    For me it definitely wouldn't be noticeable! 🙂

    Pool Ball Weights

    Is it a surprise that those two particular balls, the cue and 8, are a bit out of range?

    Jump Bridges?

    I always wear a hat when I play, it keeps the light/glare out of my eyes. Also, I'm hoping the ez bridge works better than the last bridge I am sending back.

    Jump Bridges?

    I actually received the attached device in the mail today and tried it out. While it does elevate the bridge higher, it's very unstable due to its construction in my opinion. The vertical shaft is too thin, and a little horizontal tab 2/3 of the way up gets in the way. If you try to stabilize it...

    Jump Bridges?

    Also, if I attached the ez jumper on the end of a stick, just like a standard bridge as we all know it, would it be ok then?

    Jump Bridges?

    I am on a vnea league and will inquire the operators of this league to get their determination.

    Jump Bridges?

    This is how I interpret the rule that's being questioned. In that case, the bridge hand is not even being used, but just the mechanical bridge itself. When players use a standard bridge, those attached to a longish stick, your normal bridge hand can be a elevated a couple of feet on the end of...

    I found this YouTube video online:

    Jump Bridges?

    Thank you for your post, I appreciate it, but having a bit of difficulty understanding it. Are you in agreement that these particular bridges are legal, or illegal?

    Jump Bridges?

    Thank you guys, I'm a decent jumper, but have trouble on close in jumps. Strange, I have large hands but can't seem to get a stable bridge going, causing me to make poor contact. I can close in Jump maybe 30% of the time, and long jumps, when there is a bit of distance between what I am jumping...

    Jump Bridges?

    I am wondering if either of these items are legal to use in competition? Has anybody tried either of these? If so what is your opinion? https://a.co/d/077MdOOy https://a.co/d/0bngyEkn

    Why did I miss the ball? Did my aim fail, or was it my mechanics?

    Mechanics. On b/r's, t/r's, I move around without much thinking going on, in fact, I rarely remember the shots I have made. When I over think, my mechanics suffer, and misses happen. Since you are asking this question, I think pressure is causing you to tighten up a little changing your...

    Lowest deflection kielwood

    I really think you are over emphasizing the qualities of KW shafts. They aren't the savior in the game of pool, your skill set is. Also, I think low deflection is not necessarily better than the deflection a maple shaft offers. I wonder how professional pool players in the past Made It by with...

    Lowest deflection kielwood

    Could it be said that with a shaft that has more deflection, probably the maple shaft, you can apply more torque to the cue ball with more action than a stiff carbon fiber shaft? A lot of people are so used to Wood, and the deflection it offers, that wood is there go to shaft. I have been...

    Lowest deflection kielwood

    Is low deflection something that you really want, especially after years of maple shafts? Do players actually see their game improve with ld play? I am a 500 fargo player and I can alternate between wood and cf easily, without me noticing much. I actually think I prefer wood for feedback.
