I have all three Revo shafts. The one I prefer is the 12.4, a happy middle ground. When I use the 11.8 I try shots I do not have the consistency to pull off with heavy English on a regular basis. Just have to keep practicing.

Set up my pool room with a 9' GC3 and a 12' snooker table. Had both tables refinished to match. Also have a designated area for darts, trying to decide if I want 1 or 2 boards. Another area for poker or board games. Next week will be setting up a 2 channel stereo and a 85" TV as well to...

I have 2 newer Meucci cues (previous SP model and a Power Piston 2) and both have a nice hit. Have read many things about Meucci quality but it was worth taking a gamble on the cues as they were hit e few times and looked brand new. Meucci quality reputation got me a great deal on them. Also...

Just received a new snooker cue from Green Baize out of UK. Purchased a house brand 3/4 ash cue with a titanium ferrule, 9.5mm tip and 60" long. Have not had a chance to use yet. Not able to try in person, did not want to spend too much (250 pounds) since I may upgrade later. Have always...

I own some rental properties and have someone looking after them. Their job is to look after the buildings and tenants so I don't have to. I have no interest being day to day hands on with the buildings, which I expect the vast majority of owners feel the same way. A hard set rule for me is I...

A 58" cue is too short for me, would prefer 60"+. Use a mid extension Balance Rite on my 2 Meucci cues. For my Predator cues I use a 6" rear extension when playing. Remove all the weight bolts gets me to 20-21ozs using Revo shafts. Both solutions are not ideal but will work with what I have...

A 58" cue is too short for me. Went to a local store and purchased a Predator Sneaky Pete with a Revo 12.4 shaft and a cue extension. I also picked up two used shafts, a 12.9 and 11.8. The 12.9 is not right for me but not sure between the 12.4 and 11.8. I'll figure it out in the next few...

A 58" cue is too short for me so I use a 6" extension. After removing all internal weight my cues are just under 21oz. They do not feel too heavy as the balance feels fine.

I don't use the shaft to move balls, prefer not to get bad habits and end up with dents in wood shafts.

Straightline, I do not understand why you quoted me since your argument has nothing to do with my post. My understanding from earlier posts meant that WPA and WADA have the right to test players. All the players know this and if they do not want to take a drug test they do not have to...

Would his behaviour be acceptable at anybody's place of business. Just because he apologized and others accepted his apology does not mean that the other people involved might have felt frightened by his actions. Throwing a cup, yelling in front of fans and throwing his cue case against a wall...

The ball colour changes bother me as an annoyance but in the grand scheme of things it is a trivial matter. If Matchroom does a good job new fans will accept the new colours and the proponents of the orange 5 will be forgotten over time. Pool has had a seedy reputation for many decades...

The biggest television market in the world does not mean anything if there are not enough people interested in watching. At least Matchroom has a chance to get people exposed and possibly interested in pool.

I like what Matchroom is doing for pool. What major sport does not have standardization of rules. Snooker has tight pockets which makes centuries mean more. I find 9 ball gets boring to watch when the table gets run out after the break too often. Make running the table mean more. Big fan of...
