Funny one i thought i would share. Several years ago i was at the TAP nationals in Carolina. I was in one of the side action rooms where they were playing $50/game 8 ball. after winning a few games, the table narrowed down to just me and 1 other guy. He introduced himself as Cliff and said he...

your basically right. when flakes played dennis at derby part of the spot was that he was getting- a front to a back. bare ball played that way the pockets alternate, so its not actually a handicap. but playing back pocket a giving 1 player a front pocket to an opponents back pocket is...

1 ball/ 1 pocket the game is played differently in different areas around the country. in our area (kenny and i play in the same rooms regularly) we call the game "bare ball" and any foul results in ball in hand. there is never any more than 1 ball on the table. the traditional way is each...

Fabio Petroni won the first tournament on the Eurotour that he played in with the Becue.. Not a big name in the US, but a good win in a very competitive field.

i have both, and use both. here is my opinion. The Becue has a much better feel to it. I think it hits a lot more solid and grabs the ball better. However, i do believe the Becue has slightly more deflection. its not a lot, i only notice it on longer shots using a lot of english. the finish on...

looks like the results page is not being updated again. im pretty sure this happened the previous 2 years as well. its really a shame we dont make it possible to really follow these events as a fan. it holds the sports back. with the technology as it is today, there is no reason why every major...

still awaiting tip change full review is still to come. i had my local cue repairman switching to tips to my standard Zan Soft tips so i can give an honest review comparing apples to apples. should get the cue in hand tonight... im excited!

Version 2 So its been about 6 months since i received my original Becue. When i first started dealing with Becue, i told them that i would be brutally honest in my opinion of the product. The cue i received 6 months ago didnt have many bad things to critique, but i had some pretty detailed...

oh the pain! pains me to even retell this story, but it will be a good read for you all. in the late 80's i was a young boy who knew nothing about pool other than what i learned in the basement. i used whatever cue was available in my basement at the time and was completely content. I lived in...

thanks joey, they are a great company to deal with on a customer service level. i already shot a message over to the owner and am waiting on a reply. i actually dont mind a conical taper, but the taper is just a bit too strong and too high in the shaft for my preferences. i can tell you that in...

First let me say that my screen name of Tony Longoni is based on a previous relationship i have the Longoni Cues. As most of you know my real name is Tony Rudi. I no longer have any relationship with Longoni Cues. I am not being paid in anyway by Becue for this review...

This idea actually has merit, but there are major hurdles which would have to be overcome and some major additions to the premise. 1. In order for this to work, the pro tour and amateur league would have to become one entity so the benefits could be shared equally. 2. there would have to be a...
