This was really cool match to watch, and kim didn't take his jacket off once🙂 these old matches, is history right here.

This is my approach too, except i use micro fibre cloth, maybe twice a week. I'm always playing. like philly said, unless your getting something on the shaft, why would you need to clean them that much? I know some players, don't like the blue staining. I always found the more you play, the...

A word of caution, rotation will improve your game in time, but it takes many years to master the basics, I only played the Philippine version. Its what i would call pools version of snooker. If you find someone to play,competitively against. Its a great game. A serious game. Loads of safety...

I think most that do it, think they struck gold, and to be told, by the guys who know. Its a cheap import. And not worth anything. But yeah i agree, we are a seeing these threads, a lot more now. There is more than enough info on this site, if you do your research properly, you shouldn't need...

Yeah hard tips, are my favourite too, it always feels like the CB reacts quicker. And yep, the best ones that do this, are the single layer tips. Again trying to find consistency among all these, is tricky, no matter how long it lasts.

A real nice tip, should do both.

Look at matchroom since they basically took over 9 ball, the money they have invested. They were always going to make it there own. Weather that was new ball sets, or smaller pockets, its only natural, that others will try and give a similar experience. but Its more about the brand of pool...

Sorry thats what i meant, clash steel.your definitely right on the tournament tables. This is what i read:

From there facebook page, that table is a 7ft bar box. Comparing it to a english 8 ball table, For people to try. Not sure what there standard cash steel pockets are. They definitely look better, than the old sam tables they had. They used to play very tight aswell.

If you can get them right, they will play great.like a lot tips though, it might take some adjustment, especially if your going from a layered to a solid. But Still worth seeking some out🙂

I agree with you, just look at mali and viking from the 70s and 80s very collectable now. And with that, prices rise. And quite often with these old cues, i found in reality, is the condition is never as advertised. The few i brought. But These fancy production cues, or limited edition cues...

If you go the custom route, you will find Most use a modified version of a pro taper. Which is generally a 10 to 12 inch taper. But I'm sure you can get what ever you want, put on. As i did. The thing i really like, these guys have spent years perfecting there's. If you can find the right cue...

I brought the tara open from 88 some years ago. That had no commentary. I thought it was great. Pat flaming just announced the score after each rack. Clicking of the balls, and hearing crowd noise was fine.

Very well said, One of the best posts, I've read on here, In a long time.

Am i the only one, who is wondering how you can order a custom cue in a 3 week dead line? they have ones, that are almost finished? 5 to 6 months i get. Which is standard in my experience.
