Used the app a couple times over the weekend to watch both live and pre-recorded content, worked great for me casting to my TV via Chromecast. Happy with the app and will finally keep my subscription going now.

The app also doesn't update right away for new logins apparently. I signed up today and can log in on the web but the app won't let me log in using the same credentials. I actually think I ran into this once before in some way so I'm hoping it'll resolve itself in the next day or so, but still...

Nice! I've been waiting for that, it wasn't going to use the web interface so I haven't subscribed but said I would as soon as they did an app so just signed up. This way I'll actually use it and watch on my TV. I know you can cast from a computer but my only computer is my work laptop and...

Obviously "impossible to play without one" is a bit hyperbolic, but I think the intended point is "wouldn't choose to play without this additional tool" now that we've all been exposed to it and the additional flexibility it offers. That's were I fall. I certainly can play without one and...

I typically see most mid-extension users using them to get to a comfortable hand position where they're not falling off the back of the cue rather than keeping the same type of arm/hand position and sliding it forward. So you're right if they were just using it for extra length and keeping...

Agree completely and it's one of the reason I've moved away from the more classic style custom cues I liked in the past. I eventually ended up landing on a Jacoby as a good solid and locally made cue that has both extension and carbon shaft options. These days I wouldn't even consider a cue...

I so often forget there is more to AZB than the forum, thanks for the reminder, good stuff

Honestly, I usually start looking at my phone (sometimes I'll even play my Virtual Pool game, haha) . It keeps my mind busy rather than getting frustrated at the slow play. I keep track of what's going on at the table in my peripheral vision and watch the actual shots, but I don't need to...

I'm actually kinda surprised we haven't as well. When Cuetec released the Cynergy X full carbon cue I really thought that was going to be the start of it but seems like almost nobody is using that or any other full carbon cue. Sure there are some out there, but very very few from what I've...

It's a Kamui Black Medium. I much prefer a medium tip on the Jacoby shafts since they feel softer than a Revo to start with.

The one they have pictured isn't very figured and does appear to have a darker/oranger stain than mine, but it is spalted maple I think. I'm sure they're not using their nicest most figured woods for what is essentially a $500 butt, but it's still pretty nice! Here is mine which has a little...

It was $950 when I bought it, just at tick over $1k now but still a great deal for a nice cue with a carbon shaft. I've had many cues that were more expensive, but this has become my favorite player ever...

I have a Jacoby V5 that's about 12.2mm. If you're trying to hit a slight massé shot you first have to account for the fact that a carbon shaft doesn't deflect like a wood shaft and when hitting this type of shot many people rely on that deflection to first get them around the impeding ball...

I prefer watching 8 ball in general. Much more variety in pattern and method for how a player attacks the rack. Rotation, by definition, removes that aspect since you have to play the balls in order, it can become very obvious how many racks are going to play out after the break. Not so with...

This feels like proudly proclaiming to all that you've discovered that water is wet. Yeah...being able to learn and having a consistently straight stroke are important. That isn't any kind of revelation to anyone that has played pool for a while.
