    Kamui athlete M

    Since I do a lot of cue repair in my area and people ask me about tips all the time I decided to buy one of these tips and try it out just so I can say I tried it and can give first hand experience. I put one on my 12.4 revo today and played with it for about an hour, I shouldn't be surprised...

    New Predator chalk

    looks like the released it to the public recently. I saw it on their website and its $40 for 144 pieces. So about 30 cents per cube. not bad considering prices on some other chalk out there. I am wondering how it performs compared to the higher dollar chalks, specifically in cleanliness (dust)...

    Konllen and JFlowers....

    A couple of my teammates have the konallen playing cues and one even has the break cue. I play with them occasionally and i can say they are good. The tips that come on them are junk (hard, dry and don't hold chalk). I play with a revo 12.4 with an ultraskin med tip 95% of the time, I also...

    Boring bar for Mid Size Cuesmith

    That is one of the main reasons I got a quick change post. Makes adjusting the boring bars pretty easy and stress free of trial and error of finding the perfect shim combinations. I bought some really nice mini/micro boring bars off ebay, its a micro 100 super carbide. For all my other boring...

    Gloves

    i like the predator second skin gloves myself. I get about 2 -3 months of playing with them before they split apart and fray at the ends. For me they are light enough that I don't notice it much and the grip pad on the palm is just grippy enough to hold on the cloth, but not too grippy that I...

    Anyone else prefer very hard tips??

    I can most certainly get more draw when using my CF shaft than any of my wooden ones. That isn't really important to me, however what is important to me is being able to get the draw (or any action really) I need without having to stroke it so hard (compared to my wood shafts).

    DAZN petty charge

    I posted in the other thread, but they will never see another dime from me. I don't deal with shady company's who hide behind fine print in the terms of service to get more money out of me. I paid for 30 days, if I cancel before those 30 days I shouldn't owe anything else. I would understand a...

    Anyone else prefer very hard tips??

    I started playing with a super soft tip and have slowly migrated more and more towards a hard tip. I still like the multi layer tips over the single layer ones though. When I put a new tip on my cue I start with an ultraskin medium and press it in a vice so it plays a bit harder than a...

    DAZN shady subscription practices

    Noticed this today when I went to cancel from watching mosconi cup. Very Very shady in my opinion and definitely not normal for any of the other streaming services I subscribe to. I signed up for 30 days, they took my money for 30 days. If I cancel within those 30 days I shouldn't owe any other...

    Best OTC Cement for Cue Tips?

    I been using gorilla glue gel as well for a awhile now. I have had a few (like 3) tips come back to me because they came off. The common factor in all of them is that they were dropped/knocked over and fell hitting the sides of the tip. I think i am going to switch to locktite and see if it has...

    I've spent way too much time perfecting my fundamentals...Don't be like me.

    The best way to combat this is to make the shot a little easier every time you miss and make it a little harder every time you make it.

    willard tool and kamui clear tips.

    I have not had good luck with those and have seen many people nick their ferrule, even with the screw set correctly. Any slight tilt of the tool changes the blade depth and if you don't have the screw set all the way down to the edge of the ferrule, it won't cut the bottom of the tip. Not to...

    The Biggest Flaw of APA's Handicapping

    The point is the 6 usually finishes out a rack is 3 - 4 innings and the 4 usually takes 6 or 7, so in a typical rack with a well spread out break, the SL6 is usually through the rack before the SL4 gets enough chances at the table to finish their rack, extending the game give the lower level...

    The Biggest Flaw of APA's Handicapping

    I think the problem here isn't two people of the same skill level, its a 6 playing a decent 4 who can't break the rack for anything and you end up fighting a big cluster the whole rack, giving the lower level player more chances at the table because the higher level player can't run balls.

    Pool Cue Weight

    I have one of those cues and honestly they do play really well, you would never be able to tell how much open space is in that cue just by playing with it. I got it for a very specific purpose though, I was trying to play with a bunch of different shafts until I found one I really liked. I...

    The Biggest Flaw of APA's Handicapping

    I agree with this, I don't think I played one full match in Tri cups or Cities that didn't end in sudden death. It's kind of lame to have those important tournaments end in a single sudden death match. All session long teams play on at least two table every week, but come tournaments we can only...

    Pool Cue Weight

    I find the balance point of the cue matters a LOT more than the actual weight. most players won't be able to tell a difference of an ounce when they are stroking the cue. I had a fairly light weight cue (17oz) that was back weighted and most people who picked it up asked why this cue was so...

    The Biggest Flaw of APA's Handicapping

    Sounds a lot like my own journey, almost to perfection. My Double Jeopardy team quit after last session solely due to the late nights, it was after midnight almost every week, we were there until 1:30am one week. Most of us formed a 9ball only team on another night. Last night was the first...
