well now that i know the collar is plastic, i can't be too disappointed it held for almost 2 years. I've had 3 poisons and 2 predators and this is the first issue i've ever had and it looks like it's "my fault." i'll say for sure though that there's no chance i'm gonna shell out the cash for a...

fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice..

I've been working on control, I train with a local pro who's been helping me with my game and that's one of the points he's been stressing. I thought the joint was phenolic, my bad. I looked at the JJ and the Action, might pick up one of those. Also my friend's got the Fury for $50 i might try...

manwon, the collar is phenolic. i'll look into the j&j break. i know i put a lot of pressure on my cue on my followthrough but i get the most power that way. i should rethink my break but there are pros who break and bend the shaft, look at hohman's break it's almost 90 degrees. granted, he...

Hey guys, I have a poison vx 2.9 jump/break and a month ago I broke and the butt collar snapped and the pin broke in half. Instead of replacing the whole cue, they sent me the middle piece. When I got it back, I noticed a small crack in the outside of the shaft collar and today (4 days later)...

I think it just as easily goes the other way. I've walked in to tourneys and played old timers that didn't give me an ounce of respect, even after I beat them. What's great about pool though is you get competitive play from all age ranges. Respect cuts both ways. I've learned a lot from the more...

I showed up to my local hall every day for a month before the owner came over and told me I was doing everything wrong. I listened, learned and last year at some college tourney I heard a professor telling the students he brought to pay attention to how good my mechanics are. Pool's always...

(One day 2 and a half years ago..) Sal: Hey Dave, wanna go shoot some pool? Me: Sure. and that was the beginning of the end..

"Nice break 'n run."... to which you reply... "Thanks, but I really didn't realize I was on a break 'n run. I was totally absorbed in each and every shot." Happens all the time to me. You just get going and all of a sudden there's nothing left to shoot. You said you're in the process of...

I use a cue wiz while i'm playing and rubbing alcohol to really clean it. just make sure you burnish the shaft to seal it if you get any liquid on it, otherwise it can warp. also general maintenance: Never leave your cues in the car. They're made of wood, and wood warps. Pick up the cue from...

You'll have to figure out your own style and what's comfortable for you. There's some guy on the internet who breaks like an absolute monster with an open bridge, I just miscue lol. For me, I use both bridges depending on the situation and sometimes just randomly. I think it's crucial to know...

Oops that sounded nooby :D I guess taking into consideration his style and caliber, it took me by surprise that he would be playing with a Cuetec, which makes me think he's pushing stock.

I was looking into the R360 series and noticed that they took Fisher off their website. Now it's just SVB. Does anyone know about this? Since we're here, has anyone tried playing with an R360? I shoot Predator but like to try new things and a local room owner suggested it. He may just be...
