For those of You that don't know... The BreakRAK is getting some attention...

If you feel that you must have this gadget to improve your break, then go ahead, it’s your money.

Just remember that it only emulates a 9ball rack

I think its main function of increasing your speed including your accuracy when you hit hard applies to all smash break games.

For top players at nine ball, ten ball and eight ball, it is not so useful because they work on pocketing specific balls, and sometimes they work on the one ball and cue ball positioning. For players under 600 Fargo, that may not apply. However, I have a student who has had good success with pocketing the second row balls at eight ball, but his league uses template racks where those two balls are much easier to control.

Lifting Weights before a Tournament?

This cat, the op, asks some kinda 'out there' questions. Registering cues, lifting wts, what does a stoke 'feel' like, pool shoes etc. Curious if he plays or just lurks here. BTW, anyone recommend a toothpaste that's good for a 'pre-pool brush'. This has been really botherin' me so i thought i'd finally ask. ;)

excellent thanks for all the work you do

just because the ‘cuteness’
of adding ‘excitement’
is confusing me doesn’t mean that with all of us trying our best to decipher the ultimate rules that we can’t get it done after a half dozen or so events they’ve held in the last two years

Did you Register your Pool Cue Warranty?

Never registered a warranty of any kind, on any thing, much less a cue. No new cue i ever bought had a warranty that had to 'registered'. All of them, builders i mean, have their own methods for backing a cue. Only covering the original buyer is pretty much assumed. BTW, is the op a total pool newb? Asks a lot of questions that only outright beginners would ask. Just curious.

Yup.

Buyer beware though.

The last time I swung by Chris Nitti's shop I told him that his cue was defective because it didn't make very many balls.

He said that wasn't covered... 😂
