Wow, that’s great news.

Would help to see the rest of the cue but pretty sure it's a B400 from 1981. Retailed for $400

When JB split off Instroke, there was “Instroke Germany” and JB’s “Instroke”
I don’t know if anyone bought JB’s Instroke after he started a different brand (before JB cases) or if he just closed it.

One of the reasons they split was that the company wanted to cut corners in his design. I guess what you have there is probably from the German company.

I love the Instroke interior, I think it’s the best protection while keeping the case functional.
Everything on the out side is outdated for today’s players needs.

I still have the first Predator case that JB and his Instroke produced for Predator, my favorite case. I wish there was a current similar case in 3x5 with slight adjustments.
I also have the vinyl 3x7 for storage that I got about 17 years ago, it never left the house and it’s in brand new condition, now issues with latch there

I have lived off & on in Thailand for almost 30 years. I would love to attend this event, but I won't be back til next month.

Several of my friends will be playing in it and are posting on FB.

Should be a great event.

SVB vs Fedor starting now....

Thank you. Not quite what I’m looking for. Nice looking cue though!

there should be sticky naming the hack mechanics & installers.

Don’t need any spots, just mark the table

Alcohol or ethanol is about 35% less energy dense, so it requires about 30-35% more fuel for the same power. It's greatest benefit comes from its knock resistance since it is equivalent to abbout 107 octane. This allows for running higher timing and gaining more power without damaging the engine, but the downside is that you need to be able to supply more fuel. It also has a cooling effect which gives the air fuel mixture a cooler denser charge, so you get more power even without increased timing.

Increased timing. . Is that advanced or retarded?

The simonis spots seem too thin.
I prefer the Master spots because of.
They are a little thicker and cause a deeper natural indent....
The deeper indent/is like a small template, allowing the head ball to be racked slightly high and drop tight on the balls below it.
After awhile, the thicker spot probably protects the cloth below the head ball better.

Master spots are perfection. Simonis spots leave black spots on the ball.
