Molinari 2.0 Premium Chalk - Anybody try it yet?

Just saw this on Seyberts and am intrigued. I like the fact you get 2 pieces for $25 and that it comes with silicone covers to keep your case clean during storage. If this was comparable to Taom at all it would seem like a great deal and I would like those covers.

Thick nickel silver rings?

I'm making a Frank Paradise-style cue with thick nickel silver rings. The thickest I've found online from the usual sources are 0.05". Other than buying an expensive metal blank and hogging my own rings for a one-off cue, does anyone know of another source? Here's an example of the ring thickness I'm looking for:

I could also be wrong on the construction method--I've never handled a Frank Paradise in the flesh--but I assume these are thick rings and not a bunch of stacked thin rings.

Thanks

Couple stream comments since its the first year without accu-stats:
-stream and website were much easier to navigate and purchase, and then actually start the player to watch
-Picture quality looks good, same as accu-stats
-Fixed cameras only. No moving boom like accu-stats
-Commentary the same (same people).
-Sound quality good, maybe a hair more echoes and background noise than accu-stats. IDK what their booth setup is, I know accu-stats was always far away in a sealed booth.
-Player has no rewind button. IDK why it seems only youtube can do that, and the other streamers have such a hard time with it.
-No instant replay so when the commentators say "Did you see how awesome that shot was", the prod crew does not show it again.

Overall I'd say it's a good production and a good value at $50 for the whole week. Maybe a hair less production than accu-stats, but the ease of purchase makes it a push, imo.
