And yet, most of them don’t…

I have a small collection of cues, I like them all. The shaft is what most important to me, other things that the butt contribute are things that I can get used to very fast. For years I only played with a Predator 314 shafts and except for a few cues, I have a 314 shafts to fit most of them...

Look at the Jacoby case https://jacobycustomcues.com/JacobyCMS/jacoby-pro-shop/712-silver-fox-20-butterfly-case.html

Good video Send it to the referee

It doesn’t have to match the table as the Taom chalk and similar brands don’t leave marks. I have a gray Turning Point chalk, it’s nice but softer than the Taom and the Pagulayan https://www.amazon.com/TP7500-Chalk-TurningPoint-Professional-Billiard/dp/B0DKN92LJN?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1

The ref called it frozen, you can see in the video that he bumps his fists to call it

ouch... You can probably repair it but it'll probably never hit and feel the same, especially mentally. I wonder what abuse it took to break it like that.

If I'm not mistaken, Marcel is part of the WPA rules committee, he should have known better

because it's very rare to shoot it like that and probably most ref's never had to rule on such shot so if it was me, before shooting, I would make sure that the ref knows the rule

Not a foul! Ref should study the rules but the player is an idiot

I disagree a bit here. Yes, we should be happy that we have a place to play, BUT it’s not for free… we pay good money per hour and expecting decent equipment and maintenance is pretty basic.

I was pretty impressed with the Little Monster Jump-Break cue.

At one club that do suffer from this issue of mixed sets, I bring my own set of balls when playing with friends, I used the club sets in league and tournaments as it's too much to deal with to move the balls from table to table and gather them between matches... for those I do carry an Aramith...

I always say "thank you", win or loose. When I loose and my opponent say "good match", I usually replay in a jokingly manner "not good enough"

The combination of Predator 314 shafts and Schon always worked great for me. For my LTD Schon, I "upgraded" the original shaft to a Schon-314 shaft that was available at the time, it has both Schon and Predator logos on it and the joint is a Schon joint which is tighter than a regular 5/16x14...
