Judd Pm sent I think

woops, should clarify this is for 9 ball, I probably wouldn't employ this style of break on one pocket...

Yes I do. The ol' pop and drop break. Reasons for it to me are mainly keeping the cue ball in the center of the table so it gives highest probability of a shot on the first shot. Secondly it keeps the racker honest because it basically broadcasts to the entire rail know you muck racked the...

+1 on the Samsara, can actually get a bit of control on the cue ball when breaking. One of the easiest tip choices I ever made.

remember watching Morro, King Kong, Tang Hoa, and others, play liability for endless hours, jeez I often wondered if they marked their bills before they started....

Smitty was Thai not Chinese and whatever happened to him?

To Jaetee: Yes, I've run across many cues that have wowed me for a few test hits (and bought some of them on impulse because of it), but when you put them through the paces of many hours of play and the things you'll notice are that they can do certain shots well, but struggle with other shots...

For what you are asking, stylistically, price point, and level of workmanship. I would recommend Ariel Carmeli at the top of the list by a fair margin. Not affiliated with him at all or a big fan boy or anything, just the right guy for the job at hand. Some of the others on this list I've...

I think Darren played his heart out as that is why he is a champion. But I like watching guys get emotional about the game (to include Earl). Pool is an intense game, it requires so much concentration and emotional control to play well and when players act "real" it reaffirms why I love this...

Great story Lou, enjoyed that one. But, yeah, to me, the stick matters, yes you can play with any stick and still shoot if you know how to play but the stick that you've got thousands of hours on will be the one that you will feel more comfortable with because you have the confidence in knowing...

Well, I used to always have at least a spare shaft with me in the case, and more than likely a few more at home for my playing cue. But recently I've been playing with a cue that only came with a single shaft and let me tell you, what a headache, I've been dying to pick up a second shaft. Tip...

yes Ariel, newer one. He used less stars in the earlier years and adding more stars over the years, I believe it started with 5 stars and then up from there.

I have them but don't use them. I'm sure they add a measure of protection from dropping the butt on the pin side but overall they are just a hassle. Taking them off, putting them on, finding them after you've been playing for hours, remembering to find them after you've been playing for a few...

damn don't have time to watch it, too busy trying to keep up with all the players playing bonus ball in my local pool hall.

I'm not sure how much lead was contained in the original pre-flag chalk formula but I did see somewhere online that it contained approximately 25% JUJU....
