Interested In the BK Rush Butt

There's a company called Proqure that has different colored "carbon", but I couldn't get a straight answer out of them if it's a coating or not, so I'd say it most likely is. I'd be happy to be wrong though.

I'd love for a company to come up with a method or formulation to tint or color carbon fiber. I'd be interested to see if something like a graphene sheet could be colored and roll or filament wind a shell over a quality CF shaft.

never heard of but if it wasn't a coating they would for sure promote that aspect..

The Becue original white shafts were cosmetically perfect, but the finish requires that you wear a glove.

If they are anything like the Whyte carbon, it's a coating. It's not great, but if you shoot with a glove normally, it's not horrible either. It's basically the same thing as the "wood grain" CF shafts on Aliexpress.

Is this case still available?

Good morning, K2.

How wonderful to see you back on the boards, dear fellow. Thank you so much for such kind words, my friend. They are always sincerely appreciated.

It is marvellous that you and Mr L have seemingly acquired two of only three Motorola sets in existence… and even more pleasing indeed that both of you are admired contributors to this thread to share the tale so well. Pool ball collectors might yet be a relatively small band of brothers, but we’re finding each other one at a time!

Take care.

I think the other thing that pissed off Oscar as I remember when it happened is ja didn’t try to reach out to work it out and pay off the debt. Like give 1k or there .. he just ignored it. Ja said he was flat broke trying to get an apartment so he could see his kids. Just a shitty situation .

I don't think its a Carom model.

All tables have 7 inch more on the short side than long side and on the small table that make a bigger difference on the ratio

Sheldon said:

This is true, most slates are slightly less than twice the width, usually by just a few inches. If you're trying to adjust for that, the 1/4" you're taking off is more than the difference warrants. Simple math tells you it should only be 1/8".
2 is to 57 as about 3.75 is to 107
If your slate measures 57x107 and you pull 2" on the side, you would want 1.877 on both ends to be exact.

I know that, but when the cloth is stretched to 2 inches on the short side, then 1 3/4 inches on each end, it's very tight and does a perfect job. You have to look at the results and track them over time to know. A cloth stretched at a 1:2 ratio will definitely loosen on the short side; I know this because we tried it and saw it after no more than a month and a half. Some installers here strectch more than twice the long side, it's definitly wrong wrong.

his claim to fame was that he was about the best player for a long career.

Maybe $1,700?

I paid more than that for the 4 I bought, but there's no chance 17k. Hell, you can buy a fairly nice Bushka for that amount

I wonder if they are having some problems there? I placed an order and was provided a non functional tracking number from PayPal when it said it had been shipped. Since the tracking number never worked I gave it quite enough time to arrive but it never did. I reached out to find out what was going on with the order and they did not respond. I did receive a not from PayPal that I would be receiving a refund. I have not yet received it but that is not to say I won't.
I can't imagine what's going on that instead of selling product and communicating with your customers that you just have PayPal tell me to expect a refund with no explanation whatsoever, But It does raise some red flags for me.
I hope all is well. Does anyone know if things are still on the up and up or what may have happened?

How long did you place the order? I think I received mine 1-2 weeks. Not sure if they are still having some issues with the dreaded Canada Post. Since their shipping from my experience has been on the slow side, I bought a few extras just in case. My recent ultraskin acquisition was from a 3rd party seller which was cheaper and faster.

Looks like the CB-4 is a carom cue though, is that right? Mine is 20.3 ounces with a 13mm tip, so I’m wondering if it’s a different model.

Today's players shoot straighter than their counterparts of the 10-foot era, but their pattern play and problem solving are not as good, and the ten-footer at Derby City quickly exposed it.

The great mystery to me is how much of players "shooting straighter" today is due to superior cues and cloth vs better stroke and technique?

I know for myself, when I play on a slower nappy cloth my accuracy takes a signficant hit due to swerve from English (both accidental and purposeful). I also know I am also more accurate with my Predator now than I was decades ago with other cues (and I don't even have the latest and greatest Predator shaft).

Does anyone know when gthey started using the faster Simonis and other similar cloth vs. the older nappy cloth you'd see in most pool rooms.

It's an interesting question because unlike other sports like basketball, baseball, football where being bigger, stronger, having better nutrition and condition will have a huge impact, in pool things like that won't have a huge impact on shooting straighter.

One thing is certain, there are WAY MORE great players now than years ago.

Sheldon said:

Pool tables are twice as long as they are wide. The reason the stretch index is the same on the 3 sides other than the anchor accounts for this.
You're pulling the side half as much as the ends.

No, pool table are not twice as long as they are wide, you are wrong, 9 feet pool table slate are 57'' X 107'' and not 57'' X 114'', how long have you been in this field to not know that?
