even up to this day I always wondered what a player he would have been had he not taken up the Mezz endorsement

For the slip stroke, I found it easier to maintain stability when the weight is resting on my bridge hand as the grip hand slides back – that's how I used to do it. Not sure if that's the 'classic' way of doing it. For the stroke slip, it was easier for me if the balance was closer to the...

A cheap break cue is more than enough to get the job done. It really depends on what you want out of your purchase. 1. Results –> the only thing that matters is what cues you can try out, so you can find a cue that fits you best. 2. Better your odds –> these high tech cues, when engineered...

1. It flexes pretty much like any cue. My follow through only causes a minimal flex though 2. You can use it as a long jump cue, no problem there. 3. Well it’s a bit like comparing a BK3 vs anything else, really. I’m afraid I only can talk about mezz, because that’s the only brand of popular...

There are many with the ability to win it, but these three are the most consistent of the top tier players in their respective continents right now. shrewd choices

i've played all manner of cues from Players to Ginas and all points in between –*my favourite cue is an Action brand (velly well made in china) sneaky pete that's basically a house cue. make no mistake, this is el cheapo shit. best playing cue (to me) ever. nice hit, snappy response, plenty of...

That's true none of us needs any of these expensive customs, Revos, Becues, etc, regardless of whether we're playing for a living or not. Matter of suitability and whether they meet requirements. Pretty sure most of us are in the 'want' category... SVB is an outlier and rare talent when it...

I agree wholeheartedly. the old meuccis were really something else. sweet playing cues

The Cameo/brooch is one of my favourite Meucci designs. Bob's stuff has a certain charm, a little je ne sais quoi if you will. Almost pulled the trigger on a modern one 10 years ago but had seen too many problematic moochies at the time and thought better of it.

The 4-rail shot (or 3 for some) is actually quite natural. Even if you undercut or overhit you have some margin for error. There’s a small chance of a scratch but that’s mostly down to bad delivery more than anything else. But i digress it’s not relevant to the original question. I feel the...

It's a relatively small problem. i feel it makes the game more enjoyable and interesting; fascinating, really. if they did this at school i would have been far more attentive during physics classes

If you keep your play relatively simple, LD shafts can be easier. It sounds silly but one big factor for me in switching was so that i didnt have to aim at empty space in trying to hit a hard stun run shot with a fair amount of english. Yeah it's a matter of time and commitment. Honestly, I've...

The game wouldn't be as fun if they didn't throw! :grin: (some people would say the same for deflection)

You probably don't have to, I know a lot of people who use low deflection shafts and they don't – consciously at least. I use very low deflection cues – Revo / OB Classic Pro / etc, and I use a combination of parallel and pivot, depending on the effect of the cue ball I want. I was playing...

In principle yes but that’s just one part of the equation, among other things, and you still need to think about the effect of swerve where applicable

Concur. He’s been a joy to deal with.

Solid form n I love the intensity in his eyes. Hope to see him on the TV table someday

his all-round game is far better these days, but imho he never looked more comfortable than when that cue was in his hands...
