    can someone explain why you would get more spin with a low deflection shaft??

    I am not sure why but there is a difference I went from a Z2 to a OB 11.75 and when I tried to draw I got less with the OB but after a week or so I was getting more than with the Z2 I think its feel weight whatever there is an adjustment needed both had the same tip also. that was a while ago...

    longer cue questions

    yes hand all the way back and maybe 4 to 6 inch bridge length. I like to shoot with a pendulum stroke but it seems for me to advance to next level with a standard cue is to develop a cylinder stroke and get my elbow moving as part of the stroke. When I do it right I get great spin and make the...

    longer cue questions

    I also notice at almost 64 inches I can shot a lot more shots with a level cue. I believe it puts my body in a better position. on the other hand all my regular every day shots feel very uncomfortable. this is with a bid extension ive been practicing with a 30 inch butt and 31 inch shaft feels...

    longer cue questions

    the biggest shot I would say I see a problem is when the cue ball close enough to the rail that you battle weather or not to bridge on the rail or table. if I need some English particularly draw I cannot get it and my hand at contact is a couple inches in front of my elbow and I fight the arc...

I am currently using a 60 inch cue with a 3.5 inch mid extension and its a 50/50 some shots feel so much easier and others feel completely off to were I...

    are many of the best players using long

    I agree I am also 6'5 and have tried cues with mid and back extensions. in the process of have a butt made 32 inches long. I think it gives the ability to reach more shots and I believe for the Pros IMO it allows a more consistent stroke as a tall player a lot of shots my hand is past my elbow...

    longer cue

    jacoby offers 31 inch shafts I contacted a couple venders the other day and it does seem that the longer blanks are a little harder to come by. I personally like the extra length in the back of the cue. but its all based on personal preference.

    Wood-Wood Joint or Metal Joint? For Custom butt- 314 Shaft

    I think you answered your own question you are going to play better with what you like. I had a Pechauer and Schon cue steel jointed cue 5/16-14 with a 314-3 and also had a radial Webb cue with a predator shaft. both hit great I can spin and make balls with either. But at the end I play better...

    MC table..................

    I wonder if all players on both sides no what kind of table is being used. I would agree with most at this level and short races should be on the toughest equipment. I saw a lot of shots that went in that usually don't on any table. Appleton spun a 5 ball it hit nipple rattled 5 or more times...

    Don't hate on the leagues

    you both clearly miss the point. I never said I play pool for only money. I play cause I love the game. I don't care how much money they pay out. I feel that league fees in all areas should cover flight and hotel at the least. areas can adjust cost so at least that is covered I have been to...
