Shane Thompson? 😛

Thanks for the review. I had been looking at one of these for the same reasons. I think the tips on these lower end Chinese ones are usually Bakelite. I hate phenolic tips for a variety of reasons and think the Bakelite is pretty similar. I'm wondering how the cue ball control is with like a...
