Another vote for Oscar for #5.

Shane's tip at the world 8ball appeared mushroomed in the close-ups they showed in his matches. Must not matter as much as we think. My current traveling tip tool is the AB Earth cuboid. If you're careful, it does most things very well.

How often is Gigantor jacked up? Dude's tall as a tree. For me, I don't think he factors in the top three unless his break is on -really on. imo, he lacks the firepower to shoot his way out of a rack like some others do. Perhaps his consistency makes up for that. Shane has the firepower but...

Things have probably changed in the 13 years since that was posted.

I wonder if Aramith is the only company with this problem. Early this year, I purchased a new set from a different manufacturer and have experienced some problems with them that are described on the page you linked.

There are matches where it looks like Shane straight-up doesn't care. His demeanor, slouching in his chair, rushing of his shots, etc. make it look like he just wants to go home and fish (or anything besides play pool). This is just one man's observation, but there has been more than one...

That was my point. Duds are still popular btw.

Wow that's awesome. I remember your post about your match with Albin. Since I moved east I am not far from Derby, so I'll be trying that one as soon as time allows. Maybe the Open in a couple/few more years. Hope all is well in SV and the Old Pueblo. I miss you guys.

I'll bet Tyler would play Mike for $$$. There is no way Mike will get back to his top level in time for any match in the next 6 months even if he tried. Tyler stays in action and has had a pretty good year. Prime Mike beats current Tyler but that is not a real possibility.

A few years ago the US Mosconi Cup team was asked this question and all but one said "milk dud". I wish I had saved that snippet for future reference. I will not be sifting through all the MC videos to find it again. It's funny a world champ cares less about his tip than bangers like us.

Didn't JFlowers just come out with a new CF shaft they claim is the latest and greatest? They have the BRKR break cue and a jumpy. Anyone rolling out a decent playing cue should want someone like Fedor to be clubbing the competition with their product. As others have mentioned, it's probably...

US Shane Earl Buddy Nick Johnny EU Darren Neils Jayson (list is long for the last 2... I can't choose) ETA Euro list #4 and #5 sjm nailed it in post below.

Will a mod please delete this thread? It is useless and I am tired of seeing it needlessly bumped to the top of the forum. If not, is there a way for members to hide a thread? No one cares.

Wildcard playoff! Oscar VS Shane. $15-30k ITM.

Shaw is a pos and had he not gotten safe every time he missed a ball in that match it would have been over long before that classless act.

I'm talking about the 5th spot. Styer in the 4th spot is a no-brainer. 1. Fedor 2. Shane 3. Skyler 4. Tyler 5. ??? (I say Oscar)

I've been saying Oscar for months now. Oscar and Shane have had results this year that put them in the running. I would pick Oscar because he seems more consistent.

Seriously! HTF did that seem like the right shot? Stretched out, jacked up, for a combo that did not even guarantee winning the rack. The safety that followed was just as bad. That match was a long list of horrible safeties and poorly hit balls. If ever a loss was deserved, it was that one...

Just now seeing this. I tried to buy one last year but they were out of stock until April iirc. I went another route but still wish I could have had some table time with this cue.

Shane's defensive/safety game is worse than mine in this tourney. Terrible decisions coupled with poor execution. You pretty much have to try to give up the advantage to come out his badly.
