After 9 years of playing league, I'm finally going to the Allen Hopkins' Super Billiards Expo in March, and mainly to get a new break cue (I'm leaning towards the Predator Sport BK2) and two shafts for my shooting cues (undecided between the OB1 or a predator). So with this in mind I have two...

I'm about to purchase a new break cue, and I have choice of getting a shaft with a phenolic tip, or upgrading to a predator shaft (314 or 'Z') and have them install a Tiger Everest, Tiger Sniper, or a Moori tip. I've tried phenolic and I really don't like the hit, but I like the fact that...

I'm just curious if anyone has tried or tested the Poison Billiards - VX 2.9 Jump Break Pool Cue. I'm seriously considering buying one, but I just don't want to get stuck with a lemon break cue. Has anyone read or received any reviews or feedback on this break cue...

Is there anything unique about the tip on the Predator BK2 cue. What I mean is, is it different from the standard phenolic tips you get on other break cues. I've read where it's described as a "Linen Phenolic", as well as being described as a "Phenolic and Carbon Fiber" tip. Are these the same...

I was browsing around on eBay and all of a sudden I see an advertisement for a series of books by Kevin Trudeau. And some of the comments left by individuals were less than flattering. Referring to him as a quack, a charlatan and a scoundrel. One reviewer stated: ...I saw a review this evening...

I just got a good kick in my "Game" and that's thanks to the new DVD from Joe Villalpando titled "Pool I.Q. - Kick Shots". This instructional DVD concentrates solely on kick shots, and is easy to follow, and doesn't overwhelm you with too much information. I found it to be very helpful, and I...

I see your point, but what they're finding out is that many pool rooms, bars and restaurants are not closing because of the ban, and that in many cases the patronage has increased. So although you may have had to close your establishment because of the ban, we may find out that your situation is...

I don't think it's the smell alone, as much as it's the thought that if it's in your clothes, and in your hair, and on your skin, then it's also in your lungs. And I don't know of any people who grill, or huddle around campfires, indoors where the smoke would be confined and circulated around...

Hey, every time you drink, cuss, wear cologne or perfume, you don't compromise or even effect another person's health, however, every time a person is exposed to second-hand smoke their health is compromised and negatively affected, and that's each and every time, and that's a fact. As a matter...

I just got a Bob Thompson cue and I really love it. You really have to see these cues to believe them. The craftsmanship and design is definitely one of a kind. Mr. Thompson is a small operation out of West Virginia and offer's some of the most unique cue's you'll ever see. Bob's production...

It's funny how for years we non-smokers supported our teams, leagues, and tournaments prior to any smoking bans, we tolerated hours of second-hand smoke, and basically compromised our health because of our dedication and commitment to the game, but it's interesting how some smokers aren't...

The state of Nevada recently passed legislation restricting smoking in Las Vegas hotels, restaurants, and convention venues. This means smoking will no longer be allowed at the APA National Championships held in the Riviera’s tournament rooms in April and August. Here's the entire article...
