Yes, all Meucci product is currently coming from the US

Then just make one. Tomahawk would work nicely.

I install many many tips every week, for some of the best players in the area I live, and 80%+ settle in on the Hybrid Max. They're easy to get, reliable, and the price has come way down..

12-6/12-5, never seen you play...

I don't think so. ...

Playing even for 10 or 20 seems much more reasonable to start.

Seems a good time to say that 2026 has been the best year ever in women's pro pool, with lots of big events, greatly improved prize money in both the WPA majors and in WPBA play, and a fast-rising quality of play.

Eyeballing the AZB money list, as shown today, six of the top fifteen prize money earners are women!

To add some perspective, I recall attending a women's world championship event in the late 1970's. The number of players in the field was eight! Seven of them were longshots, and then there was Jean Balukas.

Played from where they layed for target thrown as Frisbee got this.
Lefty's lag got a hanger and rights attempt to bump hard was a clean miss.


2-2 oh what fun. Better go now.
Race to 10 ought to do it. For morning fitness.

Allison's records dwarf the rest of them!

Absolutely, Jay. Allison's the gold standard.

To me the problem with the GS line is the look. A plain G core model looks better - little upgrade on the joint and rings goes a long way IMO. I have a McDermott that came with the G Core that I got a while back. Probably more years now than I think. I don’t play with it but it is in the rack by my table and I hit balls with it once in a while. Finish and overall quality is great. I don’t love the G Core I don’t think. I have actually thought of sending it in for maintenance and having a regular maple shaft done with matching ring. I picked up an old D Series this year and the old maple shaft is good. I haven’t tried all their shafts, I think I tried someone’s I shaft for a few shots is all.

I saw one for sale locally that was a model that usually comes with a G Core that was ordered with maple. Looked good, I wondered how it would play. Maybe I’ll send mine in and get a regular shaft and report back.

Vintage bar table practice, back in the day when the table cost a quarter. Well $5 an hour was good money.
Target practice with just the cueball. The World's Greatest Billiards player Willie Hoppe only got one ball for a month, starting out.
So start over. Shrug.
Start with a lag.

The handy dandy 3 ball break pad makes a fine target. The left cueball is Lefty opener....not a bad lag. The right hand returns a target overlap win for 2 . 2-0 right, now reset the target and play them as the lay. 1 rail required but rails multiple adds to points. Oh what fun. Well for the easily enteredtrainedd.
Edit: and oh yeah, on the target is 3.
Seems I recall a target pool product in the "vintage" category.
Edit for brag: My ring game name became Kickslikamule. Practice practice practice can be fun and educational too. Whew, back to the game....2 service zero.

With 8 tables, wouldn't it take just 10 rounds, not 11?

I'm guessing that they will have separate semifinals on the third day.
