After going thru 4 pages I must say... well played

I'm much dumber than most esteemed posters commenting here, so i have difficulty following the discussion so please bear with me. With reference to the convergent diagram mentioned: to aim that line and to hit the point as indicated i'd have to have a soft punchy stroke with a hair of...

sorry i edited my post before i saw this; i had meant to say force follow, its a complaint that a lot of LD users tend to have on certain shots. i agree that the balance does help and hinder the stun effects though, but not everyone thinks to make these sort of adjustments, be it changing the...

Some force follow angles are trickier, especially those straight in shots where you need to cheat the pocket for position. For a shot that already needs a good touch, beginners may find it a mindf***. i think part of the problem that leads to this debate is that a lot of people who encounter...

more worried about whether or not the shaft is stable. how much did he take off? carbon shafts are basically just a couple of rolled up sheets of 'paper'

I used to use a 18.25oz EP with a 4.1oz shaft but it also works nicely with lighter shafts. theres no lack of power and a lot of people could not believe that it was that light. These days i favour the heavier cue because my stroke has become more compact and my style has changed significantly...

I'm not sure if there are counterfeit Revos around so i cant really say much about the shaft you were presented, but i do know that the first commercially available revo shafts only came in 12.9 and were sold with a p3 butt (P3 REVO GN/GW/CN/CW). These revo shafts did not have the diameter...

Just to add to that i think it depends on the individual.. tips behave differently throughout its life and some would prefer the tips during the first couple of weeks (more lively) and some may prefer it when they are more or less hardened. Either way they choose to approach it, its as mentioned...

He did have to serve in the army and battle leukaemia... I think that hampered his momentum back then, if I recall correctly

i agree. he only has an above average safety game but when coupled with his shotmaking and fearlessness its usually more than enough to overcome most. Little Ko is like a more balanced version of Filler. but Filler's formula also applies a lot of pressure on the opponent, which really can throw...

撞球之子 – zhuàng qiú zhī zǐ 天王殺手 – tiān wáng shā shǒu I’ve no idea about this one, doesn’t ring a bell at all and I’d be curious to know as well. Couldn’t find the thread to look it up either. Maybe local dialect?

Ko Pin Yi – 撞球王子 – prince of pool Ko Pin Chung – 天王殺手 － Literally: heavenly king killer. Basically it means giant killer. or if you want to give it a star wars-y vibe, starkiller lol

I can share an anecdote for this, which was told to me by my friend's dad who was part of the team hosting efren. However, this was over 10 years ago so i've omitted the stuff that dont remember fully, and I apologise in advance if i get some of the details wrong. but this is pretty much the...

cool, thanks for the info! didnt intend to imply that, just tot that it was a more easily identifiable example given that the people who would be interested tend to be from that crowd..

It seems modelled after the air 2. What's the balance/weight distribution like? A friend of mine has the regular Go shaft. It certainly has less of the ping that people seem to take issue with.

voted. i play with a glove regardless, but know of people who abhor gloves and would appreciate such a product if it can make an already smooth shaft even smoother, myself included

lol careful with that can of worms there...

I think that’s a tough rack to try and run out. Still think that your decision to play a safe on the 2 is still the best play. The other thing to consider is whether or not it would have been better to play the safety with the 1 instead. Personally if I had to run out i’d just take the 1 head...

I firmly believe in this. whenever i feel something is off i can never make the shot, even if its a hanger. or if i barely make it i know i got lucky. but even if the shot is difficult but everything feels right i know i will make it. of course, the context is that i've racked up enough...

Used both long term; as previous posters have mentioned, they hold their shine much better
