I think the Ko brothers play with regular maple shafts, but I think the cues are like collector level cues or priceless...you can only buy them with faberge' eggs, gold bars, and infants I believe.

They are incredible. I saw a video where they toured the factory where their cues are made and it's really an impressive operation.

Force of habit, I call my shot and point w my cue to the intended pocket. My 14:1 mentor was anal about that stuff. Kinda stuck w me.

Do you do this on every shot? Like you are straight in on the 1b - you point and call? Do you do this in non call shot games?

I do call every bank, carom or combo, not matter how obvious also through force of habit. I have to stop myself when playing 9b (which I play less often so I forget and sometimes call it and feel stupid).

I quit drinking coffee about 30 years ago , I replaced it with either ice or hot tea .

As for smokeless tobacco I quit my sometimes 1 - 2 can a day Copenhagen habit cold turkey on 12-2-2017 right in the middle of chemo and radiation treatments for throat cancer , or to be completely honest P 16 Human Papaloma Virus , no my cancer wasn't because I used tobacco products or smoked it was hereditary as both of my parents died from cancer and its treatments .

This is a subtlety. But the FargoRate approach doesn't require or assume that a late-stage high-pressure match is somehow the same as an early-stage match in a lower-profile tournament.

Rather it assumes that averaged over your high-pressure matches, your opponents were also playing in high-pressure matches and impacted similarly.

A particularly player could be unusually affected by or unusually unaffected by that pressure, and we wouldn't capture that in any meaningful way.

Mike, FargoRate, by now, has a wealth of interesting data that would be a blast to really dig into. You might want to consider expanding into that realm.

They are 57mm. I was looking to buy some, but the price seems very high.

And, 2 months ago, there was an incomplete set in the UK with 12 or 13 balls, which sold for about 70,-. They were online for months until someone bought them finally. So I am not sure, if incomplete sets are that low compared to a complete one…

It's an expensive set, when complete.

Rubik tracks prices better than I do these days. Personally I think what people are paying for sets right now is insane but I have most of the set I wanted already and clearly demand is far outstripping supply.

Honestly this is purchase needs to be lensed through a CBA paradigm. Do you want these balls, will having and playing with them bring you enjoyment?

If so I would strongly recommend buying them at market prices and don't sweat the cost.

Lol why did you have to call me out like that? ;)

I try like hell not to have to but I get out of shape more than I'd like to admit. The bright side is it has helped me practice my shotmaking skills! :ROFLMAO:

Just a curiosity. In most sports, after a big win you see the winner bring his kids onto the course/field during celebrations. I can't remember ever seeing that in pool.

Yup, other than Jayson Shaw and Jeanette Lee (and, needless to say, Ernesto Dominguez), few pro pool players I have ever seen brought their kids to events in which they competed.
