I have a falcon butt for 275 . If you need a cf shaft I have a Rhino to bring it up to less than 500 The stack wrap alone cost 200 at the Tiger booth at SBE. Extensions would be extra

Can't believe this news this morning, Michael (Crazy Jack) was a very good friend to me and my wife, Paula. A very knowledgeable and likeable person. Locksmith by trade, hunter, dog trainer, pool player for recreation. He was very proud of his son. Talked often on the phone ever since
he moved from Ft Worth several years ago back to South Dakota to take over his father's locksmith business. Mike will surely be missed by all
who knew him. R.I.P., Michael.

I don't have a direct light over my table. Three lights scattered around the table, I've tried different bulbs, pointed the lights in different directions and fiddled with the dimmer settings. Not ideal, and it's not practicable to install better lighting unless I renovate my basement.

Shop lights won't work? I play in a room with green cloth and when the six ball is on the end rail, it's a challenge. One spec I've seen is a minimum of 500 lux everywhere on the table.

Most players don't consider a very thin hit a follow shot.

What I mean is that in a follow shot, the cue ball continues it's straight-line path. In a very thin shot with cue ball with top spin, the cue ball also follows it's straight-line path.

Down here, we call this an example of "more money than sense".

On the other hand, I am glad to see someone doing it, just glad it is not me -- seen too many marriages and lives destroyed from building a dream home.

That's a bummer, the light directly over the table makes such a big difference. One tournament I played in had 50-60 tables in a large room with tall ceilings and the only lighting was up against the ceiling, the lighting was beyond awful, lots of weird shadows.

Nice photo, but on my table, at night, I can't always tell the 2, 4 and 8 apart. Part of the problem is my lighting, but it hasn't been something I've been able to solve.

What do you have for a light over your table? I actually put dimmer bulbs in my light so it wasn't quite as bright, its the only light that's on when I'm at the table in my basement. I cant imagine how bright it would be with LED's.

Anyone follow Kevin Noel on Facebook? I've been watching his reels. His cues look sweet. Ross custom cues
