Thanks. Have you ever seen those Orchid USA cues? I know they were not made in the US, but I recall them saying "Orchid USA" in the butt sleeve. Some of those looked really nice.

Yes, I have 3 of the "best" ones. I don't remember if any of mine might have "USA". There were actually several varieties of logos, markings, etc., some of which were not marketed in the US. Whether or not it is marked USA does not seem to have anything to do with the quality from what I have seen, some of those are nice, some are crap.

Example cue from Germany:

I was enjoying/listening to the Biado/Ignacio match earlier, nice w/o a crowd.... you can hear Biado making body noises once in awhile from above the shoulders.
One thing about em, he kicks in ''tough spots'' above all his peers.
Here's a GOOD example
Go to the 6-6 game score, where it's the 13 game and Biado is kicking w/o ANY diamond system, it's 100% feel'. His ability here is real, and he does exhume some body language at times to intentionally get under his opponents Skin... very subtle.

Okay. I heard if the moment of Biado and the ref but seeing it is hilarious.

I've been using Costco for eye doc and eyeglasses for years. I chose a pair that was a little oversized and tall enough, had the focal point raised up a little like when bending over to shoot. They are progressive lenses and work great. Cost under $300 . I do notice when I forget to put them on.

For a while I was getting Ray Ban shooting glasses and using the frames with Rx lens.
