I have been talking to Pete Jr. over the last few weeks and I picked out one of his finished full-splice blanks. It will be a simple hoppe player, no inlays except for some small diamonds at the lower splice points. It has an ebony handle into a rosewood forearm. Now, I just have to wait a...

Nice!!

That rack is too thick for 14.1, I bought one of the $20 thinner racks, and it works perfectly for straight pool- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005GVJQGM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 -dj

I have dropped a ball a number of times when racking, Aramith Tournament. So far, no damage to ball or tile, fingers crossed!

Our house had tile throughout, so we left it. Clean look, and very stable. -dj

I have two Dinko cases and I had him add a pouch for me-

These two are as nice as you can get: https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/fs-brand-new-dinko-2222-2-x-4-fancy-sunburst-hustler-case-built-to-last-a-lifetime.554528/ https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/fs-brand-new-dinko-2222-hustler-style-2-x-4-case-built-to-last-a-lifetime.554521/ -dj

What a beautiful case! I have two of Dinko's cases already and the workmanship and leather quality is the best! Good luck with your sale- -dj

This is my pattern as well -dj

I ordered a Hsunami shaft last year, and specified the weight at 3.9. It came in at 3.91. -dj

I had the Championship 30/30 installed last September, and it was really slidey for a couple of months. Was normal after that. I have the same experience, the 30/30 cloth is faster and does wear better than the Simonis 860 which came on the table when shipped. -dj

"Now I can get a good night's sleep!"

In competition, I never do. Anyone can win a game of 8 ball, much too easy to lose if you don't play your best game always. In practice, sure, it's fun to mess around. -dj

I have never seen anyone do this in my life- -dj

You have to lift the slate to adjust the rail bolts?!?! That is insane-

I bought V10 for home use Feb 2, 2022. It is over a year old and is barely used. Worth every penny, plus, cleanest chalk ever! -dj

I have owned a couple and hit with many SW cues. The hit was pretty much different in all cases. Some were stiff, some were very soft, some in between. As Bob noted, the shaft, ferrule, and tip have much more to do with the hit than the type of wood in the butt. -dj

Most times I use no english on kick shots. I only use it when I have to widen or shorten the angle of the return off the rail- -dj

I played on one of the 7 footers at the Tournament site at the Rio for 90 minutes and it played fine, although the cloth was slow in my opinion. I don't like the looks much, and think they are overpriced. -dj

I practiced on one of the 7 foot tables yesterday, and this is the case. The rails rebounded quickly, but the cloth was slow but didn't seem too worn. -dj
