    Help with opinions about O'Min, or Cueroc pool cues?

    Omin makes snooker cues at affordable prices. there are no pool cues on their web site, which leads me to believe that they are rebranded cues marketed in the USA. On Syberts it says nothing about a cored shaft, so maybe there is a new shaft out there, maybe the info is not accurate..... I...

    Solid vs layered tips

    How long have you had the tip installed and play with it? The benefits of layered tip are that they hold shape better, mushroom less and have a better consistency in feel. you probably won't be able to tell the difference between newly installed layered tip and a newly installed solid tip with...

    What's your favorite pool memory from 2025?

    It's been an interesting year for me. Got back to the game and the world of pool after being a way for about 15 years. Equipment changed, I changed, the top pro players have changed... I signed up for an 8ball league and started to play in a weekly 9ball tournaments and been doing pretty good...

    Bergman will play WNT events in 2026

    For team USA it's too little, too late... For Bergman, he should stay in UP where he is king, on the international circuit he's second tier.

    The history of predator low defection.. interesting video

    On my first Predator cue (98-1), I had the pre-cat logo, my later shafts (that I still own) are all 314-2 I did not feel any difference in the hit when I got the newer shafts. it did have a shorter ferrule with less front end mass and improved performance. This is all in people's heads, just...

    The history of predator low defection.. interesting video

    There is an on-going argument around here about what is needed to reduce cue ball deflection and a lot of people here says that only front end mass matters, yest in this video as well, it is explained that a lower mass shaft will be the thing that moves away from the path instead of the cue...

    Not so sure about that, 99% of the shots with the 314 shaft I aim with no compensation.

    Predator Men's 10 Ball JAX

    Didn’t stop players from around the world to show up. Maybe the others have enough money 😂 $30K is a year’s pay and something more in other countries. Maybe that’s the difference that we are trying to make between American pool vs the rest of the world.

    Tougher tables did not help USA pros for 20 years

    The EPBF is much more than a tour organizer. They govern pool from all aspects. Referee programs, coaches programs, European championships, Eurotour, working with countries federations. It does what it needs to do for their position in the pool hierarchy, sitting between the WPA and European...

    Tougher tables did not help USA pros for 20 years

    everybody plays basketball but the NBA is still the strongest league and where every player on the planet wants to play. It all comes down to one thing, for Americans pool is not a sport. And America will stay behind as long as it doesn't change. And you may not agree with me, but it's the BCA...

    Mezz Cues

    The fact that people are willing to pay overpriced prices doesn’t not make the product worth it.
