Hello, I have a predator 314 shaft (1st gen) that I have been using for 13 years. The ferrule starts cracking and I am thinking about replacement. However, I can not seem to find this ferrule anywhere. Anybody know where I can still get these ferrules? Or can I pay someone to repair it? I live...

I believe it is true. I sent my cue to them for repair 10 days ago. They just returned the broken cue back to me, unfixed, without any explanation. I was really mad when I received my cue. Now I feel more sorry than mad. OB has been a really good brand. Best wishes...

This is already October. Is the online version released yet? Any idea when it is gonna be released? I have been waiting for a year...

Thanks man! This is a used table. I think now I have the 4 legs leveled pretty well. Wherever I put the level meter, the bubble is always in the middle. But the slate still seems a little bit off-level at some point. If I slow roll the cue ball diagonally, from one corner pocket to the other, it...

Hello, I have a 9ft diamond Pro-Am ball return table. It was leveled by a mechanic a few weeks ago. But since it is sitting on a carpet, it is a little bit off-level now, and I want to do it myself. Here is a picture of the table I am talking about...

No, pool cues are not significantly longer than snooker cues. They are really about the same, both around 58 inches. Trust me, I played 6 years of snooker before I started to play pool. Snooker cue is just smaller in diameter. Also, snooker cue is usually made of one piece of wood, so you can...

bent bridge arm Hi FranCrimi. I would like to make some discussion about his 'bent brige arm'. You said the same thing about my stance earlier. My bridge arm is bent too. I don't know why you don't like the bent arm. But I have seen more people using a 'bent arm' than 'straight arm'. I think...

Thanks for watching the whole video and giving your valuable suggestions! 1. Do you mean cutting the 6 ball at 10:45? I actually used no english, just top spin. I just hit it to thick. The cue ball feels a bit too far from the rail. I would use some top-inside english if the cue ball is a few...

I am not standing parallel to my cue. I mean my two feet are parallel to each other, one left, one right, which is what most snooker players do. 9 ball players mostly have one foot in the front, and one foot in the back. At my skill level, I don't think it matters that much. I think stance is...

You should watch some snooker video, pleforowicz. The way I shoot is more like a snooker player, except the body movement part. But this is a problem I developed after I met some pool hustlers (I does work pretty well if you want to hustle people, lol). I didn't have this body movement problem...

Thanks FranCrimi. As you can see, my table is kind of slow, especially the rails. The rails don't bounce very well. That's why you see me punching the balls a lot. I would use more english on a fast table. Anyway, you know the difference. My stance is more like a snooker stance, with my two feet...

Thanks! So, either way, I need to be really careful from 4 to 5, right? Actually, my angle on the 4 ball was pretty good. But I made the angle wrong on the 5 ball. I guess the 2nd option works better for my table. My rails are kind of slow. So to run 2 rails, I need a big enough angle on the 5...

Thanks for your advice, Allan. You are absolutely right. Being emotional is a bad thing for sure. But I need to work on this slowly. If I totally hide my emotion right now, I believe I will destroy my game too. I grew up in a very competitive environment, in which you would fall behind other...

Hi Tony, thanks for your valuable suggestions. You have pointed out exactly what my problems are. 1. Poping up problem. I don't know when I started to develop this bad habbit. But you are right, I do have this problem. I used to play a lot of 8 ball and snooker in China, 10 years ago. I had a...

I recorded some of my 10 ball ghost games. I am not happy with the way I was playing. I think I still have a lot of room to improve my concept, so the game could be easier. Anyway, there are quite a few games in this video, some of them I ran out, some of them I didn't. Any suggestion is...
