Sure, I even have a set of Rashig because I'm a fanatic. I guarantee you won't see one in the wild though. The last time I did was 1999 or so.

Centennials are going the same way. Rooms that still have Gold Crowns are replacing their worn Centennials with other brands. Rooms that have Diamonds/Predator/Rasoon tables never had Centennial's to begin with. The main way a room would get new Centennials today is if they get new Gold Crowns, which is rarely happening.

National park?

Hate to tell you, Joss, but we can all clearly see your name and initials.

Looks like rockfall mitigation. Dude on ledge donning hardhat.

Don't know why his face is pixelated.

Yeah, I had one that I believe was brand new, never played, and it was pretty nice. I think I got very little money out of the cue though, which was surprising.

The brand is obscure. There was another that went cheap. I didn't see it until after it sold. It wasn't identified in the sale at all. I think a lot of people don't know the brand or know that catalog was made by Viking. Earlier Murrey cues were made by others.

I would have loved to have had that one you had that was like new, but that sold befor I came back to cues.

Hey - I play a Schon also and Brian at JJ Cue will sell you a Joss butt only for a good price - good luck

A solid looking cliff shouldn’t be taken for granite.

Not a bad thought. Honestly I like how in SVB vs Fedor, you had the rack pattern randomly generated. It’d be neat to see them do that but the 1-ball and 10-ball is included in the random positions. And you have to hit the head ball even if it’s not the 1-ball.

Hitting the head ball wouldn’t solve the “dead ball(s)” issue though. Random 1 and 10 would at least make it near impossible to play position on the 1 though.

Might be a radical idea(and a terrible one too but just for fun)

let’s put the 1 ball in the second row and make them hit it first lol

Among the shafts that I own, I prefer the SMO best and the Rhino last. The Rhino comes last in terms of fit, finish and performance.
With all the experience that I've gained in the last 3 months with CF shafts, if I have to pick and buy only one, it'll probably be the Revo 12.4mm

Are you saying if you had owned a Revo 12.4mm instead of a Revo 12.9mm, and if you had to pick and buy only one shaft of those you owned, it would be the Revo 12.4mm?

Is the Revo 12.4mm that much better for you than the 12.9mm Revo?

There is no such thing as "basically" missing a shot.

Sure there is. Watch matches from the 1980s and 1990s. It seems like one or two balls per rack are poorly hit but fall anyways on those buckets. And I'm not talking intentional cheat to move the cue around.
