Hi; The new Cuetec 99272 performed well this morning. Won the vast majority of games. Was then challenged by the owner of the establishment. A single match. I broke with my backup stick, another 18 ounce model. Made a single low ball on the break. Switched to the Cuetec and ran off the remaining solids, including the 8 ball. A good day. A great cue stick.

Hi again everyone;
Been doing a little research. Found out that Rage Heavy Hitter Jump-Break cue sticks weigh 25 ounces. Does anyone here ever use one? They worth $80 in new condition?
Only have two cue sticks presently. Both 18 ounces. Great tools, but a little light for devastating breaks. Also considering the Elite Heavy Hitter Break Cue. A whopping 27 ounces. They sell for $93-$108.

Hello from Schaumburg, IL.
Hi all,
I have decided to see how good I can become at pool. This started last week when my wife and I decided to go out and shoot pool , somehting we haven't done in ten years or so.
Even though neither of us is very good, we had a blast, and I remebered just how fun and involving this game can be. Then I wondered why I never made a serious attempt to excel at it. Beats me...
So now I AM going to try to pracice and become better at this game; I don't have any aspirations of being pro or anything, as I am a little old for that, I just want to get maximum pleasure out of it, and see how many of its problems I can deal with and solve(?)
I am concentrating, starting today, with stroke and cue ball fundamentals, i.e., a smooth, straight, consistent stroke, and, trying to get the cue ball to stun, follow, draw. I'm not trying English, as I have enough problems now, and that will come with time.
I practiced these skills for a couple hours today, and will continue, as I am the kind who loves drills and repetitive practice.
Do these basics seem like good starting points, and do you more experienced players have any resources that you could recommend?
I hope to learn from those who have gone before...
Thank you!

Hi Jamnut;
My 66th birthday arrives in two weeks. Ouch! Been hustling 8-ball pool for over 45 years. Practice is the key to playing well. Pick yourself up a concentric cue stick. This way you will remain consistent.
Have another pool match scheduled to start in 7 hours. This is the third consecutive week. Played 10 games so far.
Won 9 and lost 1. My opponent sunk the 8 ball on the break.

Hello All
I have always enjoyed pool but I don't play as much as I used to by any means. I managed a pool hall in the 90s and it was a really enjoyable experience. My friends would come when my shifts were over and we would spend our evenings racking and breaking and enjoying the game.
Also I recently I started looking into the particulars of my cue that I bought during that time. I was told at the time I purchased it that it was a Meucchi. Now I am not entirely sure. It does not have any branding on it whatsoever. I don't think I got taken on the purchase. The fellow wanted to buy it back at better money later but I liked it too much and held onto it. Still, the lack of any branding at all is curious as it is not set up to look just like a house cue, ala' a sneaky pete.
One of the reasons I joined this forum was in the hopes that some of the experts around here might help me solve the mystery.
What would be the right forum to drop a thread into with some good photos of the cue and ask for some help in identifying what I have?

Start a NEW THREAD right here in the Main Forum.
More people read the Main Forum than the rest of the forums and surely someone will recognize the photo of your cue. Be sure and take photos of the joint pin and close ups of the collars.

Hello,
New member here from IN. Found the forum looking for a specific cue so thought I would join. I just started playing again after a 10 yr break. Been doing drills and the stoke is coming back very fast.
Happy playing all...
