Winning or losing a match in Tap, has no impact on skill levels. It is simply your ball count ratio, makes/misses, with defense making a little impact. Extreme example: If you break and run the first rack, break dry next and your opponent runs out and breaks and runs the rest they need, you...

Cuetec makes their shafts in two diameters for their pin. One of the 2 should fit flush but not the other. Helpful and not helpful at the same time. If buying new from Seyberts or another site, they should help, plus they have a good return policy. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

I opened up FB this morning and this pops up. It looks like the way to know what the joint requires...

As far as having the pilots trimmed, the only reason would be if you want to sell a shaft. Even then, the buyer can get it done if they need it. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

Yes. Mezz are tight, but in a different way than the compression fit described here. It is the joint threads, not the pilot. I had an entry level mezz with an ex pro shaft. You could feel the snugness as you tightened on any butt, before the pilot got near the butt. Sent from my Pixel 6a...

I would say that if a pilot is meant to do anything, a snug fit maximizes that thing. I have a Sly with two original shafts that have that compression fit, just as you described. Bought used, it also came with two other shafts that I learned were made later without the butt sent back so the fit...

I would love to see any of the other top players make the trip to Turning Stone Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

The grey being stained is obviously fine. I think (fear) that the points on those cues are paint too. That is a much bigger thing. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

I recommend you sign up through another party rather than directly from dazn. Subscriptions are easy to manage on Apple products and probably similar in Android too. It is harder to pull shenanigans like a cancelation fee. For this year, I could clearly see that I had service through January 5...

If you paid 19.99, you likely did pay for the annual plan. To go month to month, it costs $25. I subscribed through iTunes on my iPad and immediately cancelled, as they require 30 days notice. It looks like I was successful too. I appreciate the Mosconi Cup starting later so I could watch...

A typical amateur does spend money on their hobby, pool included. I'm watching the Turning Stone tournament right now and you rarely see a fancy cue in the top player's hands. There is a lot of carbon shafts but the butts are not fancy. If your hypothetical poor person can enter a tournament...

No photo or it didn't happen. Lol. At least a link. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

If you aren't from NY, trust me, you can't wipe your ass without the state government involved. Plus, I did an internship for a state legislator in the years before Turning Stone opened. The Indian chief even visited the office. NY was very involved in trying to stop it. Sent from my Pixel 6a...

I can be wrong, but I think the loophole that allowed them to open this casino in the first place was that NYS allowed table games in charity situations. They are likely subject to a finite list of acceptable offerings. This wouldn't be on any such list. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

If they can't get their cut, they don't want it Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

They don't post early to prevent calcuttas/player auctions from happening. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

Matches start at 4pm Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

I would be interested in your opinion of them. I'm a sucker for that classic look. Would an old It's George cue be a better choice than, say, a Joss or a new Adam/ Balabuska branded cue? Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

As I stand in line at TAP events, there is a basic look of pool players. I think we probably match that. The Uber driver who picked me up in Vegas predicted my buddy and I were poker players from the way we walked and talked. I'm sure the Venn diagram of pool and poker has a ton of overlap...

I doubt the future pro is playing APA as you rarely have a sub-21 year old playing, but what holds pool back in the US is the idea that "I'm not going to play in this competition with X o to Y playing." People concede they are never going to get better so that is what happens. Maybe the people...
