Congratulations, I want one but my wife wants a furniture style table. Drop pockets, love them.

From a purely aesthetic standpoint, I always thought furniture style tables were ugly and gaudy. IDK if it's just a boy vs girl thing? Or just my personal opinion haha

If you step up to the table, you have to be able to pay.

You can get your tip better if you get the single bevel Japanese blade. It's ballooning out now, because you used sandpaper to trim its sides. You can also get it perfectly concentric because you will be slicing a tiny portion at a time, and using the ferrule for alignment.

I'm actually surprised you didn't damage the ferrule, especially if you started with 60 grit paper.

I used to do cue repairs for about 10 years, from 2000 to 2010 or so, until I moved and packed the lathe away. I haven't set back up in all these years. I've shaped my own tips the past few years using a single bevel Japanese blade for $12 on amazon, and a 3d printed half circle length about 6" long I made with 150 grit sandpaper held to it. I use the blade to slice the sides going around in a circle. It takes a few times around to get it really good. It honestly looks as good as when I was doing it with a lathe and a utility knife blade. If cost and quality is your main motivation, that's about $20 in parts that you can do a LOT of tips with

he thinks justin is better?

I like Justin. He seems to have gotten a little giddy up recently, has some new sponsors and wants to see how far he can go. Has good support from his family and friends.

Justin was acting very confident when Mike asked him about the match at the USA Nationals. They both have been playing in the Ultimate Pool USA tournaments for the last couple of years. So both are very familiar with the equipment. Justin said he was surprized that Tom took the match. Hmm? I've got Justin in a close one.

That's considered the greatest 9 ball performance of all time.

Now if it were happening on a regular basis, it would raise questions.

Bump

The USPS, of course, is a government institution. What institution that the government runs operates efficiently?

I think I agree with you, what would trigger the 15 second clock to start??? I don't think there is a time limit on the match.

The 15 seconds only comes into play during the final 10 minutes of a tournament match. Since this is a money game, I would imagine both players agreed to no match clock. Justin certainly doesn't want it to be a 15 second shot clock.

Im still waiting to see a tournament where everybody is running out the set, hell, show me a single match(race to 9) where somebody ran out the set without a miss or safe and think long and hard about how often it happens and how dumb all of you "run out the set, 9 ball is broken" dummies sound
