The Trick seems to be getting the balls to stay in place when I tried this. I found if I use packing tape and secure the balls to the center aligned ring then get 3 other buddies so two hand per side and we lower the cleaner over the balls upside it works!!!! After running it for 2 minutes then removing all the tiny bits of tape from the balls they are cleaner in spots and now with the added adhesive residue they really grab the felt.

I can tell you're a thinker.

I never thought to use mine upside-down, I always set it rightside-up and use it.

Shot clock is all that’s needed. Maybe add match time limit. But that’s it

Very, very cool!

I’m glad that I’ve missed this… the $200 Raven is just fine by me.

Hello Everyone,
I recently got a single "8-ball" Diamond ball cleaner for my home pool area. I really don't like it on the floor and would like a stand with a drawer or two even. Does anyone know of anything that works?

Go to a used restaurant supply store and get a metal cabnet, $200 bucks. Some come with doors and shelves and locking wheels that can be replaced with rubber foot peddles. They are rock solid.

Mine's in my garage/pool room... so I raised it with leftover pavers from my back patio project... two courses for the base... and then another course but of only small square pavers under each foot. It doesn't move... but it also doesn't have any drawers to store shit. lol

Ok, LD is not really a concern then. The Raven sounds like a great option, but this Air Rush thing was to put off or save up for a BK Rush or BK Shaft.

Last time I checked, Predator don’t sell just the break shaft. I was looking for it to fit my BK2 (didn’t see any reason to buy a whole new cue). That’s why I went with the Raven

The Air rush shaft does not have a ferrule, so you cannot damage it...
Compared to the break shaft, there is a difference in the tip diameter and tip material, but overall construction they look similar.

As I wrote above, LD has no concern with the break, so you could keep using the current break shaft.

If you wish to get a CF break shaft, then consider the Raven break shaft that only costs $200. I have one, and it works great. I don't know how low deflection it is, as I never bothered to test it, but usually, a CF shaft will have less deflection than a standard wooden shaft.

Forgot no ferrule. I do not want to damage the vault plate or drive it into the shaft splitting the carbon tube. I have not seen this on an Air Rush, but I have seen pictures of this damage happening on Rhino CF break shafts.

I've actually tried this a few times. I use a BK Rush break cue and an Air Rush jump cue, and I tried switching the shafts for a few games, to see what would happen. It turns out that, for me at least, the shafts work much better for their intended purposes. I'm not sure how it would compare to a wood shaft, but this was my experience with Predator carbon fiber shafts.

Understood. Since you have both of these setups. Can you tell me if the balance point on your BK rush break cue changes when you put the Air Rush Shaft on it? Also, is the BK Rush Butt itself forward weighted compared to a normal playing Butt?
