Does playing Pool with Families or Friends mess up your real game??

M
Haven't read any responses but the answer is yes. Pool should be fun and not a chore. That's not to say you can't play pool with friends and just have fun, but reality is it's not going to help your game at all. Just sitting watching bad players play can hurt you I believe.

In the same respect watching good players is inspiring you almost feel like once you see them do it you can step to the table and do it also. Can't be anything good about watching people hit balls into the rails with poor fundamentals.

Cues for Sale... Without Extensions

Agree completely and it's one of the reason I've moved away from the more classic style custom cues I liked in the past.

I eventually ended up landing on a Jacoby as a good solid and locally made cue that has both extension and carbon shaft options. These days I wouldn't even consider a cue that doesn't have an extension option.

And I don't use them often at all, I'm definitely not a leave one on all the time type (I did try it, wasn't for me). I still like the mechanical bridge for many simple shots but there are just certain shots where I need to move the cue ball a lot that I feel much more comfortable shooting with an extension. Had one last week in league, probably first time I got the extension out in a few weeks but it was key to a tricky positional shot that required navigating a bunch of traffic and I nailed it and won the rack because of that shot.

Finding my balance....
Good morning Vietnam 🇻🇳
The recent fire alert has a Vietnam con neck shun.
HUGE CANDLE like flame in the distance directly upwind of 25 to 40 mph gusts. In August in Arizona is an explosion possible alert. With garden hose and shovel in hand.
The fire department had it in control. A huge stack of packing crates for solar panels origination was Vietnam. A huge fire that left a black scar that left marginal evidence. 🤔 hmmm.

I've been a student since I started playing 9 ball so don't really have money for a cue and the cue I used for UK pool has far too small a tip to use with American sized balls. Because of that been stuck using my local clubs cues when I play. Actually don't mind them and think they are decent cues, though never played with a carbon fibre cue to compare the difference. But the times I get frustrated with using the club cues is when I'm either having to stretch or use the rest for a shot that would be a lot easier with an extension. When I do get round to buying a cue I'm not sure if it will be wood or carbon fibre, but I certainly wont buy anything that doesn't have the ability to attach an extension.

There are tons of cheap decent cues out there that come with extension.
Some of older reputable cue makers that for some reason don't offer them or offer them to only one line of cues. They could make an easy $100-$200 extra just by offering them and all it takes is a change to the bumper and weight bolt system.

I thought an extension would be a total game changer for me. I had one made out of wood, and it feels like I strapped a boat anchor onto the back of my cue. I can't make the easiest ball. I look like I play pool on the spectrum or something. Then, I used Miller's feather weight Mezz extension, and I totally appreciate the value of space age material in extensions. For me, all future extensions need to be made of the NASA-grade martian material in the Mezz extension. I don't even bother using my extension half the time, and instead opt to look awkward with a bridge.
