Table spat a couple balls out i think should have dropped.

Or shoot pool with?

For the tip itself? Yes. But what's going to really change is the diameter of the shaft which will impact the flexibility and deflection of it. Then you have taper profiles, materials, etc, etc.... Lots of variables.

Seeing a storm surge or tsunami from an earthquake is straight terrifying. A 10+ foot wall of water/debris that doesn't slow down... No thanks. I'll stick to the cold and blizzards... Hope everyone out there is OK. It's one thing around the coast where they expect it and know how to deal with...

Most of the major cue maker's cases are fleece/felt/satin lined. Love my Predator Urbain and the CueTec Pro-Lines are nice. I've found it tough to find a hard+padded case for a 1x1, but for anything 2x2 or more there's a ton of selection.

Uncle Phil.

A much cheaper mistake than forgetting to pull other things out....

Playing friendlies i usually just put the jump cue extension on the table within reach. On the rare occasion that i don't know by looking which length i'll need. With my old J/B cues i'd often put the butt in the pocket so it wouldn't roll around. Would never do that in competition, but even in...

I switched back to my 2010 SP with a Z-3 shaft for a few games the other day and it feels so weird now. Not in a good way either. Almost feels...dead? I still use wood on a couple of my cues because it just looks right. Putting the Revo on a 15yo cue that came with a 314-2 just feels wrong. The...

Second on the SAI. I've had terrible luck with break tips delaminating and it's held up really well. Never need to touch it. What's the impression you're getting from the Athlete vs the comparable Clear Black?

What is your rate for a local player? I'm only 20 minutes from Slate and would be interested in a bootcamp or other sessions this winter.

Seconded. I like the UniLoc for ease, but don't really care much. I just like all my cues using the same joint so everything is interchangeable. I wish the Blak series were UniLoc, but my wallet is glad they are not.... 🙃

0-7, 1-7 Playing 10B on a 9' Diamond yesterday. Got a ways to go to beat Ghost on that table...

Where in MN? I usually play at Jimmy's in Columbia Heights if you're ever up for some friendly sets.

Some people really struggle with creating a bridge. I don't get it, but I've been playing since i was little and am fairly coordinated. Steps i give people are: Hand spread flat on the table with thumb closed, then lightly "squeeze" the table. Seems to work for most people. One of the weirdest...

Same way i feel about mountain biking (my primary summer hobby): Good bikes are expensive AF, but riding most trails is free. Just the cost of fuel to get there and parts (plus post-ride beers, but we don't count those...). Seconded. I "replaced" my primary cue that i bought in 2010 mostly...

Make all the balls magically disappear off the table.

<sarcasm> Picked up an SVB Dakota Edition CueTec and instantly became an 800. Makes balls by itself, always at least 3 on the break. <sarcasm\> Really though: Added this cue to my collection because I like variety and the SVB pearl white is so distinctive. I've never had a playing cue that...

Preference. I got the sampler and prefer the Soft. Also like the hard more than the medium, so... *shrugs* I would guess that the S/M/H act differently on different tips: The soft is great on all my Kamui soft tips, but the hard applied best on the break/jump tips. Correlation, maybe not...
