    Yapp winning, with a foul! Just like Maradona making a goal with his hands :D

    I remember that game too, also the soft break was prolific back then. He did amazing well, to finish it, considering how long the review took. Who is to say what would of happened in this final, if it was seen in the arena. A review, or not? With the shot clock still going whats the ref going...

    KO brothers tip review.

    Its like many us have already said, what makes these worth the price? If you did, play this tip in? How well did it hold up? I always thought the ko brothers devolved those tips for there own use, for what they liked in a tip.

    Slow play by pros

    And that would be the same for everybody. Its not like, its a new thing in pool. Tight pockets been around a long time.it seems only last few years, events have been promoted with this idea, that it will make the game better.

    Slow play by pros

    Slow is slow no matter how people try and dress it up. Even some officials watching, the games, must see some matches taking too long. If its part of the game now, i doubt much will change.

    Slow play by pros

    I absolutely agree with you. You watch pool now, The flow and freedom to play is not the same. That is why, i think the game has slowed right down.very hard to watch. 9 ball has always been a pressure game. 9 ball should be an exciting game. But much like watching snooker, with ronnie or Jack...

    Shaft length

    Don't most shafts, start out at 31/32 inch when there brought or been hanging in a shop to stabilize? But if your buying cf or production shafts, i would imagine there is an up charge. Even if its just an inch! I find the best for me is 30inchs.

    With that kind of restoration would you call that? If its not completely original? I just don't know why you would cut those. And one of them i can understand. But Your the expert, they certainly look old.

    And they've been chopped too, Even more sad. If there are real, any historical significance, would be lost. Some had a mace on the other end, some had tips. Could be french, english who knows.

    Soft hitting custom cue maker cues?

    Its also worth remembering the kind of ferrule you use, will also have an effect on the way it feels. Take a melamine for example is going to hit way harder than juma. The feedback you get, will be completely different.

    How to clean wood shaft after every use?

    This is my approach too, except i use micro fibre cloth, maybe twice a week. I'm always playing. like philly said, unless your getting something on the shaft, why would you need to clean them that much? I know some players, don't like the blue staining. I always found the more you play, the...
