Who made the shaft and would you sell it separately?

I've actually never played with a shaft, carbon, kielwood, or regular wood that has been lower deflection than the Z3 and the OB Pro+ shafts that I usually play with. Most recently I tried a Mezz Ignite 12.2 and it deflected a tad more. The vantage should definitely deflect more than the 314...

I've seen delays for up to 2 months for results from Digital Pool to show up in Fargo rate. No idea why there's so much variance in processing times, but be prepared to wait a week at least for updates.

Last event I played, I got third and didn't tip (didn't realize this was a thing). Got a text from the TD saying "don't forget to tip next time". Looked up some old threads on here and it looks like tipping 5-10% is reasonable, does that sound right? And is that % of tournament winnings or...

Funny how these threads get real quiet once Mike drops some actual data.

Why wouldn't he use what he's always used or wants to use? Do you really think he's thinking "oh man, I could switch it up and make that Moe Szyslak guy on AzB look like a real idiot"?

These are some of the most insane times I've ever seen for a tournament. Is it always like this? I don't remember matches at previous DCCs even taking this long.

Funny, two days ago, Thorsten and a couple other guys were talking about this scenario in straight pool and how the ruling would likely be an unsportsmanlike foul and a 15 ball penalty and rerack. I would think in both one pocket and straight pool, it would come down to intention. OP clearly...

Mhet Vergara's tournaments in NYC have recently been going to 6+ blind bids and the field sizes are under 40 people 😂

I got a response - no money added, payouts based on participation numbers.

$250 entry per event. Winner gets an entry into the world championship and "travel support", whatever that means.

Does anyone know the money payouts for this tournament? I wrote in to the TD but he only mentioned the world championship entries and no details about the payouts. I'll need to follow up with him soon.

The DCC is filled with a bunch of C and D players. A 600 Fargo with some luck on their side will make it much farther than just a round or two.

Likely a Taiwanese player as many of them still use Southwest. Ko Pin Yi won the 2018 China Open (definitely a major) with a Southwest.

OB also had a "Fusion" line with the same idea.

I think .840 but not too picky

Bump

It's in better condition than I expected. The shaft has an ivory ferrule and is less warped than expected, but still unplayable as described. The butt has a tiny roll in forearm that doesn't affect play. Other than four tiny dings (1mm or less) that go through the finish, the rest of the cue is...

Is the NY and CA exclusion due to ivory restrictions?
