How does the deflection do compared to those 3 shafts? Notice any differences?

Honestly i don't pay attention to it and don't think it matters that much. There's so many variables when i switch between those cues that there's really no point.

Action full fingers. Wash it in the sink with hand soap and warm water. Only use it with graphite, no glove with wood.

Ctran's link above has the scores. Or check Absolute Pool.

Aranas has been splendid. Chua, to me, looks even better. Ferrer started to break out last year and could become a top Pinoy if he keeps playing like this.

I have not seen Orcullo play so well since the pandemic. Jumped out 6-0 on Krause and made very few mistakes. Won 9-4. His break was spotty, and his jumping is just so-so. But pattern play, positioning and ball pocketing - all top notch.

I didn't see him in his prime, but he looked the part last night. He is 47, though, and the clock is running ...

Only thing I could think of to watch out for when doing it, if you don't cut the wrap groove deeper to account for the finish height over the linen, you're gonna end up with a ridge over the wrap section.

So if the idea is to just re-fresh the current linen and clear over it, I think that'd present a ridge.

Removing old linen, adding depth to wrap channel to account for say 3 thou clear on either side, re-wrap linen, clear over, should be glass smooth.

Thanks for the reply
That one looked a little like elephant ear to me

Thanks for the reply.
The cloth is not lifting, I believe you may be seeing the shadow from the rails.
The red alligator leather, I will pull those nails and could glue it in place?
For the leather pocket “fingers”, there is no underside to tack them to, I could use something like what bigkahuna did with his jockstrap leathers, see below.
