    Tournaments or Gambling...Which makes you a stronger player?

    Kind of been thinking about this. Do you think that Gambling or Tournaments make you a stronger player. Personally, I think that Gambling made me a stronger player than tournaments. I really never liked tournaments that well. I would rather gamble. I get in more table time and i can hit the gear...

    Using cue tip to determine cue ball direction and position for next shot.

    I dont mind it as much as when someone has to kick at a ball and they take all day doing mathematical calculations pointing at different points not once but least twice. They are talking to themselves while doing it then says no thats not right. Im sitting there like damn just kick it its not...

    Are high end predators hard to sell on the secondary market?

    I still prefer Predator LD wood shafts over CF any day. Personally, I think that the best shaft i ever had was a Predator Z2 S tuned. Of course, they are marketing genius. But, I really liked they used a lot of testing and was striving to make the best equipment available. I liked it that they...

    The very first glimpse of AI run-out intelligence

    There will be definitely be a demand. I think this will be a big breakthrough using interactive tech to get people interested in the game/sport. I think it will be a big hit for upscale pool rooms and home tables. I think you will turn this into a very profitable business.

    Question about taper of a cue?

    Nope not warped. The dial indicator on my lathe proves it. I think epoxypop is right... I measure the taper on the handle and it tapers some but not much and the base of the forearm where handle connects is slightly bigger diameter.

    Question about taper of a cue?

    Just wondering, I got a 1985 Weir/adam cue. The cue moves the cueball better than any cue i have owned. It feels a little thicker in the handle area and not just in the back. I think it has to do with the taper of the butt. I noticed when i put it on the table the joint is off the table about a...

    Just when I thot I'd seen it all...

    I think people are over thinking it....I sometimes apply weight to my open bridge. Especially, when im jacked up and shooting down on a shot that requires a shorter jab stroke. Just grip the butt of the cue more and angle your wrist downward to apply pressure to your bridge. I sometimes do this...

    New volturi predator case

    Crazy Price! All i got to say. The Volturi Broque or Venice looks twice as expensive at 600 bucks. Here is an ideal. If I want one bad enough, I will just wait a few months and get one from Temu or Alibaba for $198 bucks since it has a Pedator logo :sneaky:😁

    Standard pool cues are too short

    I actually prefer a 57" cue. Im 5' 11. I don't think it is to short. Maybe players that prefer a long cue actually likes the rear weighted balance. I shoot with a long bridge 13.5 to 14.5" with my bridge arm fully extended and a 57" cue still puts me holding my cue with my middle finger at the...

    Thoughts on players who seemingly take Zero practice strokes, before shooting / final follow through?

    You shoot pretty sporty... you are exactly right that if you can see your point of contact and go down with proper alignment it doesnt make a lot of difference. when you are down taking those micro or practice strokes it gives you to much time to second guess your shot. You should have...

    Thoughts on players who seemingly take Zero practice strokes, before shooting / final follow through?

    Im one of those players. I see my point of aim, I go down and get my tip close to cueball and pause for few seconds to make sure everything feels right and pull back and fire. Only time im feathering or micro stroking is on long straight in shots and straight draw shots. I also dont have a long...
