    Anyone clean their tips on the carpet before putting it back in the case?

    I do every… time I’m done playing. Break, jump and play cues all get wiped in the carpet. Stood next to the owners talking to them while doing it too. They’re fine with it. The cleaning crew comes at 2 am.

    Why are Predator cue extensions so damned expensive?

    That's where most of the Predator stuff is made.

    At this level the lag is so important

    Glove

    This is a good answer. Someone asks for advice on buying a glove and all these people come here just to say they don't use one. For me all the gloves I've used only last about 4-6 months until I started using the Longoni Sultan glove. It's lasted for at least two or three years at this point...

    How did this become OK ?

    I don't like it either. Modesty is more respectful than this crazy display.

    Predators new closed finger gloves…

    I also collect watches. I don't like wearing a watch when I play. Gets in the way of the glove, or glove in the way of the watch, and I either have to keep the watch under the glove or above which is awkward. As to the band, about 90% of my watches, just a guess, are metal bracelets. I can't...

    Revo carbon fiber shaft new tip Kumui clear installed and there is an intermittent click noise…….

    I've had these happen several times and in all of my cases it's always been an air pocket.

    Wood Shaft v CF

    Baseball bats are more likely to loser their integrity because they're hitting a ball at 100 miles an hour going cross grain and that's the key. In pool we're not hitting cross grain we're hitting right into the grain of the wood. So wood shafts will last for decades without problems if you...

    Why do pros rarely use the dart stroke for jump shots?

    I'm 6' 4" which is probably short by your standards but I use the dart stroke only. Reason is that both my shoulder are totally gone and I can't lift my arms near shoulder height. I'll leave the reasons alone. I also have a buddy I play against about two to three times a week and he is about...

    Why different shaft diameters for different games?

    LOL....love it!

    Why different shaft diameters for different games?

    I agree with this, except of course it's "affect"... But anyway, I have all three Predator Revo diameters. Got the 12.9 within a month of it being out, actually had to buy a cue with it on from Seyberts to get the shaft because they were all sold out. Then went from that to the 11.8 and...

    Simonis alternative

    I would just get Andy. Don't know how it works with home installing but I will never ever get a cloth where the manufacturer's name is under the end-rails. No way no how.

    Oh no Wolfy got an LD

    Does that mean your previous criticism and opinion on low deflection shafts were said before even trying one for a few weeks?

    Kamui Tips

    I've never liked them. Get hard very fast and glaze over very quickly. Daily scuffing needed. For me it's G2 medium all the way on all my carbon shafts.

    Do You Find Pros Playing 8-ball Boring?

    Thanks for posting that. I liked watching it. Especially liked that there were NO slow motion instant replays at all AND they referred to the balls by their numbers. Not the "red three" or the "green six". Wish they still did it like this. No repeats at all. Zero!

    Best and worst commentator??

    I don't care as long as they don't refer to the ball's color I'm fine. Just call the ball by the numbers instead of saying stuff like "I don't know if he can see the green six ball". That's a Matchroom thing. Accu-Stats always did a fantastic job on their videos. That and please drop ALL...

    Greatest JUMP SHOTS of All Time in Pro Pool Tournament Matches

    Looks like greatest jump shots you could find on You Tube after browsing a few videos. May or may not be the “greatest of all time”.

    Burnishing the tip

    Predator themselves right here say they use Loctide 495. Since I first saw this video a year ago I've been doing it like that and really like the results. No effect on the hardness of the tip and no mushrooming. Best of both worlds.
