    Does the hardness/softness of the tip effect the amount of english applied?

    My G10 break tip with dime radius will not allow as much spin as the Mauri soft on my player but it is surprisingly close about a quarter tip difference which is seldom needed but nice to have when you do.

    Pool dvds?

    Accu-stats is better than being there because of the camera angles and expert comentary. If you are an action player they will pay for themselves many times over. You WILL get better and be intertained at the same time. IMHO the best value to be had in the pocket billiard world.

    Predator 1080 Chalk Reviews...

    Played two six hour session and a four hour without one single miscue. Table in both cases had not one speck of pred chalk. Lite chalk every other shot.

    When did everyone get penis chalk?

    Why walk to the other end of the table for chalk. Before the pocket chalker I kept a cube in my bridge hand. Just lazy I suppose but all those extra steps do add up in 6-8 hour sessions.

    Is a Break Cue Necessary?

    16.5 oz G-10 tip ferrule nickel radius does it for me with action nineball the game. At one time I thought heavy = more power. Now with less effort and better CB controle the lighter has me sold.

    They say this game is 90%.half mental?

    Enough sleep "some need more than others" is the number one predictor of how I will play. Tired foggy headed from lack of sleep equals fundamentals going to hell, frustration going up, confidence going down, momentum all with the opponent and wallet emptying.

    Taking time and getting it right is one thing: need a smoke , need a beer, need to pee, need to make a call, need to bull...t with rail birds and on and on taking five hours for three sets race to seven nine ball. That is not only slow but extremly rude. Like my time means nothing. Good guy...
