    I use the Test area to temporarily hold snippets from old posts. I am preparing a new post to place in the Main Forum. Once I have all the old posts collected here, I will post it in the Main Forum. I am collecting posts on the difficulties in learning to play pool. It takes some time...

    Tip size

    Some of that more-accurate feel may be due to the taper. Compared to the hybrid-conical Cynergy (and probably Revo) the Rhino shaft is helluva lot straighter (in the first 9" below ferrule, the Rhino width stays the same versus increasing by 1.8mm in the Cynergy).

    Does it seem like everyone is a Flipper / Reseller these days?

    Maybe you are right but what I find is that there are very, very few practically new cues for sale. For example, McDermott sells the H-Series weight-adjustable-butt cues for $700+. But I don't find any used ones at all for sale. The same is true for Black Blade cues. Can you give any guess...

    Stroke trainers

    Its $70+ with shipping. The same Korean company also sells a stroke-strengthening gizmo for $400+. The photo is of a cue stick connected to the unit. _

    Standard Pocket Sizes

    One AZer wrote asking why practice with pocket reducers? But why? They suck for playing actual games or ghost, and if you're talking practice, shooting between two golf tees or balls will do the same thing. Those things really suck for actual games or playing the ghost. I haven't yet bought the...

    CRICAL carbon fiber shaft review.

    Your model (probably below) is different from Garczar's post #11 and the Crical CL-0x and CL-PROx discussed at https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/crical-pro-great-amazon-deal.574516 __

    Tip size

    I play with a 10.5mm Cynergy. I bought a 11.8mm Revo and sold it because I preferred the smaller Cynergy tip. I bought a Rhino 10.5mm shaft and like it. I like the pro taper of it better than the Revo's and Cynergy's hybrid conical shafts. It is my preference mostly because I seem to see...

    Cuetec Avid vs Cuetec TrueWood II butt comparison

    Why not repost this in the main forum? It may get more replies there. Your post is not a review but is rather a request for a review. When butts such as the two you describe share so many specifications, I would not think there would be any performance hit. Butts do not matter much except...

    Crical Pro- great Amazon deal

    Please post a photo of the butt (or note the colors and design) and determine if its pro taper or not. Thanks.

    Crical Pro- great Amazon deal

    I like Rhino's 10.5mm pro taper. I might convince a friend to buy the Crical but he thinks the Rhino's small tip is OK. There's got to be other CL-0x and CL-Crical-Upgrade-PROx buyers on AZBilliards. An Amazon buyer bought a CL-03 pro taper shaft (Garczar's pro taper model). His review is...
