    Nice shooting by Tyler. No mistakes and a very consistent break.

    Apa nationals and pressure

    Have to agree. I played in the finals in Vegas with a team representing Broooklyn, NY back in the 90s. Though I was only a 6, I was the top player on the team, and they relied on me. Pressure had me missing shots I never missed back then, and I consider myself pretty cool-headed. It's a tough...

    Rhino 'Time' and 'Time Crystal' tips

    Just wanted to update my post now that my Rhino has arrived with the leather brown tip. It does have that clear layer, like the Time does - but it's clearly a multi-layer leather tip. Plays great. It's a much harder tip than the Tiger sniper I'm using on my Katana 3 shaft. I'm enjoying playing...

    Rhino 'Time' and 'Time Crystal' tips

    I'll find out in a couple of weeks. Heading on vacation for 2 weeks and the shaft is arriving while I'm gone.

    Rhino 'Time' and 'Time Crystal' tips

    That's indeed what I'll do, but I'm simply interested in the different tips. In the end, I agree completely that it doesn't matter at all. I'll either like it or I won't, and I'm perfectly capable of changing the tip myself.

    How do LOW-COST CARBON FIBER SHAFTS Perform Compared to the Best?

    I just purchased a 12.5 Rhino from coolbilliards on ebay, as I didn't like the 11.9mm I had. Here is a picture of the tip. I asked coolbilliards what brand the tip was, as he described it as a Premium Multi-Layer Leather (medium) tip. He responded that it is a time crystal with multi-layer...

    Gorst dishes on US Open, lopsided prize funds, long race with Filler

    I agree with so much of your post, but I'm confused by this section. Finland is generally considered to be one of the most expensive places to live in Europe. Why would he have fewer financial burdens than a US-based player? I'll admit I don't know anything about his lifestyle. Does he not rent...
