Does a bit of mushrooming make a difference?

If the pockets are too tight for your skill level, you will have a difficult time improving your cue ball control. You could always get the larger pocket, and for honing your shot get pocket reducers. I have a set of pocket reducers, don't really use them much, but you got to be very accurate to...

I like the looks of that bag. One thing I was skeptical on was the quality of the zipper?

The shoulder strap of the Urbane is sewn on and tears off easily if you carry it by that particular strap which I do. The sport case, in my opinion is very poorly designed, the carry handle is 3/4 of the way up the case Body and Carries at about a 30° angle from top to bottom. It hurts the...

I think Predator is really milking their brand name, and not putting out the best quality stuff. I couldn't believe the two cases I purchased from them, the Urbain and the Roadline, ang quality wasn't there.

I agree. For me, who uses an open Bridge most of the time, probably a little lateral movement in my arm stroke. In League Play the other night, I won three of four games from some pretty good players. Although, the game I lost I had a 10-ft shot on the 8 ball to win that game. I attribute that...

I miss shots often enough times with a long bridge length. I tried to keep it 8-10 inches. I am a 450 fargo.

I wonder how much you pay for the Predator name alone, as opposed to the actual quality of the table? My experience with Predator equipment is that it is somewhat cheaply made.

I have never had a predator cue, but I have had two cases from them. The metro, and the Urbain. To me, these Predator cases are poorly designed, not having a detachable shoulder strap, and are just sewn directly to the main body of the case. Being like that, the stitching eventually tears off. I...

I have two Rhinos, and both still have the F1 tip on them. I didn't think I would like the tip when I purchased the shaft, but don't see any reason to change because it plays nicely.

Sorry, but no I did not. I just remember that that they were top brands (maybe lucasi, meucci) that looked like too good for the price.

I never thought of that aspect, that would have been sort of satisfying to me based on his reaction over my shot. But the answer is that he did not pick up the cue ball, so in that respect he was okay. He had pretty much the easiest shot you could imagine on a pool table pocketing the eight ball...

I hope this post is in the proper section. Scenerio: 1) Opponent was solids 2) My shot, I was on the 8 ball 3) My intention was to hit the eight ball slowly hoping to hit a rail with either the 8 ball or opponents ball without making the solid in order to block his next shot. I was unsuccessful...

To be honest with you, even though what you say would be a great thing to do, with this type of individual I would be afraid of doing that. He is a scary individual who I wouldn't put much past him in retaliation. He is a big guy and I would suspect he could do an individual some serious harm up...

An individual approached me at the local pool hall with a bunch of high quality, top name sticks for sale at amazingly low prices. He is sort of suspect anyway with the type of person he is. It could be tempting to some, but after I thought the situation through, I didn't even consider...
