Does the weight of the jump cue make it easier to execute different jump shot techniques or does it generally not matter as long as you have good technique?

Oh hey Tom! This is Nate, I used to bartend there. I’ll come by one of these days. Has there been any action?

They both cost about the same. I can’t afford the Predator BK Rush so I’m going to choose between these two cues. Has anyone tried the Impakt?

I dunno if it’s open, but I like going to Plush Pocket Billiards in North Hills/Northridge.

I don’t see it listed there.

I can only buy from Seyberts because I have some credit there. I could also use a better jump cue, so I’m looking at jump break cues as well. Or maybe I get a break cue and jump cue separately. My budget is around $600, I could maybe stretch it to $700. The cues I’m looking at: Predator BK...

If you have good technique and break with a jump-break cue is there anything that will make your break worse off vs breaking with a cue made for just breaking? Like does the extra weight of an extra pin have any negative effect or anything like that? I’m looking to buy a break cue but I could...

I’m looking for a break tip that isn’t phenolic, but if it feels and hits like a phenolic that’s fine. This is what I have to choose from: Samsara White Diamond Bulletproof Taom White/Yellow/Green Tiger Dynamite Tiger Break Cyber Break White Pechaur Gold Break Kamui Black Hard Kamui Clear...

I met Tony at a tournament in either 2003 or 2004 at House of Billiards in Sherman Oaks. Nice guy who was very willing to share his knowledge of the game. He offered to sign my copy of his book but I didn’t have it with me. I remember being very impressed with his cueing and fundamentals, it...

This is excellent, thanks.

Is your back foot placed somewhere on the line of the shot? If so isn’t the back hand supposed to be on that same line as well? To clarify I mean where should your back hand be in relation to your back foot when you address the ball and are about to get into your stance. After you get down I...

If you are right handed should your right hand be directly over your right foot, or should it be on the outside of where your foot is? I’ve seen good players that have their back arm and thus their back hand tucked in really close to their body inside of the line where their back foot is, I’ve...

It’s supposed to stay down.

I’m talking about this video: Vilmos had to foul twice in a row to put Dong that situation. So if Dong had managed to get it safe and then Vilmos fouled, would the 3 foul rule count against Vilmos? In other words do the fouls of Vilmos in between getting Dong on 2 fouls count or does Dong’s...

Thanks Bob. I was also thinking of attaching a weight to my cue to see which muscles get fatigued.

Thanks, I do have several doctors I see about my condition. I already do curls but this method you mentioned seems interesting.

Isn’t that in your calf? I’m also not really concerned with hitting the ball hard, that’s not an issue. Just overall steadiness I guess.

By knowing the names then I can look up effective exercises that target the specific muscle.

I want to strengthen every muscle that’s involved because sometimes I have days where everything just feels kinda weak and shaky. I have a neurological/neuromuscular issue that causes it but I’m wondering if I can help lessen how bad it is by strengthening certain muscles. I’ve been lifting...

For me it was watching pool in my spare time. I’d see how easy the top players make the game appear to be and how perfect their cue delivery is and I’d start to obsess over it again. I wouldn’t recommend trying to improve your game if you’re not really into playing at the time because you won’t...
