Jordan and Sofia play at the same time (8PM Eastern) on table 14. Should be the WPBA streaming table.

Yeah, that should make for some good viewing.

I've seen Jordan Helfery live on two occasions. I was there a) when she won the women's junior event at the International Open, and b) when she played in the Las Vegas Open 10ball in February this year.

Didn't the BCA start this tournament in 1999? I went in 1999, 2001, and 2002.

I think it goes back a few years further than that.

I believe it was the only tournament of the year where the men and women played alongside each other.

That sounds right, at least in the US. The men and women always shared the venue at the European Championship events and at some other Euro-tour stops.

The first three years the preliminary rounds were up in the penthouse of the Riviera. Then starting in 2002 they moved them down to the big room on the main floor.

Yup, remember it well. The most memorable match I saw up there was when largely unknown Marcus Chamat topped Earl Strickland. I'm guessing that was in 1998.

It is scientifically provable and I think it matters to an extent, but I don't think something like 1.5 vs 1.75 inches on the maximum squirt test is going to make much of a difference for even elite players.

Joss now makes carbon shafts, I wonder how they are.

They are probably just as good as all the other CF shaft on the market. There is some incredible CF shaft coming out of China that are shockingly good for the price.

Once the tariff war ends, I might order the Joss CF shaft.

Yes, LD is mostly marketing bs even though it's scientifically provable. Cue manufacturer emphasis its significance as if it was a determining factor between a well build shaft or one that is not. I love m Joss Cue. It's a great shooter but most day, I have a revo shaft on it. That's just the way it goes.

I have a hard time getting past the first few shots with carbon shafts. I don't know if it was the tips or the shaft itself but it seems like the dozen or so I have tried so far all seemed so dead, like they had super soft tips on them, there is barely any feedback after hitting the cue ball. When I hit the cue ball i want information back from the cue, so far I have not got that from a carbon shaft. I would hate to have to spend $500 on a shaft and then install a tip of my preference and still hate the hit.

You don’t have to, but you will never know until you try.
It’s a hobby for the most of us, if you can afford trying something new then go for it, if not, don’t.
I was always able to sell a cue I didn’t like for a small loss.
