That’s honestly a great point and view. Since I’m successful with the dart would you say anything changes using overhand?

Hi pool people! Two things: 1. I have the Viking crush break/jump cue and I finally begun to achieve a trustworthy consistent ability using the dart method. Accuracy not consistent by a long shot yet. Problem is when I put the but or the middle on to try the regular jump, it simply seems...

Good to hear, thank you! That’s what I’m seeing online too, but for $600 I’d just love to shoot with one for 10 minutes. They will let you use chalk and still return if needed, as long as no other signs of use, but of I’d rather not go through that. I also know there are cheaper out there and...

Hello all, I’m in NYC and looking to hopefully try out a Whyte carbon fiber “raw” shaft. Even better if it has a VQR pin I can try on my butt. Short of that, anyone out there locked into Viking that went with this choice? What was your experience?

There’s nothing natural about playing multiple different billiards games in rough conditions from a ping she. Natural feel = Practice X Time. This “natural” thing is a way to shift burden of responsibility away from ourselves for not putting in the same effort.

People need to get over this best cue thing. It’s a stick that hits a ball. Guy on my 8-ball team owns only cues from Temu or Amazon and wins racks all day long. You think Efren would be worse if you chaneed his cue? Doubtful

This has been a great thread for me, the poster. By and large I was just trying to avoid the APA sucks, switch to BCA categorical statement which isn’t very helpful. There have been many great pluses and minuses put forth on both sides.

Love it, thank you! My 8-ball APA night is considering converting and it’s just about my time to start playing BCA regularly. I’d love Fargo score too. Seems more meaningful in general.

Experienced APA member here having heard all the bellyaching about it and understand that both leagues have their pluses and minuses. Wondering from someone who understands that and sees it the same way, what are the advantages/disadvantages, if any disadvantages, of BCA over what is clearly...

Someone here must have a copy that they’ve learned everything from and would be willing to sell. I’ve heard from many that this is a very good book and I’d love to get my hands on a copy. Thanks!

And THIS is how too many juvenile pool players deal with other humans.

Hello all, I've certainly heard that a lot of people love their local APA operators, but mine is terrible. I'm far from the only one in my local area that feels this way. I just wondered if there is any formal way to complain about him to APA. It seems like he is the supreme high being in...

Good rec, thanks. This is similar to the one a teammate of mine has, but this one doubles as a jump cue.

Honestly, the only references I have that I get to practice with are a $900 carbon fiber something that I love, but would never spend that much on, and a viking sneaky pete, which was outfitted with a 20oz bolt and a hard tip. I just need something with heft that has a hard tip that I can get...

Hello, I'm looking for a decent break cue. Just something heavy, ideally with a hard tip, though I will have retipped, as needed, so that I am using one cue for all my breaks in practice and play. NYC area preferred.
