Wow - I Wish that I could fnid some of this anywhere. The only blank Ive been able to find is $150 for two blanks but $220 FOR SHIPPING !!!

220 for shipping? This is a domestic wood.

The punch line is that no matter how reliable the seller is there is a 50-50 chance you will encounter bark inclusions before you get your cut to final size. It's just the nature of that wood but by golly it's worth it!

Having said that if J2pac has some you will have good odds.

Legal shot question for the APA ruleset

I have been playing pool for 54 years so I don't remember when and who I picked this shot up... be it from playing 8 ball or a grumpy Irishman who taught me snooker.

The shot is you lay your cue on the table and bring the cue tip just past the edge of the cue ball so when raise the tip it brushes the cue ball. I was taught the shot for very close cue ball and object shots that would require extreme finesse and would be near impossible otherwise. I was taught the shot was called a "lift".

The question is this legal? I understand it still COULD end in a double hit cue ball foul but the suggestion that it not being at a 45 degree angle magically makes it an illegal shot.... I have to call BS on that. Anyway I didn't find anything in the rulebook. So I thought I see what folks think here.

If I remember correctly, the BCA rules require a shot be ‘stroked’. Merely lifting the cue might not qualify (?)

"6.5 foot (88”), 7 foot (93"), 8 foot (101")"
Where do you suppose they are measuring these tables?? If its cushion nose to cushion nose which is the correct way to measure playing area that 8" Valley at 101" is bigger than a 9' Gold Crown.

Bigger dimension is outside dimension. Playing area is cushion nose to nose. So 93” table is 40x80 play area. 9’ table is 50x100.

Have the Brits come up with some miracle eye care as well? If so, it seems to have worked on Ronnie O'Sullivan.

There is a theory that the top players have lasted so long at the top as the sport is kind of dying in the UK. Lots of snooker clubs closing down or getting rid of most of their tables and replacing them with pool tables which means less good players are coming through.

Though now there is a new generation of good Chinese players coming through it will be interesting to see how much longer the old guard (Ronnie, Williams, Higgins) can hang on.

How do LOW-COST CARBON FIBER SHAFTS Perform Compared to the Best?

I'm really curious if the same results would come from a 12.9 revo compared to a 12.9 Rhino. But I'm not curious enough to buy them and send them to you.

If your curiosity level increases, let me know. Or if you know people who have those cues, anybody can easily do the tests on their own using the simple and reliable procedures in the video.

Cost for a 9' is more, they take up more room area so your rent in higher with less tables. Drinkers and food pay the rent these days not full time pool player, and operation costs a Big.

This is why snooker is dying in the UK. Can fit in more 9 ball pool or UK 8 ball pool tables in the same space and both are more beginner friendly than snooker too.
