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...

Are your Tuesday night matches showing up yet even? It's often 5-7 days before I see my recent matches show up in Fargo. But it's not uncommon for a rating to move a point or two just randomly like that. I've had mine move by a point when I haven't played at all but it's never more than a...

Is this true? Is a v5 coming that soon? Nice if so, I’ll grab one for sure

This is interesting, especially the J Flowers results because I kinda feel like my Jacoby Black v4 shaft does the same. Very low deflection at slow speed but has noticeably more deflection at higher speed. I'd be curious to see if it had similar results if you're ever able to test one of them...

Got the Taom one but haven't used it, I would say I'm not impressed in the quality or size just based on messing around with it at home. Thought maybe it'd be a good option but basically decided to not even bother after handling it. Just gonna stick with carrying it from table to chair in my...

Haha, I hadn't noticed "Default style slightly grayer" before, that name cracks me up. I'm a "Shades of grey" fan myself. The inconsistency in the spelling of gray/grey bugs me though.

I would just stick with the V10. It's so much cleaner anyway I doubt you'll find it leaving much in the way of marks on the grey cloth. I use blue V10. There is one room I hit up occasionally that has grey cloth and every table has a sign saying to use their grey chalk but I and plenty of...
