also I will add its just a way for apa to make money if they require you to have x amount of games and be on an active roster it means more teams and more money in there pocket the payouts are less every year. its a joke. dues should cover flight hotel and a little spending money. and all states...

sounds like everyone labels the problem the same If I wanted to pay 25 bucks for the apa membership for the year. I should be abel to play in any singles qualifiers. I do not like the team thing hate sandbagging. you win a chance to go to vegas that's were you win money if you do well plus they...

IMO leagues are good and bad in all aspects good for the establishment good for beginner players Good place to find competition of different handicaps cheap money for a night of pool. Bad establishments sometimes forget about the die hard pool players who want to shoot all night not play one...

physics will never make you a strong shooter. It might make you understand a lot of thing about a pool cue and the effects of English but at the end of the day there is millions of combinations of englishes and shot speeds you can use to get from point A to B witch will require time and feel. a...

It seems to me that everyone almost agrees and disagrees with 2 things. there is high end for playing and high end for collecting they are 2 different categories. I am a player not a collector or dealer. I like to try new cues to feel the difference. I have owned both production and custom...

I shot pool with parallel English for a long time with a predator Z2 one of the lowest LD shafts on the market and could break and run a rack that way. I now shoot with back hand and front hand same shaft. I am learning now that on very soft touch shots with a shorter bridge length with a lot of...

I ordered the assortment pack from ebay. Right now im playing with the pro hardness. I have one installed on 3 of my shafts play and feel awesome IMO good hit and tons of movement very easily. The pro mushrooms a little but nothing crazy. I have the soft on 1 shaft not much difference but not...

I appreciate the info. it is a flexibility problem for me my palm doesn't want to stay down as a spread my fingers as my middle finger moves out my inside palm goes up so I end up with an angled cue not level for a power draw shot.

a closed bridge is very uncomfortable for me my fingers don't easily go into that position. are there exercises to gain the flexibility needed. I shoot primarily with an open bridge and do pretty good except with the longer draw and follow shots. Is there any videos or training advice. my buddy...

a longer pivot point is better for back hand English. The back hand has to move less distance side to side to move the tip. There are videos on youtube that explain how to find the proper pivot point. I believe this is why everyone says to stay with one shaft get used to it and don't change. if...

I have had all of the above if you like the HXT shaft and are a fan of LD shafts than OB or predator would be a better option IMO. Also if you going to change go with a new or used cue a players with ob or predator shaft will hold no value if you ever want to sell or trade. you can find a used...

I only have cues with leather wraps at the moment. I have a blank that will be worked on soon and was thinking about having a Linen wrap put on cause I want a longer wrap. I've liked some old cues but not to many new ones. I don't like course and cant shoot with one that's to slippery almost...

Is there a linen wrap that feels soft and grips like leather or is the only way to get that is by pressing the linen. is there another material

am I the only one that saw earl call the 10 ball by pointing his cue at the ball and the pocket He might have said 2 ball but pointed at 10 ball. If im not wrong then jayson just sat there planning on calling foul which is por sportsmanship. why didn't he say Earl you mean 10 ball it was clear...

I ordered a lot of 10 from ebay. Tom Hayes himself is selling them I got an email same day asking how I wanted the hardness broke down I got 3 pro 3 soft and 4 medium. I received them in the mail a few days later very prompt. So far I had a pro and soft installed. Im playing with the pro right...

I am also mostly a spin player but have been breaking free and going to more center ball with just top and bottom

im shooting with a predator right now and it feels to hard I wouldn't say to stiff but maybe that's what it is. its a samsara uniloc butt with a Z2 and a Moori Jewel tip which I feel is not for me to hard and I am micueing a lot. I always shot with a Kamui soft black and liked the spin but felt...

I agree with you. Its hard to say that any 2 people have the same stroke and feel is subjective just like vision. what I think hits stiff might be soft to someone who shoots with something that's a tank.

I also agree with what Gorramjayne is saying about weight and shaft size

I already have the new SIB Tom Hayes tips on order. I've tried a lot of tips and cues LD and none 11.5 to 13mm I have been leaning towards stiff hit medium to hard tips but for some reason primarily my ability to draw the cue ball has gone down a lot. been thinking about going back to a soft tip...
