I installed a 9' Predator Arena light in my billiards shop. I've had it for about a month and I'm liking it, overall. Here's a YouTube link to a video review I did for the Predator Light: https://youtu.be/tR9deQlF_48

Thanks for the comments, guys. In regards to my deflection test: the hits I do for these tests are consistent and the soft hit on the Z2 review is the same as the G-Core review is the same as the REVO. I really do look forward to more players getting a chance to try this shaft out for...

The shaft weighs the same as the Predator 314 3. As far as having the weight adjustable, I haven't heard about that. I've had the shaft for a while now and I don't see any way that weight could be added or removed from it in an appreciable way.

Lisa, I want to first and foremost thank you for an honest and well thought out review of my E-Grip pool cue holder. I've gotten a great deal of feedback on the product since it was officially released almost two years ago but yours is the first review that has offered such specific and...

That's a pretty good estimation. To paraphrase Henry Ford: 'You can get my cues in any length you want, as long as it's 58"' :) I actually used to own an 87" pool cue that was a promo item by Players Cues. I eventually sold it and the buyer made a blog post about it. It was a cool cue...

Thanks Jaden and Bob! Cuesblues, Come on down. Your cues are waiting for you. :)

Thanks GeoEnvi. The "Half Mile of Cues" relates to the fact that if you lie each cue end to end, they'd stretch for over a half-mile. :) And, yes, we absolutely do support APA with a discount on cues and cases. As for the Italian restaurant just up the street, it's called Sanfilippo's Pizza...

Thanks again guys! It's good to know there's still a demand for a real brick-and-mortar pool shop these days.

Thank you for the kind words. I'm always happy to hear that people make it a point to stop by my store when they visit San Diego. I started shooting those how-to videos about 3 years ago and it's good to know that the information is still being found useful. As you mentioned, some of the...

I've gone ahead and finished up the second video in the series, which is about how to use Top English to subtract half of a diamond. The video is here: http://slctbld.es/topenglishvid Neil, good explanation. The aspect relating to speed is tricky to demonstrate since everyone is a bit different...

Good point Scott. I'll make a refinement to this series of videos that explains precisely how to move the tip onto the cue ball. I had hoped it was clear from the overhead angle but I can see where it might be ambiguous. Thank you all for the kind words on the video. I made sure to spend extra...

I recently had some people come into my billiards shop and ask about how to improve the accuracy of their English. After a while of explaining my normal method, I went ahead and made a video about it, which is viewable right here: http://slctbld.es/centerenglishvid My question is, is the video...

The Carbon Fiber core definitely helps it to return to it's original shape immediately after contact.

With the testing of any pool cue, there's not a lot of empirical data we can rely on unless some sort of repeatable standard is utilized to shoot with for every cue. Much as I would love to invent a pool shooting robot for these videos, it's not in my immediate future. The video is intended to...

Here's a video review from my site, Select Billiards: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8zUbCg2oOE You can see the kinds of breaks you get with it, as well as the flex and some other aspects of play with the BK3.
