Bought my first cue Cuetec Avid (secondhand) and the balance is too rear for me. Remove the 1oz bolt = perfect balance but too light. Any fix?

Bought my first cue Cuetec Avid (secondhand) and the balance is too rear for me. Remove the 1oz bolt = perfect balance but too light. Any fix?

I finally pulled the trigger on a Cuetec Avid as my first proper cue. Overall love it. hit feels decent, looks clean. But after a couple weeks of playing I'm pretty sure the balance is too far back for me.

The numbers:

With the stock 1oz weight bolt**:** balance point is 17.7" (from the butt). Cue feels butt heavy to me. My stroke feels fine on short shots but on longer draws and follow-through I keep feeling like the back end is swinging around my bridge hand.

Bolt removed**:** balance point moves to 18.5" , this is the balance I actually want or prefer more forward. But now the cue dropped a full ounce and just feels like a toothpick. My speed control fell apart the first session I played without it.

So I'm stuck between "right balance, wrong weight" and "right weight, wrong balance." Is there literally any way to keep the weight AND get the more forward balance, or do I just have to pick one?

For context: beginner-ish player (about 6 months), mainly playing 9-ball, 19oz was what I learned on at the pool hall house cues.

Tokens Exhausted.

Me after exhausting all my tokens on some random idea of building a gambling app.

Edit: Found footage of what spooked that AI researcher to quit on his 5th week at Anthropic/s

As a new fan, following pro pool is exhausting. I didn't even know the China Open happened last week.

 I got into pool properly this year after watching the us open pool. Loved it. I was hyped to finally follow the sport.

Then nothing. I assumed there'd be another big event soon. Turns out the china open 9 ball was happening literally last week and I had zero idea. No notification, nothing on my feed, nothing. I only found out because I randomly went digging.

And that's the thing as a beginner you have to dig for everything:

  1. Where's the schedule? There's no single obvious calendar
  2. Where do I watch? WNT.tv for the Nineball Tour stuff, some tables free on the youtube channel, other events on random youtube channels or regional streams. Every tournament seems to have a different answer. I still don't know where the china open was even streamed.

I want to be a fan. I want to know when the next 9 ball or 10 ball major is, who's ranked where, and where to legally watch it. Right now it feels like the information exists but you need to already be deep in the scene to find it.

So please veterans of this sub drop your beginner recommendation

  1. Best single site/app for the full 9 ball & 10 ball calendar?
  2. Where do you watch WNT events vs. WPA/other tours?
  3. Any YouTube channels that do weekly recaps/rankings so I can keep up without watching every rack?

TLDR New fan loved the sport, no idea what's next or where to watch except WNT.tv. The info exists but it's buried. Help a beginner out.

Marketshare Brand Motor

Satnight lagi relax iseng-iseng nonton Otomotif TV cover GIIAS. Saya yang gak terlalu mengikutin motor, ternyata cukup kaget dengan banyaknya brand motor yang ada di Indonesia yang saya baru tau seperti Royal Endfield, Triumph, Kuprum, Can-am , Scomadi yang mirip banget vespa. Nah pertanyaan saya:

  1. Bagaimana marketshare brand motor-motor tersebut diluar Big 5 yang biasa orang tau, saya sendiri di luar pulau jawa hampir gak pernah seumur hidup lihat motor tersebut dijalan.

  2. Apakah motor diatas 100 juta - 1 m memang lumayan laku di Indonesia ?
    rasanya kelas menengah masih prefer untuk beli mobil sedangkan kelas hobbyist harusnya gak terlalu banyak dibanding banyaknya brand2 motor di Indonesia.

itu aja sih penasaran. Thanksss

Buat kamu yang dibidang non IT, apakah ada yang menggunakan Agentic AI ?

Saya bukan software engineering atau berkutat kesana, tapi lagi iseng-iseng setup hermes agent. Agak takjub juga sekarang AI sudah bisa pasang custom base knowledge, skillset, sama berbagai macam tools. Saya suruh ngotak ngatik system komputer saya juga bisa tanpa kendala.

Sekarang penasaran disini ada yang pakai agentic AI untuk pemakaian sehari-hari selain coding ? pengen tau agentic seperti ini bisa dikembangkan jadi apa aja ?
