I have a bunch of 314-2 shafts, all over 15 years old. Never had an issue with the ferrules. Just recently I've noticed what looks like a crack on one of them... I contribute it to normal wear and tear after so many years of usage. I'm not going to bother with it, it did it's time. It was custom...

Great, out of millions of players around the world, there are two that are exceptional… In any system, a moving part is a weakness point, and since the human body is far from being an accurate machine, the stroke is the weakest point in our game and usually the main reason for misses even at...

We can see that the tighter the pockets, the most accurate and consistent players have developed a more compact stroke. Every movement will reduce accuracy. Old school players with big stroke like Bustamante never had a chance as pocket gotten tighter over the years even before the age factor...

Nothing special, a black Plain Jane with leather wrap and white joint collar and butt cup

Mezz Ignite comes at 11.5 not 11.8 https://mezzcue.com/en/products_pool/shafts/playcue/ignite11-5

made by the same company, I don't know if it's the same. I have the blue Taum V10 and the Green Pagulayan and the Pagulayan feels softer and applies easier and holds better. maybe the green V10 is the same, I don't know, never tried it.

But he didn't change sponsor, just a cue. The interesting part is both his last cue and this one are not of the shelf Viking cues while he still wear the Viking logo on his shirt and Viking are not on his sponsors list on his web site, just Triple 60 (which is still Viking), maybe they make...

I thought so too as Alex played with MEzz shafts in the past but Mezz don't do 11.8mm and this one is said to be made in Canada. From the short video on the web site and some of the details, it looks like it might be a wood core wrapped in CF. an opposite hybrid?

how many factories are out there that make chalk? I bet most of them are just the same thing with different labels.

He also sells a new case good for him, he is in a point of his career that he won't make a lot of money from playing pool but his brand is still strong to sell products. His chalk is good and so are the socks he sent me with the chalk... I also got his glove but haven't tried it yet, I got a...

BTW, the last good case from Predator was their first case that was made by Instroke and came in Leather or Vinyl. I still have mine and still use it when 2x4 is enough for my needs. The padding on all later cases including current cases is just bad.... who would have believed that even CueTech...

To remove chalk dust, clean the tip before inserting the shaft into the case.

Then you don’t need those sleeves

get a decent protective case instead...
