    Who builds the Becue, full pool cues, and are they popular?

    They occasionally come up for sale on azbilliards--and for much lower prices than new. I bought one a few years ago in the For Sale forum. The shaft was warped, and the hit felt dead to me, so it just sits in a case. The Becue butts are super skinny as well, maybe the skinniest butts made...

    can you explain please this break shot by Yapp?

    The speed that the cue ball retains after hitting an object ball is related to the cut angle. For full on hits (zero degree cut), the cue ball doesn't retain much speed (assuming no cue ball spin). For very thin cuts, the cue ball retains most of its speed. For cuts near a 1/2 ball hit...

    Mini-demo current results of technique

    In the following video, watch Alex Lely's stroke. That's a stroke you should try to emulate. You may not be able to get your head as low to the cue because of infirmity, but that doesn't matter--you can still try to emulate his smooth stroke. You don't want to be jabbing at the ball. Think...

    Shooting Over/Across A Template

    I do. I practice shooting banks off the edge of the template--you do need a shallow angle into the edge of the template, otherwise the OB will just roll over the template. That way in tournaments if my opponent leaves the template on the table, I have three extra rails to work with.
