Very loose grip will give you most consistant but not most effective results. There is a LOT of cue power to be generated by a wrist snap to accelerate your cue fastest at the point of contact with the cue ball. If you find you are struggling under pressure and tend to tighten up - play...

there are some players who do that. look at daryl peach. but being in the middle of a lot of pro pool players who can make balls with a very dynamic technique can be difficult for someone implementing the strict, accuracy favouring style.

ive always thought hendry was super solid

the cue is meant to stay parallel to the table all through the stroke. as simple as that - the mechanics can be derived from that. his elbow is a little off and his head is a bit tilted, also grips his cue a little too hard in the end of the stroke at times. that shows on the first stroke -in...

thanks for posting this... kind of unproffessional finish by john though...

i think it is a fantastic idea. someone is actually DOING something new. if you do not like it, don't enter - simple as that, whats the point in knocking the idea? pool needs all the coverage and ideas it can get. ever heard the saying "all publicity is good publicity"?. I for one will deffo try...

i have to withdraw since the weight isn't quite to my preference. a pity :(

ill take it if the balance point works for me. pm sent thanks, o

balance point on the tulip then? you don't need scales for that..

i really liked how you posted the shaft weight, butt weight & balance point on each particular cue. if you did that for these cues as well i think it would help sell them a lot easier. i am interested in one as well but i need specs please.. thanks, o

i second the point that you can not match colours at all on the monitor. My job involves sending designs to be produced abroad and we always courier swatches of actual colours/material we want matched. another option is to use a colour standard such as Pantones. some greens will end up looking...

limit your backstroke and follow through for less qb movemen/t. extend them to generate more power. try to keep the stroke speed more or less the same for every shot. your cue should accelerate through the qb and move at its fastest during the time of contact if you need further help shoot me a pm

just as an update I have now ordered the mid size from Chris Hightower - ended up being 1800$ with some essential tools and materials and tips. I'll write a little review once i get it as to how the standard package works out and which tools etc it is worth getting as you start out at the very...

Thanks, mid size it is then... do i want the deluxe spindle & steady rest option for 500$ extra... what are they for? i think i understand what the delux spindle is for from a previous reply. what about the single steady rest? which functions would i use that one for? thanks again, o
