I think it depends on YOUR speed of stroke, if you have a 25mph break speed the weight is probably not going to help you and may even slow your stroke down, if you have a 15mph break speed the weight could help assuming your stroke is good but just not fast, mine is not fast and adding weight...

Exactly!!!

When I got back into playing pool a few years back and discovered this website I asked about the case that protects your cue the best and it was near unanimous JB cases, I leave a 3" extension on my cue at all times except for wall shots, I also use 30" shafts, John built me a case that is 2"...

Losing a lot of money only matters if losing that money matters to you...

This topic has made me think about some other causes that I have never considered, we have been talking about the conscious brain wanting to make the decisions, what about times it relies on the subconscious part of the brain like when driving a car at 70 mph in heavy traffic? You don't think...

It's not a long book and most of what you need is in about 150 pages

there is a point at which no thinking is actually relenting too much control. Or is it? That is the conscious brain trying to run the show again, he is relentless and used to being in control, once you are down on the shot don't THINK about a straight stroke Concentrate on nothing but a...

That is from the book the inner game of tennis, it's not exact word for word but it does explain how the brain works, it's a great read, it has helped me immensely.

You are You are on your way, if placing your front foot works for you then make that your trigger, I like to be fully lined up on the shot before I let go but you need to do what works for you, I have learned how to see the cueball the object ball and the pocket all at the same time, the...

I own the Natural Born Naked cue, Alessandro even built a custom 3" extension for it at a very reasonable price, I'm using the standard 29" butt with the 3" extension and a 30" Prime II 12.0 shaft and couldn't be happier with it, I use the clear Ferrule and added an acrylic pad and am using the...

Talk to Alessandro, he has always responded to calls or emails, Hawaiian Eye turned me on to these cues, they even have CF butts, best hitting cue I have ever owned, these guys are pool players who wanted to bring the same benefits from CF tennis racquets, golf clubs, ect. to pool players, they...

Becue's are made in Italy, great products and company, the will be at SBE next spring, if you are going stop by and talk to them

I have been playing Becue for the last4 years, Becue builds shafts differently than any manufacturer I know of, instead of continuously building the new "best" shaft ever, they build different shafts for different types of hit, the first Prime shaft is very Muecci like, some consider it "whippy"...

There are no such things as easy shots, and no such things as hard shots, it's just the next shot, you don't think, turning on the bathroom light will be hard this time do you? No, you've done it thousands of times, the difference is you don't allow your conscious brain to interfere with...
