I use one of these pouches, no mess, super soft, no need to wear special jeans or shirts for pool, super soft, no chalk falling off the magnet on the floor like I see all the time on those magnetic ones, and no worries about having the clip or holder scratch anything. Just works perfectly. You don't know what you are missing till you try a good one. Inexpensive, but shipping from UK is as much as the pouch. Still about the same price as a good magnetic one.

So I am asking is there any benefit to having an adjustable offset taper attachment compared to dedicated tailstock. In your opinion of course.
I would agree having taper bars would be better for a compound taper

I just felt the tail stock would be more solid and accurate. having an attachment sticking out of a chuck attachment might have more play and the offset attachment has to be made parallel to bed to be accurate. I'm sure it works, I just like the tailstock better

It's no secret that I don't really follow the action matches. Would somebody who does offer some highlight s of the year in action matches?

Well the Preach that's aching to get out. That's code for another Grampa story.
Partner in Scotch double ring game at 10 a man. 3 teams, ring game 9 ball.
Well me and my partner, uh had friction between us. The righteous mad I had generated in him with a disrespectful comment I made to my wife. As we were in citizen's divorce mode. My excuse is, I just wanted her to leave. He considered her, uh a second mother. Wow! We shot with only one missed ball, all night. I missed it and immediately switched to Leftie and we finished the night with, "I made Mine" in the glare. You would have thought well fist fight preliminary displays comes to mind.
I know we created in excess of a hundred maybe 140 each. not a bad Friday night at The Seed in Bellevue.
