in all the years i've seen biado i've never seen him lose heart.

really one of the greats of this era

carlo has mounted an impressive comeback. 7–8 now.

Aleska without a shot clock is painful to watch. Back to table 1 for me

Hi folks,

I've got a Predator Revo that's basically worn smooth. I can put a ceramic coating on it and it's not too bad, but I was considering sending it back to Predator for their Recharge service. Basically, the shaft looks like the before in the video.

Alternatively, I have access to large enough lathes to do it myself and I might do that as it's a backup shaft anyway. Can anyone confirm or speculate what they do to resurface the shaft? It looks like they sand it tip to joint, but I'm not sure.

Past that, I have a first gen Cuetec Propel where the shaft was smooth from the factory. Would a similar sanding process help here, or should I leave it alone?

Any ideas welcome, thank you!

In response to your ORIGINAL question....don't do it! You are free to do as you want, but you asked opinions and have balked at most that said don't do it or do the recharge....WHY ASK if you don't want to listen? There was a Seal coat that was applied at manufacture....by sanding you can go to 30,000 grit and it will still not be the same as when it was made. You have your mind made up so just do it......Would like to know what happens......my money is on regrets.....Enjoy

FSR beat thorsten 10–0

Hey that's pretty fun. I started at 8, got through 9 and 10 and stopped; seemed easier after a few tries. The break is important. I'll continue later, maybe over the weekend.

Please let me know if you have any other feedback or suggestions after you work with it more.

freds said:

The rack is random? (w/one in front.)

Click to expand...

Correct. Pattern racking is not allowed under the WPA official rules of pool, which AO follows except for no rail contact required and no foul (only 4-stroke penalty) with a wrong ball hit first.

freds said:

And the break doesn't count as 1 stroke?

Click to expand...

Correct.

freds said:

Not sure about the ratings; I don't have a real fargo but play at about 600 (well I like to think I do.)

Click to expand...

Please let me know how well the rating designation matches your level of play after you put more time in.

freds said:

BTW, you've got a typo in the PDF, should be 30 strokes here: 10. 10 balls in 20 strokes from 10-ball rack – mid advanced (B)

Thanks for pointing this out. I've fixed it.

I figure its a couple hundred lbs. Still thinking about picking one up.Luckily I have a hoist that i put up in the rafters above my garage

The crate was 281 lb and what you see left on the floor is about 250.

I ordered a blank several years ago, and it was not great. After a few months, you could fill the ridges in between the points and the forearm. Then it warped later on. I think the blank was maybe a $100 bucks so I wasn’t surprised.
