I do believe the most annoying thing I find on azbilliards forums is when people ask a specific question and somebody pipes in and in so many words, basically says, its a dumb question. If you are not going to respond to the poster's question is it so hard to keep silent and not hijack or divert the thread? Just my frustration, and I see it in this thread. Of course I am perhaps hijacking and diverting the thread...but I couldn't resist.

Do you mean Brian, CBC(cocobolo cowboy)?

There have been many but finding, acquiring, setting up and playing on my 9’ Diamond is the gift that keeps on giving.

As well, having all the regulars and staff know me on sight and by name at my local room since coming back to the game.

Oh and having been welcomed by AZB!

My favorite pool memory of 2025 was attending my first ever professional event the Women's World 8 Ball Championship. I got to meet and talk to some of the greatest women players from around the world. It was a great experience to see how the players interacted with the fans. Always taking the time to autograph something or take a picture with them. Either win or lose they put on a smile and took the time. I also got to meet Mike Panozzo from Billiards Digest. Played in the amatuer event that was running alongside and placed in the money.

My second favorite was attending the Ultimate Pool USA Grand Finals and placing 9th in the second chance of the National Open.

I'd bet a couple of farms that Russian Kenny could spell prison!!

they had character. got lost in the future.

Good thing Niels isn't likely to be on Team Europe...

Anyone have a solid review on these Whyte Carbon shafts? I saw one review on youtube, but it looked when the reviewer hit some shots, it looked like he was less experienced. I think Dr. Dave said they have more deflection than a Revo, but there doesnt seem to be as much reviews to go off of.

Seems kind of bouncy to me, closer to a Diamond than a GC. Hard to say for sure unless on the table. The aesthetics are out of this world good though.
