If you do not have a lathe, the best tool to get is a Willards tipping machine.
All other tools either require tremendous amounts of time to perform the task correctly, or sometimes are limited to their design and will just never get it right.
I agree with what Str8-Shots is doing and that is rebuilding a reputable image for pool, one that rewards good sportsmanship and leadership. (Maybe you all can take a look at their website and what they do for juniors and other teams).
This has nothing to do with them wanting to cut in on a TAR...
Is part of the reason because the match is being recorded for ESPN by accustats?
That's the reason I was given during the 1P-Invitational when I asked for fewer shots of the players faces and more overhead of the tables...
In my opinion these things should be disclosed before you sell PPV...
