I didn't start playing seriously (other than bar-banging) until I was 53 years old, @ 2007. So, obviously I don't have a cue from 30 years ago. My first cue purchase was a Cuetec Mahogany Series I bought circa 2008 or 2009. When Cuetec came out with the R360 shaft, it made that cue play very...

I have three Rhino shafts. Still have the F1 on all three and see no reason to change them.

They sound a whole lot like many fisherman's stories I have heard. Talk is cheap. I gotta see it to believe it.

So I guess my old 2005 Mahogany Cuetec must surely be worth a small fortune by now, right??? 😂😂😂

I agree. Like 336Robin, I don't even know what tips are on most of my shafts. I do know however, that I have more Triangle tips than any other. I don't hate nor dislike them, but I just don't see any advantage to a multi-layered tip. There is nothing I can do with one that I can't do with a...

"Stay away from extreme English and stay closer to center cue ball" is the best tip I've ever had! ;) Seriously, not too picky about my playing tips on my cues as long as they are not overly hard or soft. I will agree on the Samsara Black tip for break/jump cues though.

I've got a cheap set of balls my son (bless his heart for trying) bought me for Christmas a couple years ago. They play like I described them in my previous post. I get them out and use them when my 9 year-old grandson wants to hit some balls with me.

I would bet that they play "heavy" and clunk like rocks coming together, but you'll be able to play pool with them. If your $$$ situation gives you no other option, then go for it. If you play with that set of balls for any length of time and then someday get a chance to play with an upper end...

Generally, just before pulling the trigger, I look at the best set of cleavage in the pool hall. It's no wonder I shoot so poorly!

Help me shake off my confusion. Ariel Lopez was getting a game on-the-wire. He was going to 14. Feliciano was going to 15. At 14-13 (in favor of Feliciano), he hung the 7-ball in the corner pocket and appeared to concede. Every Dominican in the poolhall jumped up and congratulated Lopez, and...

I'm still looking for the half-naked women!!! ;)

Why? He's probably got more $$ than you and I combined. Prize funds should be awarded to those who actually WIN the $$ (or at least finish high in the tournament). Maybe he accomplished that from the L16 round, IDK?

He always seemed a tad biased towards the European players to me (and very much so towards Canadian players).

Just my opinion, but I'd rather be sitting in a dentist's chair getting a root canal than to have to listen to Mark Wilson and Danny DiLiberto commentate a match. Both great men and I fully appreciate their other contributions to pool, but I get tired of Wison's three-dollar words and...

They both married HOT women! Is Herman Rambow even married???
