Just like how predators cf shaft cleaning wipes cost $30.00 for a pack of 50. They are just Isopropyl Alcohol wipes. You can get a 100 pack of the exact same thing at walmart vision center for $5.00. Oh, but i guess they dont say predator on them.

$5 ?? These are $1 in the Pharmacy section:

I think asking the Mods yo move this thread to a different forum serves no purpose. Let it remain right here where more readers patrol threads than in the cue makers forum. Just start a new thread in that forum and leave this one as is. You can have posts in as many forums as you want and having yours in more than one forum is allowable. GL getting helpful info.

most sports outlaw gimmick equipment that isn't part of the traditional use of the game. for good reason.

Zhao Ruliang is 24, and both of the finalists are younger than him. I think the guy who lost the match is only 21, not sure about the winner, although 891014+1 said he was 21. Might be a little older than that

the all japan was in 2019, so must be older. also in 2016 he won the under-17 world junior 9-ball.

I have had a different experience than you when I tried playing with LBM ferrules. I am not the best source since ivory ferrules are my preference and is on most of my cues. Only two of my cues don’t have ivory…..my Palmer and my ‘85 Schon which has Micarta. I’ll defer to others that know more about this than myself.not implying that you might be since I don’t know you.

Here's some testing that was done many years ago, I believe ivory came in around 87 (not in that list). Construction method certainly plays a role in feel, so it's very likely that to you it felt softer, but in general the material is on the harder side.

the basic premise that holds true is that outlawing something doesn't stop the criminals from getting it. just the honest people.

prohibition, drugs, firearms, showed that those willing to break what laws that are there for them will get what you are trying to stop them from getting never works.. and only punishes those that want to use properly or makes them be criminals.
