    Traditional wood shafts making comeback?

    Bought mine here in China, but I have had an extensive look at their online presence (which like lots of Japanese sites, is quirky, weird and offers some great mistranslation). Their product is top notch. I am sure it makes lots of people pretty happy.

    What's the rule on players talking during a match?

    Depends how serious the game is, and how long you want to take running your chops… I’d probably tell you to shut it after a while (unless we are practicing or playing small like the light fee or something)

    Beautifully made. Just wasn’t for me.

    Pinky on or off during stroke.

    Pinky does what pinky does. I barely think about him at all.

    Show me your wrapless cues

    Yes, it's absolutely lovely. I've not seen a more beautiful wood (but maybe it's a bit like a parent talking about their wonderful child here :ROFLMAO:). Both maple shafts hit nicely, though the 12.75 takes it over the 13 - cleaner, nicer taper and a little more flex. When I do use it, I...

    Traditional wood shafts making comeback?

    Yes, a few. KUH 'Fuhjin' and 'Raijin' (one is composed like 314 of multiple wood layers, one is a hollowed solid maple). I had a 'Fuhjin' - it taught me just how much LD is not for me. It led me into my 'can I have a hit with your cue?' phase of testing... like 4138268310437 cues... there are...

    This is one of my favorite threads I've started. Thanks for sharing all of the beautiful wood, long may this thread keep collecting images! :love: Here's my Larry V. Not my main player, but she comes out once or twice a month.

    Is Temu's $8 Kamui Black cue tip the same as PoolDawg's $27 Kamui Black?

    Actually, you can buy the exact same products, minus branding, for next to nothing... It’s been advertised a lot here recently since all this tariff bollocks. Lots of independent traders advertising factory access to buy luxury brands for nothing. Really demonstrates the concept of ‘value’ and...

    Ridiculous 8-Ball Losing Shots

    In the instance mentioned he scratched and made the 8. So was specifically talking about that instance, and that is Interesting to know. Though I don't play a lot of American 8ball. Would love to see it played on 9ft/4" cornered Rasson tables with a universal rule set though!

    Ridiculous 8-Ball Losing Shots

    Oh really? Is that universal? I've seen 8 on the break as a win, loss and most commonly re-spotted (which is how it should be, and how anyone I know or play with plays). I was under the impression that this was unless the 8 and cue ball are made on the break, resulting in a loss. There are no...

    Ridiculous 8-Ball Losing Shots

    pretty universal to be a loss of game when you scratch and make the 8 in the same shot is it not?

    Traditional wood shafts making comeback?

    You think? Many snooker players play with their own cue, badged up with whatever sponsor they like. Cricketers do the same, they have tons of customs bats, stickers with whoever pays them. I don't see that being much different in the pool world. I know Chinese-8 and American table pros...

    Looks like you are getting your pool movie....

    Second this. Quirky, weird film maker, for a game played by a bunch of quirky, autistic weirdos like us lol

    UK Open 2025 Telford, UK, May 6-11

    I'd love to see Wang Hung Hsiang or Lu Hui Chan (two TW journeymen with great attitude, style and determination) do something. A lot of the TW players were on the fence when committing to put the money into travel, so I'd like to see them make the most of it. Both very capable. Like watching...

    New 'dope' for Predator junkies...... the 'Centro'

    Live in China, and I can't find one that's 12.9 - Every seller I find on Xianyu, or WeChat is the same as I mentioned before. How interesting.

    New 'dope' for Predator junkies...... the 'Centro'

    Many c8 I see here in China are between 11.8 and 12.2. Seen some 12.4 and 12.6. Never seen a 12.9.

    Wrap Q

    How's that look? What's it like for colour? I think natural would look good. I can imagine it being a very tactile and comfortable material At the moment, I am thinking Navy and white Irish linen. Just looking for a nice one to buy for my cue guy to use.
