    Discussion of how a cue "hits"...

    I can relate to this, I have a custom that I played every day with for 6 years. It has phenolic A and b joints and a brass radial pin with phenolic shaft inserts. It is also cored with purple heart and has a stiff parabolic taper. Needless to say, it is a "feel" monster and if I stroke straight...

    Captaining my first ever APA team in first APA match...any advice?

    Order the book "How to be the Captain of a Winning APA 8-Ball Team" by John Loftus. I have used the principles in this book to coach teams to the finals every session since 2009, with a team going to Vegas and placing 17th nationwide in 2012. Anything I could tell you is said much better in...

    Must see poolrooms

    Red's in Spartanburg. SC has to be experienced...it isn't "nice" but it is the epitome of old school dive halls with a grill and 25 cent games. Cue Time in Spartanburg, SC is a room full of Diamond tables and run by actual pool players The Palace in Greenville, SC is an all night room that is...

    School or Viking

    Be a Viking. But, as far as cues go, get a basic Schon for around $350-$500, and if you like LD shafts, Schon makes a hybrid for $200. I have owned a Viking, it was a great cue, but nowhere near a Schon. If you want close to Schon play, but more Viking price, buy a Joss.

    Issue during APA Playoffs

    This early in session I would not have cared, with the breaker being the same rank. I would just hope my player won the lag and went rackless. If it were playoffs, or playing for a close first place, they better have announced it prior to the match beginning or I wouldn't agree to it. As fast as...

    Normal Shaft Deflection - How do you do it?

    It may not work for everyone, but using a standard stroke (not BHE), I just move my aim point on the object ball over as many tips as I am applying english. This gets me in a rough grove, and after about a rack of focused warm up, I can play decent. I still miss my Schon hybrid when I don't have...

    SVB R360 Shaft RIP

    He had Schon Butt with a Joss shaft early on, then used the 314/Schon combo for a while before he got the sponsorship, If I have my cue history right. Being a fan of his is actually what started my love for Schon cues. I had an OLD Meucci Original before that haha.

    what kind of cue is this ???

    That's not a Thor's Hammer for sure. Every one I've seen say it in big letters on the side of the butt. Looks like a china cue, I'd contact Ebay.

    SVB R360 Shaft RIP

    He's always been a nice, kind guy. The photos were sad...I'd hate that on my Schon shaft, let alone one I'd won a mill with.

    SVB R360 Shaft RIP

    The difference between pool players and puppies, is that puppies stop whining and start woofing, pool players stop woofing and start whining.

    SVB R360 Shaft RIP

    I saw on SVB's FB last night that he broke the shaft he has played with since 2009, a Cuetech R360, while practicing some "crazy shots" right before his finals match. I couldn't get the pics to load, but it snapped at the junction of the shaft/tenon. That could also explain why he appeared a...

    Pool cue knowledge in pool rooms

    In my area, league players either use a Moochy or a "Josh" (Joss) cue, a few of us have Schon's or Predators, and EVERYBODY wants a Gulyassy. I see alot of Lucasi and Viking as well. Most guy know what Scruggs, SW, Sugartree, and Bluegrass are. For a long time, the most popular cue was to buy...

    So, whats going on with Shane?

    I'm glad to hear he is doing well...he is registered at a big tournament upcoming in my home town, so I'm looking forward to seeing him play in something that isn't on as grand a national scale, maybe even drawing him before i get put out haha. I also think that there is A LOT of new, fresh...
