them in the order they're in, it's because everything except monkeying with the taper can be changed back to what it was. I haven't found anyone (yet) who can successfully add wood back to a shaft taper. So there's no turning back once that's done. And for those who care about this sort of thing, it will almost certainly affect the resale value of the cue.

A 147 break at the Saudi Arabia Masters is worth $67,675 (£50,000). Ronnie makes two, so that gives him $135,550 (£100,000).

Winner receives $677,760 (£500,000), and second place pays $271,000 (£200,000).

If Ronnie wins the Saudi Arabia Masters, he will take home $813,300 (£600,000).

Right now, if he loses, he's guaranteed $406,500 (£300,000).

The total purse of the Saudi Arabia masters is $3,120,321 (£2,302,000) total purse.

As an aside, this year's U.S. Open in tennis is set for a total $1 billion purse: The men's and women's singles champions at the 2025 U.S. Open will each take home $5 million, up 39% from the $3.6 million awarded in 2024, making it the largest winning payout in the sport.

Let's hope pool be on the rise in payouts as well in the coming years. We've got the Saudi Arabia World Championship with a $500,000 total purse, which is a great start.

Actually the reward for a maximum is £50k, but there is a special bonus for maximums if you make two in major events, you get additional £147k for each two. Meaning that if you make four, you get £294k up to £441k for six. Now at Saudi Open someone already made a 147 and now Ronnie with two is getting two thirds of that £50k (~33k) plus additional 147k adding up to roughly £180k for two maximums. Not bad 🤓
