    KO brothers tip review.

    Totally agree with you. Think we have the same thinking tbh - I like MW super tips (the green ones here, which I am sure are the same as North Demon and O'min's Emerald or whatever it's called at 3 times the price). The price rose slightly hence trying tB to begin with based on a AZB...

    KO brothers tip review.

    Sure is! Even importing the TB tip here is cheaper than the KO. Crazy how much you pay for a logo. There's not much between them in honesty. But the guy at my hall stuck one on a shaft I bought of him. Don't hate it. But for the price, and how I've played. TB is on top.

    Take all of the weight out of your break cue

    I enjoy both relative to the game played. Granted I am an established fan, enthusiast and player of cuesports. Playing 192 I break from the corner. Wing ball 99.9%, sometimes the 1 in the middle (I'd rather it sat up table, but when getting the hang of a table I often make it here, and it's not...

    Those who can do, those who can't... :unsure: not sure how that old proverb finishes. Enjoy your way! I have a preference for breaking 10ball, but doesn't mean I'm not playing other games too I think the best breakers in all formats make it look good. Granted a speed-o-meter would be something...

    Black Ferrules

    I was going to put a black Micarta (carbon? I am not sure) on my ILC shaft, and the cue smith basically said the material is not suitable for American pool, and recommended it for thinner shafts tailored at Chinese 8ball. He said he puts it on tons of Chinese 8ball cues. I personally lean into...

    Tbf, it's not impossible to break MR format at speed. Sure not max speed, but there are lots of great examples of players who can do this without 'sissy breaking shit' Both Kaçi's, Big and middle KO, FSR etc Squeezing the one in the side with another power to get back through the balls at...

    KO brothers tip review.

    Anyway, Ko tips are alright, but I preferred the Thoroughbred M.

    Never thought I would be one to say this, given the length of some of my postings... but TLDR 😂 When the coffee kicks in I come back to this.

    Take all of the weight out of your break cue

    Interesting, I actually feel more stress on my shoulder currently. Not debilitating or worthy of an "ouch" by any means. But noticed a little twinge. Probably from lack of familiarity, and the extra speed through the ball taking all the ligaments and whatever by surprise.

    Was roughly 100$ extra his way. I am happy with that. Hope it works for you! I still didn't measure what mine weighs now. Will do it later.

    Ignite G was a lucky trade with a friend who wanted a Deep Impact. So a little cash his way, and I got a good deal. Is a good shaft. I wrote a bit about it previously. Well worth it. Highly rate.

    I have had three different friends give negative feedback of the Taom. Damaging cloth, and self-destructing with friction wearing the edges of the tip unevenly. I also considered this tip to replace the Mezz Sonic, which I found to lose shape easily, so I have a spare (which I will likely never...

    True, and I think that will be relevant to the individual, there physical condition and their stroke mechanics. Like most things in cue sports, you can learn to use anything. Some things fit our playing 'personality' (for want of a better word)

    Take all of the weight out of your break cue

    Currently PBkai with Ignite G shaft. A bulletproof tip. After playing it in for a few months, I find it transfers energy really nicely through the ball. Enough softeness for 'feel' and hard enough for power through the ball. I like the 'feel' to it, for me I feel this helps with timing and...

    I'd trust a guy named jtompilot regarding this matter

    Take all of the weight out of your break cue

    Sound advice, I would tend to trust a member named 'Crasher' on matters relating to breaking 😂 Played some more WPA 9ball last night, still very happy. Took around 5 breaks to make some adjustment to MR breaking, but feel pretty solid there. 8/10 ball break both working well. Took a few...

    You sure don't 🤷‍♂️ No sense flogging a dead horse.

    Yes, Matchroom and WPA seem to lean into that, even with a 3-point rule, you're not needing 100% effort.
