And there we have a definitive answer. Thank you Now, seeing his answer, it makes me wonder. What were/are the better lot numbers?

Can anyone tell me for certain what the 1701 on this shaft means? I had found an old post where someone said it notes the year, and quarter it was made (2017, Jan-March). While this could be the case, Joss sells 2 that are numbered 1601 on their website. Is it possible they're still selling...

First, Yes, I did a search. There's one for sale locally, and wondered if it's worth looking at? I can't find much info online. I have seen a few threads on here saying (correct me if I'm wrong) the quality is very good. But, one thing I haven't seen is the prices (I looked the Facebook page as...

Seeing this thread made me look at mine. Thankfully, it's still fine. I'm also not a strong breaker and still have my wood shaft as a backup. MY issue is, I don't play at a level where I can justify paying $650+ for a dedicated break cue, even though the ones I have used are amazing

How can you tell the 'pre-EBAY' version vs the newer ones?

I see the sarcasm, but you're not wrong. We have a 2 that's a true 2. Every shot is 'hard'. She played another 2 in 9 ball. That's only a 14/14 race. The match took 29 innings.

In league play, we let stuff go...except timeouts, at the beginning. If it tends to become habit that match, we use a cellphone stopwatch. The problem is, who's going to enforce it? During tournaments, you can get the TD. But, during league, there's nobody We had playoffs to make TriCup. Our...

We had an issue with a player on the other team on Saturday. Both players are 7's, but their player was taking forever. Even on 'routine' shots. It got to the point we had to notify the TD. He sent someone over to time both shooters. She would shout out '20 seconds' on every shot, whether easy...

I can ask my team captain tonight. But, this is confusing to me, and will hound me all day. Scenario.... APA 8 ball Tricup finals.... 1st match...we win 2-1 2nd match..we lose 0-2 3rd match...we lose 0-2 So, we're down, score is 2-5 Here's where I'm confused 4th match...we throw a 5, they throw...

Since i never played league before, i have nothing to compare it to. The only rule that I really don't like is that 'push out' shots are not allowed in 9. I don't mind marking it. But, don't tell me you're OK with calling the 8 ball, and then pretend to be busy when it's my turn.

I always knew the APA rule was to mark the pocket. When I first started playing league, my team manager would yell to me to mark the pocket, even as I was reaching for my marker. Last night I played a guy, and he was on the 8 ball. He called his pocket, and I acknowledged that I saw it. After...
