That is because EVERYTHING has side effects, which includes approved medication. It's just that when you are sick, the pros outweigh the cons. But if you are healthy, that is very rarely the case, especially long term. If you drive your car like it was a race car with the needles in the red...

Outlawing jump shots is one thing, but masses? The most beautiful and crowd pleasing shot in pool? Not only is it a bad idea, but also unenforcable. I’m not going into detail as to why, if you know the game at a high level, you’ll instantly know. I’ve played almost every cue sport there is: 7...

It's annoying as hell. What's even more annoying is when they finally remove the template, they often leave it on the rail with parts of it overhanging the cushion.

I allowed for it in the poll, change it as much as you want.:)

I think it would be ok to vote medium, then? I just wonder what people are currently using.

Let's get real, nothing on here is important. It's just a matter of satisfying my curiosity. My preference is set at hard tips. I've tried them all, and that's what I like.

I'm curious what the players on here prefer.

The so-called performance edge of carbon fiber shafts is weapons grade baloney. I have never seen anyone successfully demonstrate it, and I haven't been able to do it myself, either. What a pro uses should have very little impact on what you yourself use. They are paid to use those shafts, in...

Looks a lot like my "kwikfire" cue from Carolina customs in style. Specifically the joint pin and brown phenolic with ringwork. Is your joint pin also a weird "oversize" pin that doesn't fit standard 3/8x10? I unfortunately do not have the cue here at the moment. Here is a picture from ebay and...

I used to have a Meucci power piston cue with a black dot shaft...It vibrated like crazy, even the butt was flexible! I was never able to play well with it, it felt weird and didn't live up to Meuccis promises of low deflection. Later put a Z shaft on that butt and played with that for some...

I will repeat what I said on a much earlier thread on Olhausen tables that I believe their existence is due to conspiracy of psychiatrists and pool instructors, for the purpose of drumming up more business. That unfair and stupid pocket rattle is the stuff of nightmares.

I will always prefer Brunswick tables to any other. But.... 1. I don't like the ball collecting solution on this table. It looks cheap and tacked on 2. Where's the marketing? I'm pretty sure the military has documents marked "top secret" that is know by more people than the launch of this table...

Snooker uses nap cloth. It's like a dogs fur, basically. The fur will point towards the black spot, so playing from baulk to the black is with the nap. Playing against the nap makes the cueball swerve in the opposite direction of the sidespin. With the nap, it will swerve in the same direction...

I've always wondered why Cyclops balls in particular play "heavy". They roll long and they hold spin for longer. For some reason, though, they feel a bit "deader" than Aramith brand balls. When I play snooker I always prefer the balls that play this way, they jump less and you get more...

An alternativ way to go would be to go from the 10 and into the 8 and only the 8. A bit more risky I admit. The big advantage with the way you went about it was moving the 6, which could have been a huge problem later. You also had the chance, from where you landed off the 10, to play the 13 off...

After the opening shot (which I'm not going to comment on, other than it being a good shot), you had a pretty good chance of playing an easy pattern. If I'm seeing the angle correctly, you could have played the 9 with a very slight draw. Then stun/draw the 10 out to middle table between the 1...

Once on vacation in Spain, I made a wrong turn and wound up in a Romani camp, or maybe a rubbish tip of sorts, it was honestly almost impossible to tell if it was a camp for humans or just a random collection of garbage piled up. Anyway, some human beings had made this place their chosen...

The dart stroke is not good for jumping, unless you're talking about a one handed dart stroke. That is sometimes the only option if you're left funny. In most other cases, a normal stroke is at least twice as good as a dart stroke, unless you are short or disabled. If you're short it may be the...

It's very tough to run many balls in 14.1 if you play slowly. You just run out of steam eventually. I'm sure there are some exceptions, but that's what they are, exceptions. 9 ball and one pocket are different. You just naturally get more pauses and usually a lot less thinking is involved in 9...

Holy ancient thread, Batman! I still havent tried any of these cues, but it appears those who have, say they are bad. My experience is that knockoffs are generally worse than a local brand. For all the attempts, by even competent factories, to copy and improve Predators performance throughout...
