    Upgrading a toy

    Just curious to know how good a toy table could play. I'm talking about the tables that use slatron with terrible felt and rails. (Mizerak, cooper etc. I just want to know if putting actual rails and actual cloth would do anything to make it somewhat playable? Is the lack of slate a deal...

    Tip shaping frequency

    After having a tip installed, I'll play with it for about a week or two. Then I take it back to the cuesmith to have it reshaped and de-mushroomed. Couple weeks later, I'll re-shape it one more time, and then I leave it alone. I'll scuff it up every once in a blue moon. Maybe once or twice a...

    Tip shaping frequency

    How is the techno dud? I favour a medium soft tip (kamui black, zan medium, slightly pressed triangle). The pooldawg milkduds were way way too hard for me.

    Deciding between a couple of break tips

    What game do you play on what kind of table? Is the cloth fast or slow?, What speed do you normally break at?, What break cue are you using?

    8 ball pattern play problems

    I think you should start thinking about the table in sections. So it's not 7 balls and the 8. Maybe it's a 3 ball pattern here...and a 2 ball pattern over there...and theres a ball that connects you from one pattern to the next. Then you need a ball that connects you reliably to the 8. But if...

    What Youngsters Want Old Masters Cues?

    I think the answer is pretty much no.

    Revo Stock

    I was put on the dealer's list in august. I was told it would be 4-8 weeks. It's been 9 weeks, and I was told that it will probably be a few more months. At this point I'm thinking I can get the cuetec one sooner.

    What Youngsters Want Old Masters Cues?

    30 and I would not be interested in owning an expensive custom cue. I don't care what the cue actually looks like. I don't need it to be a work of art, I'd be too afraid to use it. I think the biggest difference for me is that the older generation grew up with things that were built to last. So...

    314-3 upgrade for Poison with Venom

    I like poison a lot. I think their butts hit better than other low end production butts. What I don't like is that predator only offers the Z3 and the 314-3 in bullet joints. You won't have access to predator's other shafts (vantage, revo) for a cue that they make, which I think is a little...

    314-3 upgrade for Poison with Venom

    I think they use a lighter ferrule, and they core it in the front similar to the predator shaft, BUT they fill that space with like a balsa wood. Up until recently, I used a venom shaft for a long time. I'd say it's closer to a maple shaft than it is to a 314-3 in terms of deflection. I think...

    conceding the last ball.

    I don't know, personally for me, conceding balls feels slimey. Especially if they've made a good run of it, I don't want to take away their satisfaction of making the money ball. Conceding a ball almost feels like pretending you're doing them a favour and should get some sort of credit or at...

    Is it bad etiquette when ......

    I agree. Especially since the original post isn't even that big of a deal as far as things go. Having stuff that bothers you and effects you over multiple games is much worse. Same reason I don't get into arguments during a set. I'd rather not fight you on this ball in hand, then have this...

    I'm not convinced. You must be making adjustment, subconsciously.

    DigiCue Blue Question

    Sometimes I find the signal is too weak (maybe it's my phone case or signal strength) So I have to take the digicue off the cue, and rest it with the opening on top of the phone. I do not remove it from the rubber housing. I press it twice when it asks me to sync. First I do it slow 1...2, then...

    Slump

    Could it be that your new found confidence is making you try to run out more aggressively? Between 8-ball and rotation, each shot you make without getting out, makes your opponents job much easier. But yeah I totally get the frustration. I'm having the same problems myself. If you practice a...
