I have a 30 or so year old schmelke that is dead straight and plays very well. That is why i recommended them. :)

And if he has no billiard store around him? i have 1 where i am at and they dont even carry rhe brand that i own. I hope you dont shop at walmart,kmart,meijer, as there are plenty of stores with the same peoduct. The op is on an extremely tight budget and can get the same cue for a lower price...

Videos are nice as they visually show you what they are talking about. If you are a beginner and still learning what draw,follow, and side spin will do i would pass on the play your best 8ball as i have it and feel it is more strategy and not a how this happens book. Play your beat pool would be...

The way i read it is in part A it says "pocketing" and all the others it is "pocketed". For me it is interpretation to not even having to make the 8.

Of those i wod get he hxt30. I like the softer hit compared ro the steel joint. I forgot about Schmelke cues. Go to billiard warehouse.com made in wisconsin and they are great quality cues

seyberts billiardwarehouse ozonebilliards are all great reputable places to buy cues. :smile:

Dennis-what did you think of the ESPN article about him and pool?

gotta love wins like that. why did he break his cue down?

obviously the wrong call was made in your previous matches. the rule is stated in the book and therefore not a gray area. :wink: attempting to pocket the ball or not a scratch on the 8 ball is different than the other 7 balls. bolded areas. you didnt contact the ball and scratched...so you...

you are wrong. scratch on the 8 is a foul/loss of game btw...the way the rule reads how on earth do you think it is a gray area? it is straight forward in what it says.

best bet would be players cues in the 50.-100. range. valhalla is made "by" viking cues star and lucky by mcdermott cues are a good choice in the sub 50. range. I have two of their cues for people at my house and the quality is better than any walmart or store bought cue. :smile: edit...

5 balls on a 9 ball break on a 8ft diamond weirdest is I was playing 8 ball with a friend on an 8ft diamond. I broke and placed all solids on one end with the all of the stripes on the other end with the eight and cue ball in the center. :grin:

Everything ive seen people are normally higher in 8

apa 9 ball has a different strategy. need to look at the over all point tally instead of individual games. say you need 12 points with a decent layout and an opportunity to combo the 9 early. no point in comboing the 9 when you need points to win. leave it and run out.

then dont play 9 ball.

periods and paragraphs are your friend.

a good mechanic can have any table play fantastic. depending on where you are located is who you will get recommended.

gold crown. where are you located? have a good mechanic set it up for you. check the boards here for people close to you.

Not to light at all. I got a used ob break the other day and it was 17oz. Felt nice but bought a weight bokt kit from ozonebilliards for 10.00 to match the weight of my player. Order whatver weight u want and get the kit and experament.

unless its a break cue :wink:
