I had John build this for me back in 2017 when I was trying to get serious. Life took over and I really haven't had time to be active. It probably has less than 8 hours of use on it. Total Length - 58" Butt Length - 29” Weight - Didn't have anything around to get the weight. If you're...

Checking out the links now. Thanks again!

Greg, Thanks so much for post, I'm going to check out those links and start piecing together a routine that works for me.

Hey Greg, I have no intentions on glossing over the fundamentals. Could you elaborate a little on the "robotic routine" and points I should be focusing on while executing my shots?

Way ahead of you. Found that out my very first post. Although I stated that I was using the system, I found the believers to be more annoying and insulting than the non believers. Either way, I've found some success using it. I'd say I've increased my shot making about 10-15% so I'm going to...

Lately I've been thinking about better ways to practice. I started playing seriously about two months ago and I get to the table on average twice a week for a few hours. As of right now, I'm just setting up basic shots and practicing CTE Pro One visuals and sweeps. I spent about 2 hours working...

Nice, thanks for the suggestion guys. Going to head up north in a couple days.

Anyone know any good high end shops I can go try some cues out in NJ. I travel quite a bit so NY and Philly are options too.

The Internet is my favorite reason on that list

Hey brother, thanks for the advice. Looks like I'll be going back to the manual pivot for a while haha. I'l search around and see if I can find an instructor near me.

Nice, thanks for all the input guys. I'm going to hold off on my decision for another week or so and check out the second hand market.

no other opinions?

Do you guys have any tips on locking down the Pro One Sweeps? I can't seem to get them consistent especially the inside sweep. This is becoming a source of real frustration for me. I'm pretty sure I have my perceptions locked down. Then I go in with the sweep and take the shot and its all...

What custom cue maker would you recommend? I actually spoke to a custom builder from north jersey and he said he started at $1000 and that he builds the whole cue. I couldn't really get out of him if it was possible to get a butt built that would be a standard size and joint where I could switch...
