I've used a wrist brace to help my fundamentals. It worked for me because I was doing just about everything wrong (and with 25 years of ingrained experience!) and so I didn't even know what a pure stroke felt like. I wasn't able to become very good with it on because I found the brace itself...

I've tried the side-arm method (after years of somewhat competent at best jacked up underhand) and I could never deliver a straight cue that way. I could get air without much problem, but I was always unintentionally masse-ing the cueball so it would spin off line by the time it got to the...

I'll only play if the prize is a $500 cue tip

Having accomplished everything else one can do on a pool table, SVB stuns the crown with his ability to levitate the game ball into the pocket.

Why does it seem whenever a pro/big name switches back to wood from CF it's getting away from a Revo? Has any pro rejected a Cynergy? I like CF shafts for maintenance reasons. No glove, no grime, no dings, no warping, no smoothing/cleaning/constantly wiping it down. I can move balls around on...

Do you guys who always play with an extension play with a lighter normal cue so that with the extension it's a more traditional weight, or are you really just playing with 22oz+ cues?

I'll take the over on that six months estimate. :)

73 it is! Who had "no one gets it right?"

I've had conversations with a top player that revealed he knew nothing about the actual physics underlying the game. He just played so much he knew what would happen if he did things a certain way, even if he had no clue why it happened that way. In pool, just like other sports, if you want...

As mentioned by others, the Revo is generally considered the lowest-deflection CF shaft, and Cynergy, while still LD, has more. That has been my experience, as well. I used to play with a 12.5 Cynergy but switched to an 11.8 and could notice a reduction in deflection. So I agree with your...

Did you try the Cynergy 11.8 or 12.5 previously? What about this most recent time? Did you do a thorough testing or was it just your gut feeling about how much deflection was involved? I don't doubt there are variations in manufacturing, but I'm guessing both Predator and Cuetec have some...

Agreed. I think the bigger problem is not having a standard set of rules. I've been teaching a lot of beginners the game recently (doing my small part to grow the sport) and I get asked questions like "if you scratch on the 8, is that a loss?" "if I make a solid on the break, aren't I solids?"...

Baseball. Every stadium has unique dimensions. A home run in one venue can be an easy out in another. It's one of the charms of the sport. (I readily admit that it's harder to find "charm" in varying pocket sizes.)

I find his videos entertaining. I usually watch the whole thing, which I can't say for most people who post content, even if it's about a topic I generally like. His sincere enthusiasm just shines through. He was at DCC. I wanted to say hi to him and that I enjoyed his videos but the...

I just called JOBs and the reason they are going nonsmoking is there's a new smoking ban in Nashville which goes into effect March 1. So only three weeks to go!

On a 9' table 5 full lengths would be 500" = 41.67 ft. 41.67 x 2^5 = 1333.33 ft, so, yes, the drastic reduction in distance travelled from a real pool table to a theoretical infinite pool table does seem to check out. Thanks.

Taom >>> Kamui. I played with Kamui 0.98 for years. I loved Kamui. But Taom is much cleaner and lasts just as long. (And I'm talking about Pyro; I've not yet tried the V10).

Can any V10 fans give an explanation of how, if at all, V10 is better than Pyro? I understand V10 is their most marketed product, but I've not yet heard anything said of V10 that isn't also true of my Pyro (and my Pyro is blue, for those very occasional flakes I find on my cloth).

I just went to some online calculators and 30mph is 44ft/s and dropping something from 30 ft is 43.94ft/s so you are essentially correct. I am quite shocked the answer is that large. 3000ft? I feel like if I hit a shot at break speed it will go back and forth maybe 4 (?) times the length of the...

When JOBs goes nonsmoking can people give an update? I'd love to play there on occasion if I no longer shorten my life by three months for each visit.
