    Master Rack and Chameleon Rack

    I play UK 8ball so have no experience with the Sardo or Chameleon racks (ball size is different) but I own a Master Rack (Uk 8ball version). I think the Master Rack is well constructed and it is also preferable that the table does not need "training" before use, the rack itself is simple to use...

    The jazz of purchasing over the net...

    Hmmm.... this seems fishy, could Peer really be working for Cuesight because if he isn't he has certainly done more to highlight Cuesight's dedication to customer service even when the customer is clearly someone with a chip on their shoulder. I live in Europe and I order from the net all the...

    johnny archer

    It does not surprise me that any 2 idiots can ruin a person's reputation, 3 years ago I started playing UK 8ball and joined a league team, I was playing doubles and was partnered up with a more experieced player (so that I could learn from him), the rules state that we are not allowed to discuss...

    Beta Blockers and Pool

    I was taking Indaril just over a year ago and I found that it helped my actual pool play but diminished a lot of the fun I got from the game, I play pool for the adrenaline high, normally when I go into a match hands shake with it. When I was taking Indaril I felt no pressure but I experienced...

    8 BALL - A true test for world class players?

    It depends on the rules, the ruleset I play does give 2 visits for a foul although this does not carry, combination shots are allowed (hitting your own ball first and potting both your own ball and opponents), I am curious as to how easy you found the game as I have watched the top players at...

    8 BALL - A true test for world class players?

    I live in the UK and I primarily play UK version 8ball and I have to say that I think the American version of 8ball is pretty embarassing, the 9ft tables are just far too easy to play on for 8ball and the pocket size is huge, this makes the game too easy. In the UK there is a lot more emphasis...

    Slow Players

    There is a player in our 8ball pool league (UK so 6 and 7ft tables) who routinely participates in frames lasting over an hour, I remember watchinghim play a doubles game in which he and his partner kept repeating the same shot, after they had played this shot 3 times they then stopped to discuss...

    Snooker Cues

    Tickets that cue looks quite smart, who is the maker? I am not familiar with that particular badge and th only Australian cue maker I have heard much about is Andy Breem.

    Snooker Cues

    I noticed a few snooker master cues coming up on the UK Ebay a while back and they were going for next to nothing (now it seems to be Shender cues that are flooding the site), the cue Arthur plays with is a nice enough cue and has a built in extension feature but I just feel he could have got...

    Snooker Cues

    That may well be true although I am sure Wooldrige, Glover, Coutts etc would have something to say about that, the reason why I did not mention Parris is because John Parris allows other people to make his cues (also buy pre-made shafts from other companies) and then charges a premium price for...

    Snooker Cues

    No offence intended but if your friend paid 400 euros for a snooker master cue he got well and truly ripped off, A friend of mine paid £70 for one and I felt he got gipped. I do not disagree with the posters statement about a second hand cue being a good purchase although you can purchase...

    Is this Helmstetter cue a fake?

    I just got the confirmation that is an Helmstetter 86-12, really surprised that it is that old and still in such good condition, the previous owner must have taken great care of it (the other cue was quite beat up) and I intend to do the same, I am beginning to feel that I should have worn a...

    Is this Helmstetter cue a fake?

    Thanks for the PM, I actually emailed the Adam Cue Company and received a reply saying it is from the Helmstetter 86 series, they said they would get back to me with the specific model number. I am kind of interested in finding out more and so I am glad they are going to send me the model...

    Is this Helmstetter cue a fake?

    Thank you for the information, that applies to everyone who replied. It was really a win-win situation for me anyway, I quite like the cue. I purchased it on ebay along with another cue and case and because I am in the UK and 9ball cues are not overly popular I got the 2 cues and a case and...

    Is this Helmstetter cue a fake?

    I purchased this cue a while back with another cue and I was just wondering whether or not it was a fake (I personally have been unable to find another like it but have seen similar models), I got a good deal on the cues so I am not unhappy either way it was just more of a curiousity. Apologies...
