please stop saying she'll "beat" cancer, or that this is a fight she will/can win. cancer sucks,, no matter how strong you are. plenty of strong people have been diagnosed with cancer and died. in short, in the community of cancer survivors, very few like the idea of espousing support around...

BUT WE HAVE FREEDOMS!! ... ..oh, you have freedoms in Scandinavia too? .. well shit.

entertaining dave! thanks!

I always appreciate your insights. given the recent surge of interest in long cues, with permanent mid extensions and (also permanent) rear extensions, would you mind doing a segment at some point about the pros/cons?

bro, you gotta get on that stretch routine.

without trying to make this yet another covid thread, the medical experts have been on the money about the increases in the number of cases, and given that there's still a large portion of our population that choose to remain both defiant and willfully ignorant, it's only going to get worse from...

I think you may be overly sensitive to what may ultimately be of little to no consequence. Do the differences really make a difference for ya? What is the difference between 12.3mm to 12.65-7 to you? How is that going to affect your game play? IMO, focus on whether or not you feel you can be...

Thanks! I'll check the thread for updates. I personally like playing with a harder tip, so I'm curious to hear how the Black plays with a tip on the firmer side.
