I've lost quite a bit of interest in playing pool lately as I'm very focused on school while I work full time on top of that so I don't have much time to play anymore. As a result, I'm looking to sell my OB cue (which I've literally shot with probably 6-7 times since I bought it) and I'm putting...

The benefit of a hard tip is that it gets everything into the hole easier =)

Like everyone else has said; it's going to be personal preference. I prefer a soft hitting cue with good feedback and I've never found that in a Schon no matter how many I've test hit with; they always feel like they have very "stiff" hits. But, Jacoby cues have a nicer hit and feel for what I...

This is certainly possible. I am basing my conclusion based on the various players I've seen around Chicago and Wisconsin and many of them are great reasons why the APA might want to bump up 9-ball to SL10s or 11s, haha. Being a "9" is such a gray area, I feel. That being said, one of the...

In no particular order: Justin Hall, Justin Bergman, Roberto Gomez, Shane, Alex P.

I'd say you're about a 5.

Did you not understand he was being sarcastic? ;)

I did but I don't think I'm a 7 and a 9 based on the fact that I've played different APA players from different areas. The area I predominantly play in, the LO is pretty notorious for raising players quickly to break teams up so people have to bring in new players, etc. Also, the players...

I do but only on 7 foot tables. Hitting the balls square with less force produces a sufficient enough break and I almost always break with my playing cue while playing nine ball.

I'm done playing APA. Got bumped up to a 7 too fast and bumped up to a 9 too fast so I can't find any stable teams. Moving on to another league hopefully, soon.

About a month or so ago I was playing 9-ball league against my buddy and he had a Revo shaft - they certainly play well but I'm too big a fan of feeling wood grain between my fingers when I play. I didn't notice anything dramatically different between them and the other LD cues I've played with...

Monstrous break. I would have died laughing if he had somehow hooked himself on the opening shot. Jeez.

Ah, and in case it's relevant - this is on 7 foot Diamonds for the most part!

Thanks for the feedback everyone! Like I said, I usually check the rack to look for the gaps and I use that to determine where I break from. But, I played one of the better 9s in our league and I noticed he was consistently making the one in the side and squatting the cueball in the middle of...

Can anyone explain to me how making the headball in 9-ball works? Where to break from, how to adjust if the one ball is coming up short, long, etc. I know a few players that do it regularly and I haven't been around one of those guys recently enough to ask them. Ordinarily, I use Joe...

I'm fairly sure he had an OB-1 that wasn't a plus - if I remember correctly, they were offered in 11.75mm before the OB-1+ were coming out. Anyhow, I did see that the OB-2+s come in at 11.75mm stock so I don't have to worry about getting a shaft turned down anymore. I used to have an innate...

Mike, I was eying down OB's new Merry Widow design - 3/8x10 joint with an OB-1+ shaft which I know can be taken down to 11.75 because I have a few friends with OB shafts at that diameter. Though, it wasn't a plus shaft, it was an original I believe so maybe that makes a difference. Was also...

Thanks for the replies everyone! Yeah, when I had my sneaky made the maker stressed how turning down a shaft to 11.75 is a process that takes time - I'm only asking if they'd be willing to do it if I was totally cool with them taking the time necessary to turn it down to that thickness. The...

Does anybody know if Seyberts can turn a shaft down below 12.3mm if that's what I wanted? I prefer 11.75mm on my playing cues and I'm wondering if I order a cue if they turn it down to that thickness?
