    Questions about Mcdermott cues

    I love Mcdermott cues, I have a D-25 that I bought in the late 80's that is an amazing cue. I also have owned a few Schon's and although they feel different they both hit really great. I would recommend both. Never had a Joss, but they have a great following. If you can't make a ball with a...

    Zero-X Billiards response to allegations made by Max Eberle, Jimmy Reid and others.

    Well, I haven't seen Jimmy Reid's videos, but I have seen the Zero-x videos and really liked them. Lots of haters on here. I guess technically, everyone that draws a cue ball is copying the first guy who drew a cue ball. So many people on here want to jump on the "America" bandwagon...Well...

    Pool dvds?

    I play pool daily and love watching videos on pool. Some videos I get nothing out of, like match play, but really enjoy. Then there are the instructional videos, some good and some have nothing to offer. Over the years I have picked up some fundamentals, ways to get position that I have not...

    ? about a break cue selection

    A simple answer is no. Everyone suffers from a " grass is greener on the other side of the fence" once in a while, but you just need to build more confidence in what you have. I used to break with Predator BK2 and it hit fine, I don't have experience with the BK3. I've switch to a Billiard...

    how to play on a Diamond barbox...

    Diamonds and valleys are night and day apart. I really enjoy the diamond tables, if you play decent, you will definitely like them better than valley tables. As far as adjusting your game, I would not try to adjust, just play. In my experience, adjustments sometime lead to creating problems. I...

    JB stoops to new lows

    I for one love JB cases, not bashing any others, but I have owned a couple and I'm thinking about getting another one pretty soon. The quality compared to the price is a winner for me.

    Triangle vs. Layered Tips...

    I'm currently shooting Triangle tips and I'm shooting better than I ever have. I'm really liking them and don't think I am gonna try anything else in the near future. I used to shoot Elk Master tips, but I had to "shoot them in" to get them to where I liked them. I have tried Moori, Talisman...

    Going from 9-footers to barboxes

    I normally play on 9' tables ( Brunswick and Diamond ) but a couple days a week I practice on 7' diamond tables and I think they play fantastic. I think they reward better play when compared to Valley tables, but that's what makes them nice. I don't really change my game at all, for me they play...

    Paypal gift option

    I've been using PayPal for a long time now and it makes buying and selling easy, but I never use "gift" for purchases. If things ever go wrong, it's all on you.

    It's HISTORY

    That's an awesome case! I love the size, unfortunately for guys like me, I carry so much stuff I "think" I need it wouldn't work. Although I really aspire to use a case like that. Really simplistic and beautiful.

    Brent Summers Jump/Break/Shoot

    I have a cue made by Brent Summers that is just amazing. It's a conversion from an old Brunswick house cue. First, the look, the finish, execution all excellent. It looks to be Macassar ebony, he added bacote at the butt end with a Hoppe ring. It has beautiful ring work that he makes himself...
