EUROPEAN OPEN 2026, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, March 10-15

O
The field makes me wonder just how wise it was to schedule this immediately after the EPBF championships. I know the thinking is likely that having this tournament both shortly after and not too far away (sub-2-hour flight) from the previous event is supposed to make it more enticing for players to also enter, but it may actually be seen by the players as too much, too soon. Especially with the EPBF coming so soon after Vegas. This part of the calendar is probably just a little too crowded.

Any reviews out there for UNLIMITED (Double Carbon) Carbon Fiber shafts (from Japan)?

I assume that the high end CF shafts are probably not made from cheap Chinese CF tubes.

Are those Chinese CF tubes made in different tapers?

I wonder why this tech is so new, if the CF tubes are so cheap, and easy to make.

I just figured that if you are Japanese, then you do not use cheap Chinese CF tubes, lol. Lol, that sounds really dumb, I know.

Mezz surely builds their own tubes though, right? The most expensive CF shaft on the market, other then that Fedor Gorst Whyte Carbon shaft. Those are the 2 shafts that I would really love to try out someday.

I think you'll find that a lot of the things we think are not cheap chinese knock offs are actually the same companies that are contracted to make the originals. I'm not saying that's the case with cf shaft blanks, but it is the case with many items you might not think are. I think the fact that many of the chinese blanks are higher deflection speak to the likelihood that the major companies that have ld cf shafts likely make their own or contract with other companies to make them though.

A buddy of mine that's a pretty good player came over today. We played some 9-Ball and then he sort of introduced me to One Pocket. Seems like an interesting game, alot of strategy involved. Once we got down to the last 3-4 balls it took a while to finish off that rack.

Oh, and before anyone asks, he was interested in playing on the new Diamond Professional and checking it out. I don't think either one of us was bearing down like it was the finals of the US Open. He has played down at the Derby City before

Anyway, just wanted to let everyone know I now have been introduced to One Pocket.

Nice. Practice a light break .. take ball in hand and try to run as many as possible. From there you will learn the why’s and when’s. You will love the game. I promise you.

Yes, most of the cf shafts out there use chinese blanks that are actually not low deflection and in some cases high deflection. I did just this morning prove that they can be made low deflection although care needs to be taken when doing so.

I don't know how many or which companies or if ANY of the companies make their own cf shaft blanks. I simply can only speak to what I've been able to source.

Adding carbon to a maple shaft seems pointless to me. Can anyone explain the advantage of doing this without any unsubstantiated claims?
About the only thing I can think of is that it would make the maple a bit stiffer. Which is the exact reason I dislike most carbon shafts. Way too stiff for my liking.

As a core of the shaft, I don't see the benefit aside from higher stiffness to help against warping.
