    Are you willing to put in the time?

    The major benifit of just shooting for hours hitting just balls and pocketing them is that you will develope your a very good stroke if you pay attention to keeping proper form. In my opinion stroke comes first then speed stratagy and all the rest.

    Table size

    I would like some comments on practicing on a larger table then playing competition on a bar box. Does it hurt or help your game? I have always practiced on a valley bar box but just got an 8" olhausen and feel like I have never played the game before. Im sure its just a matter of time and practice.

    Arnot cue reviews?

I like the radial pin, it fits very snug and tight, just perfection. I accidently broke with it and it felt almost like my mezz pb2, it...
