I have a couple small pipe wrenches here that will prove 3/8x7.5 is the same as 3/8x8 :D and by the way, the "snug" fit makes this cue "hit like a monster".

I’ve struggled a little with dry eyes since I had LASIK. MN winters can be brutal. Outside the air is cold and dry then walk inside and get hit by a forced air furnace…. After the new year when I have my next eye exam I’ll see if she’ll give me a prescription for the Vizz drops. I was hoping...

So you’re saying you haven’t tried any corrective eye drops?

Someone else may have more info, but my experience is that radial pins can get a little tricky. As an example, I have a cue from Philippine maker Luisto Valo that has a "radial" pin. The minor diameter is slighty larger than a uniloc radial and most shafts won't fit it, but the plastic radial...

I'm pretty certain she doesn't play pool.

It might be helpful to know the cue maker.

These aren't like that. short story they make your pupils smaller for about 6-8 hours making a pretty big improvement to near vision. Similar to looking through a pin hole. this video discusses it.

Just curious if anyone has tried any of the eyedrops that are supposed to help with blurry vision (presbyopia)? Vizz seems to be the most popular brand but there are other on the market. If you have used them, was it helpful? Did you put them in one or both eyes? If just one, was it your...

Maybe take a moment to read up on how the Mosconi Cup got started and who runs it. Americans didn't make the decision to "take on" anyone.

One doesn't have to be able to afford something to appreciate what it is. In many cases the opposite is true. If everyone could go out and buy a Ferrari, it wouldn't be any more special than a Ford or Chevy.

I think you are the first person I've ever heard suggest that a stainless joint made for a "crisper" hit. I've always likened it to filling the handlebars of a '72 Sportster with lead shot. Adding mass to change frequency and lower amplitude.

Looks like the 8 ball has 52 teams. Groups A through M had 4 teams each. https://league.ultimatepoolusa.com/leagues/UPLGRANDFINALS/competitions/18902 For whatever this is worth they had 720 players there. Not sure how that breaks down into different teams and events...

I played a summer session of UPL and really enjoyed it. I would keep playing it, but there is no local league and driving 110 miles one way in a MN winter didn't look appealing, so I opted not to play the fall/winter sessions. I will likely play again next summer if I can. At the amateur...

My understanding is most of the changes have been to what's on the inside. The V4 uses two different density foams separated by a poly/rubber like plug. I can't remember his name now, but the guy who gave me a tour of Jacoby's shop was pretty open about how their stuff is constructed. If you...

Not defending or accusing, just curious, how well do you know the other guy? Perhaps he has some history of questionable outcomes with the folks at Salotto and that's why they questioned your match outcome?
