I'd line it up for a medium stop. Trick question?

I remember being asked in a job interview, “What did you do as hydro-ceramic technician at Boston Market?”

“That’s just technical talk for dishwasher.”

Don't give up your day time job

12 points represents at most a 2% shift in win probability, pretty much a rounding error.

Some still use Nelsonite or other similar stabilizing agents, but it seems that the consensus now is that if a shaft want's to warp it does and the stabilizing agent just makes you spend more time on a shaft that still will warp at some point. It's the same with drying wood in general. Some makers rely on moisture control to keep things stable from square to dowel to final piece, while many cuemakers actually "tortures" the wood, so you weed out the bad blanks before you even start working it, saves you time in the long run.

How good was Mark Cavalier. I played him once in a 9 ball tournament, hill-hill, Mark missed the 8 ball so bad it went three rails in a hole and had straight in on the 9. God, I hate 9 ball

He could get it for sure. High gambling speed for the $$$, SAJ brought him in all across the country, and so many people had no idea what he looked like but he played strong shortstop speed, maybe a bit higher.

12 points is a good amount of movement with a 671 robustness for not having played in 3.5 years. My bet is you played a few tournaments in the interim and forgot about them, or didn't know they reported.

If you download the fargorate app, and pay for the subscription service, it will show you all of your matches. You can pay for just a month for about $2, and then turn it off. The free version doesn't show your match history, the paid version does.

FYI, Bob Runde left Schon in 1992.

Its likely a Ltd or custom built between '94 and '97 based on the "acme pin". Both my acme pin Schön were made during that time frame. The bottom of the joint is capped, where in the standard joint you can see the forearm wood.

The main chemical is Nelsonite that you don't want prolonged exposure to is Xylene. Stabilizers don't really let you make shafts faster. I've never heard a cuemaker guarantee a shaft will stay straight.

Not the cue guys but the mass producers of Viking, Lucasi, - whoever the actual mfgers. There's way less wait for the wood to settle itself.

FYI, Bob Runde left Schon in 1992. The Schon in the pics was 1993, the only year
they used that pin and Schon an shaft diameter on the collar.
Only Schon I've owned was a '93 STL 1. Great cue but too stiff hitting for me.
I imagine there might be an overlap from when these pins/collars started and Bob left but I don't think that's the case.
Someone else may chime in and correct me if I'm wrong. Nice cue.

We must endeavor to persevere.

Don’t necessarily have a project but not necessarily sure I’m going to keep this shaft yet.
