Let's all take a moment this weekend to pay homage and give tribute with thanks to those who paid the ultimate price so that we still have the freedoms we enjoy today and mostly take for granted.
Like posting opinions on this forum. We all know of countries where your opinion can get you killed. Even in this age of advancement and sophistication.
Thank you to those fallen and unsung heroes.

Mark Magi is about 26 years old, affectionately called Magic Mark.
He's also a top level snooker player in Estonia.
Mark has teamed up with fellow Estonian Denis Grabe, representing Estonia together on the international stage, particularly at the World Cup of Pool.
Here are the key highlights and history of their matchups and partnership:

• World Cup of Pool Success: Grabe and Mägi are a formidable duo for team events, famously knocking out Great Britain (Jayson Shaw and Chris Melling) in a dramatic hill-hill thriller to reach the quarter-finals in 2021.
• Head-to-Head: While often teammates, they have also squared off in singles competition, including at the Hague Masters and the Predator Pro Billiard Series.
• Intense Rivalry: As close teammates and frequent competitors at the Estonian National Championships, they share a highly competitive history that has occasionally led to fiery, passionate moments at the table.

Estonia might be a hotbed of pool and billiards....another version of the Philippines.

I have been "told", so take it for what it's worth that only 3 or 4 manufacturers actually make their own carbon fiber shafts. I'd say Predator is probably the most popular by the number of cues they sell and I heard they don't make their own shafts or even fill them with whatever goes in them, they come that way. May be bologna or may be facts, I don't know. I do have a couple of Revo's but lately I've switched to Mezz. I was told Mezz is one of the manufacturers that make their own carbon fiber and the entire shaft is made by them. I was talking to a cue builder and he said he's fitted just about every brand of carbon fiber shafts for his pin and Mezz was far and away the best one as far as build quality. I do prefer my Mezz shafts to my Revo's but hit is totally subjective. So if someone wants to get a carbon shaft ask as many people at their local pool hall what they play with and ask if they can hit a few balls with it.
