    Predator Shaft players.

    In my opinion it shouldn't be match the shaft to the cue, it should be match the shaft to the player. A joint is a joint and can be made for your cue just fine. What shaft do like the play of? That is what you should ask yourself. JMHO PS: I play a Z2.

    Gulyassy B/J by Samsara is over

    I currently have one of Mike's J/B's (see my signature) and I love it. I can pound my breaks, jump with a full cue and the craftsmanship is top notch. I really love my Gulyassy and it gets a lot of attention from players. Props to Mike.

    The BREAK

    There are two things you need to get to help you with your break: 1) Joe Tuckers Racking Secrets 2) "The Great Break Shot" by Charlie Bond Between those two things, and perhaps a BreakRak, you will have all the tools you need to have a pro class break. PS...

    Racking Problems

    Check the spot. A lot of timest the actual paper spots get dented (from banging the top ball) and that can cause issues. If that is the case either completely remove or if the room demands just replace with a new flat sticker.

    Reaction to pros in local tournaments?

    I would love to have world beaters compete in our local events. I pay $100 entries to play mostly low level pros and semi's. I would love to pay the same and play off against John Schmitt or Johnny Archer or the likes.

    Custom shafts vs Predator/OB1

    Ok, I have been on AZ for only a little while now but I have been getting more and more interested in acquiring a custom cue in the future. My question is this, if I am currently playing a Predator Z2 shaft and really like what it does for me, is there a cue maker whose shaft (standard) would...

    Maximum draw/follow/side

    How much do you want? LOL I have an 11.2 mm Z2. The CB is my oyster. I find it easier to apply extreme inside rather than outside though.

    Question about stroke

    By accelerate they don't mean fast. They simply mean that the tip is reaching its peak speed at contact. What ever speed that is. It is similar to a golf swing. How hard is up to you, but you accelerate to that speed through the swing. Slowing into impact with cause a poor contact or hit...

    who wins tournys in your town??

    Me. Well truth be told I was getting tired of never being the best so I moved to the sticks where there was no one for miles and put a table in a local shed and put up a sign "Jay's". I can honestly say I am the best player there. No I won't tell you where it is. That would defeat the purpose...

    WTB- J&J jump break

    I was a little shocked myself. Then again, he had the Predator 2 on for a steal at $550 and his own line of jump cues for $145 when they seem to match up to the same quality as perhaps a bottom of the line Bunjee (maybe).

    My fun shot this weekend.

    You HAD to remind me of that one eh Snorks! I lost sleep! I did try it again after and realized that I just needed a bit more bottom and the CB wouldn't have intercepted the 4 ball. Rarr.:mad: http://CueTable.com/P/?@3DUdJ2HaEY2IBQH1JNbt3PSRX3XUdJ2XVEl3XYEf3kSRX3kUMY4kara3kYMw3kalS1uApN@

I hooked my self after making the shot and narrowly missed making the 1 ball three rails in...

    your thoughts on joe tuckers rack secrets.

    Just to add some credit to the DVD, shortly after I learned Joe's secrets I was in out local room and two very strong players were playing barbox 9 ball to get ready for a tournament. I watched them play for about an hour then told them they needed to learn how to rack or they will get killed at...

    Breaking hard vs breaking well

    I would say that players like Archer have simply been doing it for so long that is where they are most comfortable. These players have been doing that well before the Sardo and any other option which creates a rack conducive to a softer break. Plus, when you play the average events on average...
