This is hitting balls into other balls with a stick, however you do it, it isn't wrong if it works.

Define “works”.

Chua won the event and $50K.

I’m familiar with Kielwood shafts and some readers may have read my prior posts about the weight of a KW.

I now have 4 KW shafts all flat faced for big pin cue joints. The weight range is 3.81 ozs to 4.1 ozs. And the
acoustical sound of my stroke is really fine. Perhaps the type & size of the ferrule, as well as tip hardness, are
factors to consider but I’ve got no complaints about the sound of the hit. The deflection seems to be excellent
but I don’t get fixated on it either. I know the cue ball defects less & can see it but how much I’ve not measured.

I can’t imagine ordering a cue built without specifying it included KW shafts but only if the cue maker can commit
to the weight of the shafts I want built. However, I don’t want weight to be artificially added to the shafts. A talented
cue builder should be able to deliver what you want. I searched and found some so I know it can be accomplished.
KW shafts are stiffer and others have even referred to it as brittle. All I can report is KW plays better than orig. maple.

ESPN's decline can be traced to journalists leaving and it becoming more about debates foolishness. Two highest paid employees are SAS and McAfee. Bob ley gone, Stuart Scott gone, sports reporters show gone. It's all rants and antics. PTI still holding it down and nfl live. Get up is fine

We are already seeing it with Pinoy players. Johann Chua just won $50,000 at a Duya event, and he and other Filipino players plan to play in the big Duya tourney with $750,000 in prize money this summer.

what was first prize? and who won it

Not sure what the best way is to remove it. Others gave talked about ways in the past but I don't remember.
Not sure if you have a polisher or not, if so, I I just put mine in my polisher for awhile with out any cleaning solution to somewhat wear it off, then just played with them without cleaning them. It will eventually wear it off.
It may have been on Dr Dave's youtubes where he talked about getting it all off.
Maybe Rexus remembers where they talked about how to do it.
