    Mezz Cues

    Thanks for recommending J&J. I decided to keep it simple and bought an EC9 w/ Exceed Pro shaft. I've played with a Hybrid Pro II shaft for five years and I've got use to its crisp, firm hit with the LD. I hope the Exceed provides a similar hit and feel.

    Mezz Cues

    I'm looking for an ACE-2180, but the cue appears to be sold out on Mezz online and from its distributors. Maybe I haven't looked in the right places, but it seems Mezz is a difficult cue to buy in the US.

    Taom Chalk

    It's not data that I posted from any experiment I did on the different Taom chalks. Just personal experience using my own equipment (Zan Medium). Does the V10 stay on a laminated/layered tip longer than Chalk 2.0, and how do both compare in the number of hits before miscue. Now I'm interested...

    Taom Chalk

    The "classic" Taom Pool Chalk 2.0 is still my primary chalk. V10 is a bit dryer (doesn't stick as well) than the classic or Pyro. The Pyro leaves a bit more residue than the classic, but still a great chalk. Taom's Chalk 2.0 is a happy medium between V10 and Pyro. For anyone new to Taom's...

    Efren Reyes - 2017 Topps Allen & Ginter Red Mini card

    There are a few Efren Reyes cards on eBay, especially from the 2017 Topps Allen & Ginter set. The 2017 set contains a few versions of the Efren Reyes card, but the one I'm looking for in particular is the X Red Mini (see picture below). If you have this card and you're willing to sale, then I...

    What's Good About A "Good Hit"?

    Taking into consideration that the cue doesn't have any loose parts and it is a solid two piece, all things being considered, a good hitting cue is a cue that delivers what you need. The sound and firm/softness are merely preferences.

    Does anyone else think ....

    If it isn't expensive to many people, then many people would own a Revo shaft.

    Nice video on the Dos and Don'ts in a Pool room

    They cut out the scene where they tell you to exhaul away from the table, as to not get any moisture on the cloth.

    Wednesday Warmup I'm interested in playing the Wednesday Warmup, but the expo doesn't start until Thursday and I need at least a weekend pass to play in this mini tournament. Is the expo selling tickets on Wednesday?

    SS360, Tiger Ultra X LD and Pro X

    I still have these shafts for sale. I'm also willing to trade the Tiger shafts for a quality Predator butt.

    ................................

    If you had to sale your cherished cue to make ends meet, then why would you intentionally ruin the resale value of a custom cue and have less funds in case of another financial emergency? Also, it would suck if you have your name on a cue that has failed to meet your expectations. I doubt...

    Draw for show, follow for the dough?

    That's awesome! :thumbup: I love those types of force follows close off the rail. To my understanding, a kill shot is to slow the CB down prior to contact, but I can see how the force follow close to the rail can also be considered a kill shot. Below are some definitions, and vid, I found...
