​🔥 NOT IN THE MVP TOURNAMENT? YOU STILL HAVE A SHOT AT REGIONALS! 🔥

​We are running an 8-Ball Splash Board (16-5 Format) in conjunction with the MVP Tournament this Saturday afternoon starting at 2:00 PM!

​Here is everything you need to know:

​Format: Double Elimination (16 players, sending 5 players to Regionals!).

​Start Time: Saturday @ 2:00 PM.

​Entry: $55 (Includes greens fee). Note: Open to players NOT currently active in the main MVP Tournament.

​Payment: Cash or Cash App accepted ($RodneySchmidt).

​💥 WHY PLAY THIS BOARD? DO THE MATH:

​Standard Single-Elimination Board: $20 entry = 12.5% chance of qualifying.

​This 16-5 Splash Board: $50 play cost = 31.25% chance of qualifying!
You get more than double the odds to secure your spot at Regionals for the exact same value per percentage chance.

​Get there early, get signed up, and take your shot! See everyone Saturday—whether in person or in the live chat! 🎱🎥

Pool cue technology has come a long way. Shooters of all types have a prefferred style to shoot with. Whether it is comfort, feel, deflection, or whatever. ​Nothing gets pool players talking faster than what’s attached to the top half of their cue. Shaft technology has evolved like crazy, but everyone’s got an opinion on what actually delivers at the table. I'm looking for conversation on the topic. I have my personal opinion. My 314² predator shaft is perfect for me. I play the deflection that naturally comes from playing with maple.

​So let’s break down the big three:

​1. Hard Maple-The Classic🪵

• Natural feel, warm feedback through the hands, and traditional touch.
• Incredible feel, but humidity changes, dings, and potential warping are real factors.

​2. Carbon Fiber-The Tech ⚡

• Ultra-low deflection, weather-proof, virtually indestructible, and silky smooth.
• Top-tier consistency, but some players dislike the stiffer hit or lack of organic feedback compared to wood.

​3. Composites & Wood Hybrids-The Middle Ground ⚙️

• Fiber-wrapped, laminated, or wood-core hybrids built to reduce deflection without sacrificing that traditional wood hit.
• A solid balance for players who want modern tech without shooting with a jet-black pole.

Let's talk in the comments:

​What are you currently shooting with right now?

​If you recently switched to Carbon Fiber, did it actually improve your game or did you just adapt to the deflection?

​Be honest: Is classic maple still king for pure feel?

​Tag a teammate who needs an upgrade! Let’s hear what everyone is shooting with. 👇🎱

IT'S DEBATE TIME!

Rules. Think about it: Every sport is defined by arbitrary boundaries. Out-of-bounds lines in basketball, offsides in soccer, strike zones in baseball—these constraints don’t limit the game, they create the game. They force strategy, create pressure, and level the playing field.

This is always a hot topic. The rule is not going to change but we can have a civilized discussion and debate about it.

MARRIED TO THE BREAK.

​In APA, whatever drops on the break is what you get. No choosing. No open table after the break. You make a stripe? Congrats, you’re stripes.

So now that I have added a little bit of fuel to the burn pit. Let's talk about. Where is your stance on the rule?
