Oops, wrong thread lol. I reposted on the correct tourney:LOL:

An interesting sidenote: All 4 of the Women's semifinalists are using wood shafts, and 3 of the 4 men are too. And FSR (cf Cynergy) is out now. Maybe the less stiff (less powerful) wood shafts give an advantage on these very fast tables? Definitely don't need a powerful cf shaft to move the ball...

I shoot open bridge more than not, so I prefer the front-balanced Joss. But it is definitely a person thing. Try both for a day or two, you'll figure it out!

The folks who live on Pacific islands seem to have the highest concentration of top players, both known and "unknown". Fargorate is neat and all, but there are a ton of unknown studs who aren't "rated". Fedor Gorst just lost 86 to 90, playing 10-ball, to Pinoy Baseth Macoibat on Sharks, for...

This, many times over.

I ditched my contact lenses at around age 47 and only use regular (I'm near-sighted) glasses. I have blurred vision out to about 18 inches but can instead look over my glasses to read/see up close. Bi-focals made too dizzy so I don't use them btw. I have 20/12 corrected vision though and, for...

As I've said a bizzillion times, I'm not anti-carbon fiber. Carbon works well for many people, just not for me or MANY top pros. The final 4 of the UK Open has 3 wood shaft studs in it, and one recently "switched to cf (by Predator)" dominant wood shaft stud user (Josh Filler). Carbon fiber...

You wanna pay $25 for a tip that glazes and is ever-changing, I have no problem with that. And yes, a box of 50 Triangles for $50 only yields maybe a dozen decent tips these days. Pretty simple math tells me a dozen consistent single-layer tips for $50 trumps one $25 layered tip all day long...

As he should lol

I can say unequivocally, IDC.

Layered tips are gimmicky. That said, I only get about 10-15 decent Triangle tips out of a box of 50 these days, but still about 5 times cheaper than layered glue tip crap.

I'm in the mid- no, rear- yes group.

Sniper is a no-go for me. Triangle. Let the chumps use the layered tips lol. Half leather, half glue....

15, 11, 13, 14, 10, 8. Easy peasy!

Lots of good wooden shafts out there, from solid maple to low-deflection. Can't go wrong with any Predator wood ld imo. And don't tell the carbon boys this but three out of the final four UK Open boys are using wood shafts (and the 4th, Josh Filler, dominated the world up until recently with a...
