Yes, I was also hoping for more first hand intel.

FWIW, Mark Wilson told me it was a very lux setup with plenty of tables and cameras everywhere for streaming... hell, I dan't know.

Maybe I'll go and play in the 14.1 too which is suppose to run concurrent with the 1pocket, just to pass the time.

It’s a great location, and the world’s greatest convenience store / gas station chain ( Buc’ee’s) is less than a mile. There is a restaurant within the parking lot of the hotel. I was only there for the pro 9-ball, but I didnt hear any conplaints on the scheduling.

Best jump shaft wood or material

ratcues
I've seen jumpers built built in every configuration. They all work and there is not a one-size-fits-all. The best advice I can give in building any cue is this; build yourself a few. One heavy, one light. One maple, one Purpleheart....etc. Figure out which one suits you best. Let others test them. Get feedback. Apply the new knowledge into another round of testing. You will never waste time or material by learning from trial and error.

Meucci Factory Cue Repair

I have 6 currently at Meucci and they have done 5 in the last year.
They are doing phenomenal work currently and none of the old issues seem to be present. Darren is the one I always speak with. Great advice and easy to work with.

I have had cues refinished a proficient as well and they are outstanding.

Meucci is definitely the cheaper of the two.

McDermott does great work but in my opinion are too expensive unless I need a D, C or B series butt cap I would never have them refinish a cue and I have had them do several.

DCC one pocket speed-up rule

The rules will not decide the victor of matches only will they somewhat occasionally alter the strategy used within those matches. Same players are going to win just because they’re the best players and that’s what they do.

You are correct -- the rules won't change who comes out on top.

But if you want to play 1pocket, and not some gaffed up version of 1pocket, it's going to have an impact. Particularly when some Hoosier gets you 2-0 and decides every shot needs to be examined at length and the bathroom keeps beckoning him. Over the years I've had plenty of comebacks from 0-2 or even 0-3 in a race to four. I'm not sure I could even blame the guy I'm playing if he goes into a stall as the time limit approaches.
