Yeah, the Seyberts tubes are the best, those things are thick and heavy!! I save every one I get for possible future sales and they're fantastic. My preference is to put a cue in one of those and then into a square or triangle box. Doesn't roll, super strong inside. I've done the PVC thing...

You can try to sell locally or online using Venmo or Friends/Family type payments, those don't get recorded as income on a 1099 like a good/services payment does. Or you can sell like normal and then you only need to pay tax on the profits, but that means being able to document the original...

Predator Revo 12.4 Radial shaft in 30" length with Kamui Black Medium Tip (installed by Predator at time of purchase) and weighing 4oz. This shaft has been test hit only, bought it for a lower deflection option to my Jacoby V4 but then Jacoby came out with the V5. This was test hit in a...

For whatever reason I don’t mind it on a break or jump cue, but wouldn’t have a playing cue with a big logo on it.

Put in a backorder yesterday for a 30" radial V5 in either 12.1 (new size I saw listed on their site) or 12.5, whichever they get to first. They said it should be around a couple weeks or so. Looking forward to getting my hands on one to compare to my V4s

Yeah, agreed. I've had some really good luck with Predator cues, they're fine playing cues from a modern performance perspective, but they are not worth the $3k asking price on these or the new Blak series IMO. I was going to drop about that on the most recent Panthera drop, knowing those...

Agreed. And that is a whole other level of competition pressure in that situation. I've played league pool for many years but when I started playing tournaments too the pressure was definitely different. League is fun and competitive, but it's the same people week after week, same tables...

What is the URL you're talking about? I've purchased numerous times from the official Predator website and they're great. But "Predator Cue Shop" sounds like a potentially fraudulent website....close enough to sound official but not predatorcues.com which is their actual website. As always...

New site is nice, old one was certainly in need of an update. And, as someone who sets up the data for websites like this, give it some time. Something like the cue archive may not be dead, may just be a later phase of the transition project. Have had very similar things happen in my work...

Yeah, it's interesting. No mention of deflection either. I'm very curious what this will play like and would really like to compare to my V4s. I would love slightly lower deflection with the same feel but not sure if that is what they're going for here or why they changed how the shaft flexes.

I too am very interested. I currently play with a Jacoby and a pair of V4s, will likely grab a V5 to try out as soon as they’re available in 30” length.

I'd give the nod to Cuetec. Good looking cue with decent tech stock. Great extension option. Easy upgrade to a Cynergy shaft down the road and can keep the Avid shaft as backup. They're just smartly designed affordable modern cues. Cuetecs whole range is really solid these days, the...

Where is it written that allows this? You said that and then I posted the WPA rules that indicate it's a foul. If there is a rule that I missed that allows this please post it because I didn't see it. Just because one ref said it's not a foul doesn't mean he's correct, people make errors.

What rule is that? From WPA I see: 3.5 BALL DRIVEN OFF THE TABLE It is a foul to drive an object-ball off the table. Whether that ball is spotted depends on the rules of the game (see 2.6 Driven off the Table). 5.4 SECOND SHOT OF THE RACK – PUSH OUT If no foul is committed on the break...

If you mean jumped ball off the table and not pocketed then it's a foul per BCA rules. 5. PUSH OUT. The player who shoots the shot immediately after a legal break may play a push out in an attempt to move the cue ball into a better position for the option that follows. On a push out, the cue...
