    OB break cues.

    I have had a go with the OB Break Cue and think it is the BEST production Break Cue on the market, closely followed by the Predator BK2. I had recently played in a local 8 Ball competition, and once I was out, I wanted to hit balls; I asked a friend what the OB Break cue was like as I was using...

    Joint protectors - are they essential?

    HAHA, sorry. Faffing on in english terms means wasting time. e.g. - Playing a pro pool player day in day out is a faff on (waste of time) as I wont get to see the table as much to improve. or Taking the wheel off a car to check for faults is a faff on for me, where as a trained mechanic will...

    Joint protectors - are they essential?

    For me, If I owned a production cue, I wouldnt be faffing on with Joint Protectors. But because I own a Custom Cue, and the cues mean more to me than a production cue ever could, I will be investing in some JP's very soon - It will complete my set :)

    Applying sidespin with low-deflection shafts

    I have been using an OB1 Shaft now for a good 5 weeks solid, played 2 tournaments with it, as well as 80+ hours in practice, and as much as its a good product, the whole LD shaft malarky just isnt for me. Sure, the shots you can do with the shaft are pretty good to see, but for me, simple pool...

    Break Tips? Which one?

    I would highly doubt a faulty installation. The guy who done it for me is a Custom Cue maker (Wayne Holmes) and his work is always very high quality. I wouldnt have a reason to suspect this. It could well be the glue used though??

    Break Tips? Which one?

    Thanks all. Its not like it popped off after a week or so...it had been on a fair while now, Im talking 8-12 months of 15 hours+ per week of play/practice. Always thought it was good. I think I will stick with it :)

    Break Tips? Which one?

    Hey all, Ive been using a Samsara Break Tip on my break cue for a while now, and think its the best break tip I have tried (Ive had Phenolic and Samsara). Whilst practicing my 10 Ball Break last night, the tip just popped off. I very rarely have a miscue or hit the CB off center. Now that the...

    Anyone got reviews on the OB Break Shaft/Break Cue?

    When you say looses 'some' power Mr Chen, how much are we talking here? Maybe describe in MPH (breaking at 30mph, with the OB Break shaft you break at 27mph...as an example) Thanks :thumbup:

    Do professional players...

    If that is the case, why do Pro players get sponsored by the products? Does the same apply to those who use LD shafts as well?

    Do professional players...

    ...use cue company products (Predator, Mezz, Cuetec and so on) because they genuinely do enhance the players game with practice they put in? or do they use them so they can show/say they are sponsored by such 'n' such? Im just curious to know why a lot of top top players dont use custom cues...

    Review of the OB-1 and OB-2 shafts

    I can comfortably say that after 2 weeks of playing 10-15 hours per week (work commitments forced the lack of hours), I am now 95% comfortable with all shots with the OB1 shaft. The only shots I am still getting used to is the stop with english shot to come off the rail (I hope you understand...

    Break Speed

    Hey, What are the pro's getting on average when they break the balls? Pro's like SVB, Archer, Earl, Bustamante, Reyes, Mika, Hohmann, Souquet and so on? In 8, 9 & 10 ball. Also, what is your top speed that you know of (either by a proper speed gun or iPhone app). Mine was 24mph hardest...

    Personal opinion on switching from low deflection shaft to a conventional one??

    I have recently gone from a Maple shaft to an OB1 shaft. At first, I could adjust to top with Left or Right English...after having a bad night, I put the OB1 away, put my Maple shaft on and was able to hit them with it. Very next night, I was playing a friend at 10Ball, I decided to put the OB1...

    Shaft Upgrade would like some opinions.

    I personally use the OB1. I loved my old maple shaft that I have on my Wayne Holmes, but after going to OB1, I know for certain shots, that I can rely on myself having an 'off' day but still managing to get postion on the next ball etc. At first, you will really dislike any LD shaft...

    I say well done SVB for being able to come back after the loss to Mika for the Hot Seat to then gather himself ready for Putnam...I didnt watch the Final, but I hope Mika wasnt as un-sporting as he was in their first encounter. Great stream though :)
