The primary benefit is energy transfer. More power with less input. The secondary advantage is extremely low deflection. Finally, the dent proof aspect and smoothness is nice. Those are the main reasons anyone cares about the Revo or similar carbon fiber shafts. KMRUNOUT Sent from my...

Players from other states can often play in state championships. That doesn't mean it's now a national event. To paraphrase Jesus...it's better at a gathering to take a lower seat and be asked to move up to a higher position, than to take a higher seat and be asked to move down. The term...

Nah. Wrong. If it was my cue ball, I'd use whatever tip I play with, and I'd play with whatever I feel works best and is legal. Phenolic tips are legal. Just so happened I like the Hammerhead tip, which is not phenolic, but rather thermoset plastic, and is not as hard, and doesn't make those...

Separating the pro events from the amateur events at the Rio was a major mistake. Dramatically diminished my interest in attending the BCA nationals. Probably will hurt both events. That whole hotel casino pool city is a pretty cool thing. I'd bet the BCA attendance is down also. Too bad...

My guess is if you paid $38 for 10 G2 tips, you got fakes. Your description doesn't match my experience at all. I think G2 medium is considerably softer than a Kamui black medium. The softs are close for both. G2 hard is about the same as Kamui medium. I am an authorized installer for G2...

Are they playing with 16 numbered balls? Or did you mean 15 when you typed 16? Or do I not get how it works? KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

Interesting. Definitely don't know that place and it sounds like a hike for me. FYI Crows Nest recovered theirs and they are playing nice. Wish they didn't choose the puke blue (I think it's royal blue lol) given that they only have 7' table lights for their 8 footers, but they are playing...

Wow sound cool. Love the idea of a 10' table. I don't play 14.1, but sounds cool to try. My sister just moved to NC, but I forget where. I think sorta close to Wilmington? Near some marine base. Any idea where I mean, and if so are you close to that? KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using...

Curious where is that place with the 4.25" pockets that play super difficult? Sounds fun!! KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

I have a BK Rush and I think the factory tip is excellent. I've tried a white diamond long ago a time or two and never could warm up to it. I think if I was going to try anything different, it would either be a Samsara (a bit softer than the factory), or the Hammerhead (a bit harder). I'm a...

Old school ferrule materials are definitely heavier than wood. Especially ivory! I believe there are some materials in modern use that may be lighter than wood. But generally all the phenolic and plastic substances are denser than wood. Don't forget that the thickness of the ferrule material...

I'm a bit confused. I don't live in NY and never have. I'm just outside Boston and have been my whole life. Yes, in the case of your comment, northeast would have been more accurate. I think Mika is the only one of that bunch with long term residence in NY. Dechaine basically just took an...

I only know the super traditional classic spliced house cue was the "High Run". I believe this was a variety of woods into maple. Most typically cocobolo and perhaps ebony as well Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

Mika is from Finland, but has lived in NY for a while. Strickland is from NC I think, and only lived in NY briefly. Shaw is from Scotland and lives in CT. Dechaine is from ME and currently lives in NH I believe. Really non of these people are New Yorkers. Mika lived there long enough that...

Have a look at this. Break Tip shootout! Taom, Hammerhead, Zento, and more. https://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=421892 Hope it helps! KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

I like this a lot. Thanks for sharing!! KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

I do maybe 1 or 2 turns with 120 or even 220 sand paper like once every 3 months or something. Removes almost nothing and does the trick. However, I've never particularly felt as though holding chalk was much of an issue on a break cue. Hope it helps, KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using...

Most aftermarket shafts are not "varnished". OB definitely isn't. Extremely smooth wood can look and sometimes feel like there is a coating on the wood somehow. Most use some sort of sealer. I would never in a million years consider playing with a shaft that has a finish on it. Bare wood...

I wonder what OB you have. Having shot plenty with a Meucci Pro, I think every OB shaft has lower deflection except possibly the classic. (White ferrule 12.75mm). The wood ferrule OB's have deflection well less than the Meucci. Also, the Meucci is not solid maple. It is 1 piece, but the end...
