Are your Tuesday night matches showing up yet even? It's often 5-7 days before I see my recent matches show up in Fargo. But it's not uncommon for a rating to move a point or two just randomly like that. I've had mine move by a point when I haven't played at all but it's never more than a...

Is this true? Is a v5 coming that soon? Nice if so, I’ll grab one for sure

This is interesting, especially the J Flowers results because I kinda feel like my Jacoby Black v4 shaft does the same. Very low deflection at slow speed but has noticeably more deflection at higher speed. I'd be curious to see if it had similar results if you're ever able to test one of them...

Got the Taom one but haven't used it, I would say I'm not impressed in the quality or size just based on messing around with it at home. Thought maybe it'd be a good option but basically decided to not even bother after handling it. Just gonna stick with carrying it from table to chair in my...

Haha, I hadn't noticed "Default style slightly grayer" before, that name cracks me up. I'm a "Shades of grey" fan myself. The inconsistency in the spelling of gray/grey bugs me though.

I would just stick with the V10. It's so much cleaner anyway I doubt you'll find it leaving much in the way of marks on the grey cloth. I use blue V10. There is one room I hit up occasionally that has grey cloth and every table has a sign saying to use their grey chalk but I and plenty of...

This is helpful, I often defaulted to "good match" win or lose but it always feels weird when I win. Often if it's a loss I'll say "good shooting" or "well played" or something. But recently I've started using "good shooting with you" or "good playing with you" when I win and I think I'm...

If I was gonna spend that kind of money on a cue then a Tasc would be at the top of the list of options I’d be considering. It’s the only cue I’ve ever really wanted to try that I haven’t yet. Is it a good idea to spend $5k+ on what will likely be a closet cue…maybe not, that’s your call. But...

So you're talking about a jump cue and not just a short cue for use in tight places? I keep my jump cue in my case. I have a 2x5/3x4 JB interior in my King case and it works perfect for this, I use the left and right main butt slots for my playing and break butt and then 2 playing shafts...

Finally got around to trying a glove I've been interested in for a while, these Kamui quick dry ones with no extended cuff. I wear a watch on my left hand and the extended cuff on most gloves gets in the way and is very annoying to me. I've typically just cut that portion off but it always...

I swear pool is on an upswing. Just anecdotally, I've been going to the same place for about 15+ years now. It's a small half restaurant and half pool area near to but not in the downtown area of a college town. I used to be able to roll in on any Saturday or Sunday afternoon and have at...

Yeah, you can paint carbon fiber no problem. Those are finished and if you look at the inside of the tubes you'll see they're black...because that's the color of carbon and the color layer is just a surface finish.

Yeah, that ^ Carbon fibers are typically black, I work in an industry that uses carbon heavily and it's all pretty much black under any sort of finish. So the shafts are black because of the material and the ones that aren't (like the Whyte ones in woodgrain or white finish) have a finish of...

Is the taco truck still out front of the Schon shop? Haven't stopped by there in quite a few years but got some good tacos from that truck last time I swung by

None really at this time. Found a setup that is working well for me and that I really like, no desire to change. I guess South West since I'm on the list and my name will probably come up in like 5-8 more years, but currently no other plans until then.
