Get a Cuetec Avi cued, not a CF shaft but it's coated, has good hit feel and is pretty cheap. In 30+ years of playing I have never had to stop using a maple shaft due to dings/dents on it and some of the shafts I have used for a decade or more. I have a set of shafts from a friend that is 20...

Depends on the wood they start with, but the procedure does dry them out. If a maker uses some pretty curly wood, the grain is weaker than the normal straight grain maple, so has a higher chance to crack along the stress lines since there are more of them and they can run across the shaft not...

To a bar player "smart" play is shooting the cueball into a pocket when you are on the 8 ball in the kitchen and making you kick at it due to "behind the line" rule they don't understand and saying you lost if you miss the kick.

I have seen girls play in miniskirts and thongs, and bend over without much thought. Also low cut or loose shirts so when they bend over, if you are looking in that direction, things are dangling in plain view. Just need to pick appropriate outfits.

I have both a Z3 and a 12.4 Revo, the Revo has lower deflection.

Those are very fair races. My son uses the Fargo setup for his in-house leagues, and this is exactly what we end up with. for matches. No one complains about the games they need. Even when I play a 5-2 or 6-2 match there are very few times I feel it is not fair to me or to the other player...

The surprise what that he is listed under the American players now.

Nice looking wood, I'd pay that much for it, but the wrap is not right for that design, need a black or something more one color.

I'm a fan of this, the kid has loyalty to where he chooses to live, hope he represents the USA well far into the future. Top 100 USA Fedor Gorst USA844 Shane Van Boening USA836 Skyler Woodward USA811 Mike Dechaine USA803 Justin Bergman USA798 Josh Roberts USA781 Jonathan Pinegar USA780 Oscar...

If I ever became a trans or a cross-dresser, this would be the cue I use. Honestly I don't even see a real female using this past the age of 12.

Got a pool hall near you? Go there and make some friends, there are sure to be a few people there with a shaft that will fit yours you can try some. Aside from just the shooters, there are usually a few people that deal in cues/trades. There are a few guys in my area (new england) that have a...

Yep they are junk. But they do work in some cases oddly enough not too badly. I think if you have a good table and good balls, they work badly. If the table racking area has divots and rolls off, they work better LOL If anyone wants to cheap out, don't. Those racks are cheaper than many...

That's why we both shot the same shot 5 times with each shaft to get rid of those variables and get an average of the results (so 10 shots each). He was a bit better player than me, and was getting the same results from the shafts, his spin was just going down the table a bit more than mine...

A while ago it was estimated to keep your skill level, you need about 10 hours a week of play.

This is the test me and my friend did, hit with low right and spin down the table to see how close to the corner pocket we got. For both of us, we got the cueball further down table with a LD shaft with a layered tip. This was three different LD shafts, not just one. We had at least two...

Not a myth, I hand the player an LD shaft and they immediately say "wow I spun that without hitting hard at all". I've had at least three newer players that tried my shafts end up buying a Revo shaft because it was so much easier to work with than what they were using. I also did tests for...

This idea is correct, and it happens with practice and experience. At first anyone that studies and learns does it by rote memorization and copying things exactly as instructed. That gets them to learn the core of the subject. Once they are better at it, it becomes more and more automatic and...

Lower deflection cues put more spin on the ball with the same speed hit (in all my testing and what others have told me soon as they try one), as well as put the cueball on a straighter path then hit with spin (less deflection), so if you are used to making a ball by "feel" with a normal shaft...

If you read that right, cheating is the norm so if you don't, you are behind the curve.

I think if the APA started entering their data into Fargo it would be worse, since that is where the players are most likely to sandbag and keep the scores close even "trying" to win. Going by points vs racks is also an issue since you can "win" a rack without sinking the 9 ball, so it's a bit...
