No plans on taking orders, or taking deposits.
To me that would be like working for someone else and would turn a fun hobby into a job. :sick:

Yeah? Well you did seem to be interested in a challenge as posted in my wanted thread. That's not an order, but sure sounds spunky.

Nothing but fun, but if you can do what you said, I will back up what I said.

Remember, we work for pictures!

Good, bad, or ugly, I will cheer you on if you have the guts to go after it.

Controversial Non-Call of WRONG-BALL-HIT-FIRST FOUL - Hanoi Open - Capito vs. Lechner Quarter Final

Capito has always been a stand up guy. It’s BS to say he knew he fouled. If he didn’t call it on himself, it’s only because he wasn’t sure. Apparently it wasn’t as obvious as some people are making it out to be since it got ruled as a good hit. Mistakes happen, but questioning his integrity is not cool.

Any pro on the planet knew that was a foul by how the CB moved. Max sure did, he's the one that stopped the game. He even motioned with his hands how the CB went sideways during the live broadcast. You're an Open speed player. Are you telling me if you shot that at the table and the CB went the way it did, you wouldn't think to yourself "I think I fouled"?

Wood in custom cues vs Production models.

No, yes, maybe, it depends...
What Rodger is proposing is possible but requires one to be very selective of the process and the wood itself. Can you cut down a tree and turn it into a shaft in the same day? Not likely without some warp ... But if you cut that tree into slabs and let it dry a few months, then cut those slabs into turning stock and let it sit awile longer, then take that turning stock and process it into tapered dowels close to finished size, and let it rest before finishing to a final shaft...
Then yes, you can cut a shaft in a day....
But, you better know your wood !! Tight, straight grained, well seasoned wood is a must for a shaft that could survive for generations...

I have said all that I need to say about this.
Things will become clear when the shaft is released for sale.
Have a good day

2025 Reyes Cup, Oct 16-19, Manilla. Team Asia vs Team World

I wouldn't say he turned them into juggernauts but he turned them into winners.

"A very solid coach" seems a bit of an understatement seeing as he was the first coach to help USA win in 2018 since........................ 2009. That in itself is pretty major. USA was on a 8 year losing streak.

I agree with Darren Appleton, teams don't need a coach, they need a leader. He mentioned Johan being upset with them if they were late to practice or woke up late and stuff like that, I think that's one thing that's missing, the discipline factor. It was treated like a real prestigious event with the utmost importance and urgency. I just don't see the hunger or dedication from anyone on team ROW maybe except for Moritz due to youth.

Agreed. Nice post.

Looking for Ebony into BEM Cue

One shaft.... I have a pretty good idea of what you want, but if you have any specifics let me know.
Out of the ebony/bem cues you posted, that Dufferin on the far right caught my eye.

I will add for clarity.

I would really be into a traditional 5/16 x 14 piloted joint at 0.840

Stainless is cool, imitation ivory is cool. I dig the way Sly does it. I will consider ivory but I am really careful about that.

If a Joss/Stroud/Scruggs shaft fits that's excellent. Plain black collar is excellent.

I do love dashed rings so I might be sold on that, especially if matched to the old Joss diamond catalog dashed rings.

Basically a plain jet black ebony into BEM. Full or half splice. If half splice, black wrap. I do dig an old school Delrin butt cap.

Definitely no kind of ring at the A joint.

There are variations I might like. Key thing is it must fit the collection I posted.
