I’ve had a fair few over the years including Justis, Whitten, Murnak, Fields, JB, etc. for my money Al King all day long. Uses JB interiors so the cue protection is excellent and his style and quality of worksmanship is fantastic! This was one I got for myself for my 40th birthday 6 years...

I don't really have any truly expensive cues. $2000-2500 is about the most expensive I've had and those certainly got played with. I don't have a table at home so if I'm not taking it out to play it's doing me no good. I'm lucky to have nice and what I consider very safe places to play and...

Yep, nice room, played there a few times

Tough shot. I have a strong draw but not the best at making the ball when jacked up and trying to draw it so shooting the shot this way would be my last choice. Even if it is straight in, unless the table is really tight I'd probably consider cheating the pocket to one side or another. If...

No rule, it's more effective for them I believe and I think they probably have better accuracy with the side arm or traditional jacked up stroke. I suck at it, haha. I only use that style for longer jumps with a lower cue angle and some distance between the cue ball and the impeding ball. I...

The JB 2x5/3x4 is his best design in my opinion. The shape combined with the fact that the two main butt sections are at the sides give them more room than his larger cases where all the butts go in the middle. And while they don't stretch, the foam does compress a little over time. They're...

I haven’t spent any real time with a BK3 but the BK4 is excellent. I had a BK Rush and the BK4 is pretty much its equal. I even just got a BK Rush shaft for my BK4 butt after selling the BK Rush full cue, just to have both the wood and carbon options for my BK4. Anyway, took it out with the...

I love a good simple cue like that, especially when it’s made with a gorgeous piece of wood! Ive only experience my Treadway jump/break but it makes me want to try me of his playing cues, it’s a really nicely built cue. Congrats!

Yeah, I've tried three different times. First time it wouldn't work at all. Second time is sorta worked for a bit and then stopped. This time it worked for a little but I didn't have time to watch too long so no clue if it's working better for real or not. Will try again sometime soon.

Yeah, I signed up for a month to check it out and I'm probably gonna cancel because I can't easily get it on my TV, I can get AirPlay to work about half the time but half the time it doesn't work for some reason I can't figure out. Never had that problem using it with other sites. Lack of...

The new carbon jump cues make a difference for sure, they are just easier. I have or have had a Cuetec Avid, Predator Air II, Predator Air Rush, and currently a Wheat State. I've also used a Propel before. The Wheat State is my favorite by far but it's also very hard to get ahold of one...

Yeah, I had a BK Rush and a BK4 and they broke almost exactly the same...maybe the BK Rush had the tiniest bit less deflection but I'm not even sure of that. Ended up selling the BK Rush because I had the green set of BK Rush and Air Rush and it was worth a bit of $$$ on the used market and I...

At least it's not as bad as Whyte/Triple 60! Their shafts are already expensive at $600 but the $150 up-charge to $750 to get a 30" shaft is ridiculous!

I have no problem with a truly obvious jump shot. If it's pretty clear to any knowledgeable player what the shooter is intending to do (jump over a ball, contact the intended object ball and make it in an open pocket) then I have no problem with an opponent treating it as an obvious shot. I...

I've tried a fair few and I keep going back to the Ultimate Tip Tool and the little piece of leather that Kamui includes with their tip protectors. The blade style ones I've had trouble getting to cut smoothly and evenly without damaging the ferrule. I try to keep on top of it by maintaining...
