Have AZBilliards decided on selling shoulder cloth patches for players!

Bavafongoul
$25 is too low……what if you doubled the price? This isn’t meant to be a revenue stream but to cover all expenses and a small profit. IMO, you can make the shirt $59.99 but offer a high quality material and cotton is not the best material. Heck, I can buy T-shirts at Kohls for $12 that are not all cotton which tends to wrinkle coming out of the dryer. You need a blended fabric and it drapes your body better than cotton and is more breathable material. I think if you offer shirts in the $30 range, the apparel will not be high quality. BTW, Hanes and other comparable brands is not a high quality shirt.

Dr. Dave came up with some clever designs and I have several of his shirts. The same applies to his T-shirt material. Today affordability is the driving theme because things have become so cumulatively expensive for consumers. It does not mean people won’t pay a little bit more for things. It does suggest that buyers are more discerning so offer a higher quality shirt and they will come. I understand there’ll be less buyers but the mission will be get accomplished. So instead of buying 3-4 for $100 you’d only wind up with 2 shirts but they’d look and wash better and you’d wear it more often. If you did a really nice shirt, I’d pay more than $50…..with tax and shipping I’d pay up to $65 for a shirt.

Don’t make the mistake of justifying the price. Things cost more today because of oil prices, tariffs, materials shortages and just stuff beyond everyone’s control. Nonetheless, people will still buy quality over bargain prices when they like and want the item. It is the same with cues, cases and in this case, it’s pool apparel or specifically, Az pool shirts.

Dbl butterfly silver leaf dufferin?

phinmole said:
Are you saying there are plenty of ebony dufferin butterfly on BOTH sides around? I am very confused by your comment. If Im reading it correctly you are dead wrong.
Click to expand...
I saw an old one piece Ebony Dufferin with butterfly points on both sides at my local pro shop. I was interested in buying and converting. I then rolled it and it had a big wobble. Maybe all in the shaft don't know. The cue looked like it had sun damage as the ebony looked worn and discolored.
I have an older 1 piece Ebony I bought years ago was going to convert still deciding. Others converted by Mueller. Also have 3 new Ebony Excalibar with Glider joint for sale on here.

Paul Frankel's 3C Challenge Shot Contest for Pool Players

billiardshot
Some PDF, Old PQB Magazines articles, and instructions for Paul Frankel's 3C Challenge Shot Contest for Pool Players. Info should be/ can be found USBA website. But I'll just some here:

Here is a short recap of how the 3-Cushion Billiard Shot Contest works
3-Cushion Shot Contest Format:
There were 8 diagram shots. Each player shoots each of the 8 shots 3 times (24 shots total). Each shot is worth 2 points (48 pts max) and the total number of points wins. Three small round dots (stick-ons) are placed on the table, which represented the exact placement of the diagrammed shots. All players had the same shot and same placement of the 3 balls. Then the dots are removed and replaced for the next shot selection.


Special Note: After each shot a player takes a straight rail carom shot as the balls come to rest. If they make it, it is worth 1 point and added to their previous scores. This means that the maximum possible score will be 72 points if they made every shot.
