    Whoops, need more caffeine this morning, I guess.

    Raven or Rhino

    I'm currently using Rhino on a radial and have been pretty happy with it. Only "negative" to me is that the factory tip isn't the best. I replaced it with a Taom Fusion on one and a Caiden Fighter medium on the other. I like the Fighter a bit better. I've ordered a Raven and it should be here...

    Any McDermott Cue Players?

    I've got a CoM M72B from 2007 with an i2 and a Revo that get worked into the rotation from time to time.

    High Tech Version of Pool

    Fair enough, I suppose that's what I'm hoping for out of it.

    High Tech Version of Pool

    It will be interesting if they can incorporate something like AI to show the player how/where to shoot a particular shot. This is interesting mostly because I believe if they can make that work, it would sell more as a training aid outside of this concept. Regardless, if it gets more people to...

    Bull and Whyte Carbon inserts and shafts.

    The joint collar size is on the shaft itself. The inserts do not reach the outer diameter. That said, I don't see a joint collar size on either Seyberts or Triple 60's website. I'd say give Seyberts a call and they can give you a measurement.

    McDermott technology fall behind (butt extension is not in option)

    As Paul noted, there are extensions for McDermott. I have the older style extension (The top picture in Paul's post) and it works fine but takes a bit to screw in versus something like a Predator extension.

    Bullet Proof Polymer Tips

    A buddy has the blue tip installed on a Revo. I've shot it several times and it shoots and holds chalk well. Only thing I found with it was that you had to put a lot more effort into draws but it wasn't anything that couldn't be compensated for. There a ton of people that have the break tips...

    Rhino CF shaft... Yes/No

    That would be my guess. You probably got a 3/8x10 or something like that by mistake. The newer ones should have a thread number next to the tip diameter on the shaft. There are also some variations in pin/threads by the same manufacturers as well from my experience. For instance, I have ~8...

    How many of you steal chalk from the pool hall?

    That's not entirely true. Bring a flashlight next time. At least on the models at my usuall hall, there is a slot on the front of the table and one behind the rack. Look through and you can see where the chalk is. I usually get it out with a house cue.

    How many of you steal chalk from the pool hall?

    I never really "stole" chalk, but with an average $50 bar tab whenever I walked through the door back then I wouldn't have felt bad even if I did. When I used Master, I bought it by the dozen. At worst, I'd swap my chalk for a new one from the pool hall when it got a little worn. I would also...

    Windex

    I'm a fan of IPA lens wipes but any kind of wipe with at least 70% IPA or higher will do. Figure the Revo/Cynergy wipes are just IPA and a fragrance. I clean my shafts using one of those wipes then a microfiber cloth to dry off. I've also used the microfiber and a small spray bottle with 70%...

    Have you ever lost your cue?

    I've never lost one but finding one gained me some new friends. I found a Meucci sneaky pete in the rack at a bar I played league at. A mutual friend saw it the next weekend and said he knew who it belonged to so I gave it back. The owner and I have been friends for nearly 20 years now.

    balabushka

    I know someone who plays league with a Balabushka. He was nice enough to let me hit some balls with it. He told me he played a guy for money in the late 70s and got the cue when the guy couldn't pay up.

    Carbon Fiber Shaft Care...

    I use 70% on my Revo all the time. The difference is that it has a little more water and takes a bit longer to dry. Figure it's ready to play either way in 60 seconds.

    Franchise Pool Hall vs Self Owned? Who, Why and What

    In Texas, there are the various "Eddies" and Slick Willies. In Central Texas at least, most of the Fast Eddies or their other brands have Diamond tables or about to get them. Clicks and Rack Daddy's are down to just a few locations in Texas, maybe one each. Slicks is down to 6 locations...

    How are Revo shafts different today than when first introduced in 2016?

    See, I haven't gone that far yet. Yet. Still working with a McDermott jump/break. Christmas bonus is coming up though.
