The future of pool?

It is depressing that, in order to make money, you have to target your product to the masses that won't stand for anything challenging. Pins on strings? Nobody cares, bring more alcohol.
The strings on pins thing is perplexing. A bowler wants to throw strikes, they say strings reduces strike frequency, to me that means less fun for the bowlers. Are they intentionally trying to chase bowlers away??

Schon TACTiQ cue extension, may have stumbled across something....


I've been trying to find a screw on extension for my Schon cues for some time with limited success. I found this item on Seyberts billiards site. My challenge was I didn't want to give up my current weight bolt, (or alter the weight of the cue) to get an extension.

This TACTiQ system uses their weight bolt/bumper system that gives you 1oz, 2 and 3 oz options. My current weight bolt and bumper/screw weighs 1.80 oz total. I'm pretty certain I can use their 2oz bolt/bumper assembly and be good.

You can get 3, 6, 9 and 12" extensions and they are stackable. This appears to be what I was looking for and think I'll give one a try but thought I'd post to see if anyone has used this on a Schon and how they liked it. Also, maybe this info will help someone out.

Thanks for any replies.
Cool system. Cheaper than the TigerX I've been using.

Justin Bergman vs Tom Cousins

That's how I'd define pattern play. If you can run out with minimal cue ball movement and all easy shots, your patterns are real good. I can't remember which event it was, but I seem to remember watching Tom Cousins carry his ~450 fargo partner deep in the mixed doubles tournament a few months back.
If moving across the shot line instead of along the shot line I probably wouldn't call minimal movement the "better" of the two. I have also seen Cousins settle for harder shots while keeping cue ball movement minimal. I think there's more to pattern play than minimal cue ball movement.
