same game just easier.... big pockets, no long shots
If you play 9ball / 10 ball, then even clusters are not an issue.
I you practice some 14.1 (on 9ft) then clusters in 8ball on a bar box are not an issue either.

I was playing this guy last night at my 8Ball league's playoff and he was taking his glove off as i was about to shoot the 8ball for the win of the match. didn't affect me dropping that 8 and advancing to the semi-final....
stop looking for excuses

Used a LePro Tip, how could that be?

Guys Skill, no his Tip.

LePro are inconsistent but if you get a good one, it's a great tip. I have no idea if there is a way to tell which are good and which are junk out of the box, I still have like half a box from when I was more active at installing tips, it was the cheap option.
Marcus Dienst the maker of Arthur cues swears by them but then again, his cue is the one that warped the most in my collection over the years of sitting in a case.

Not sure I agree. I have used tips that I hated almost immediately. Some glaze and mushroom far worse than others, hold chalk better, etc. All leather is not equal...Differences in manufacturing process, quality control, and so on.
Just an opinion from the cheap seats.
Carry on.

Now with the Bulletproof Recoil tip there is a synthetic tip, no leather, I'm hard on tips and most tips only lasted me 4 months or so, I'm almost 1 year on the Recoil tip and I got at least 6 months if not more.

Nice looking cue, I wouldn't mind owning it regardless of who made it.
If the price is right and it rolls straight, grab it

I don't blame you one bit, If it was me and you quoted me $150 I would have not only paid it I would have tipped you as well for creating a custom piece for me.
