More experience being in those situations definitely helps. Breathing exercises can help too, deep slow breaths will help calm the body. A 2.5mg microdose gummy isn't bad either :)

Way too pricey for me, but cool that it comes with a custom hard case at least. I did try hard to buy the new Panthera, was online right at the release time and got one in my cart then the site errored and then went down. When it came back up they were gone. Kinda pissed about that after...

I would really like to try a Whyte shaft, they look nice and the interchangeable joint is great. I can handle the $600 price but I like a 30" shaft and they want an extra $150 for that one extra inch, which is ridiculous, especially compared to the small $30 price increase Predator charges for...

21.3mm is pretty close to the standard .840" size that a lot of aftermarket shafts feature. Jacoby makes one that size for Cuetec: https://jacobycustomcues.com/JacobyCMS/black-shafts/642-1018-maple-shaft-radial-joint.html#/1-shaft_length-29_inch/34-tip_diameter-1180mm Going to have a much...

Don't really think about which side I come into it from but I would say most of the time it's from the outside of the cut angle just because I would have moved around to see down the object ball target line in most cases so going back to the shot line it will be moving back from that outside the...

I like this idea, an app that could suggest drills and provide some training structure from my phone that I always have with me at the pool hall anyway seems like a great idea and a great way to spend solo practice time without doing the same drills over and over. I'm an iOS user so I signed...

This guy knows shoes! 👍

Wow, love this cue!! Green veneers and purple heart look so good together.

Yeah, I’ll continue to stay out of NPR I think, especially this week.

I agree with all that. I don't think you should be able to take a pocketed ball out to measure, but if you already have ball in hand it's a weird grey area and just seems easier to let the player do that....though I will say that is one I have refrained from doing myself because of the rules...

This is interesting, I know you can’t use a ball to check for clearance but I didn’t realize you weren’t allowed to use your body….I’ve often used three fingers wide as the width of a ball to check for clearance…guess I need to stop doing that.

Wow, that looks really nice! I’m going to have to make a trip back to visit sometime, haven’t been in the area since ‘06 when I graduated from Iowa State but I’ve been thinking about going back one of these days and this gives me one more reason. Great to see a hall doing well enough to do...

This is very useful thanks, seeing the path diagrams is great, especially as it relates to the second ball break in 8 ball on a bar box vs 9'. I typically play 9' tables but recently played in a tournament on bar boxes and struggled with the break in some sets. Other players were using a...

Yeah, I had going down for a shot and seeing chalk dust on my carbon shaft. Never noticed it on wood shafts but it's really noticeable against the black carbon shaft. Now the tables I play are, sadly, not the cleanest. I wouldn't think they'd have the same problem at some of these big...

Glad to see they have an actual ruling spelled out for the scenario. And a good/logical one at that. I like it. No clue on CSI rules currently, could still be in effect. I still always rack with the 2 and 3 in the corners ever since I played in a couple small local tournaments years ago...

Yeah, I've definitely played under those rules before but I don't think they're super common these days. If that is the rules they were playing I still don't think that's a foul, rerack and rebreak for same player IMO. I don't think you can foul by racking and it was still a legal hit assuming...

If you can control all those variables perfectly you'll get very consistent, but not exact results. Dust/dirt/chalk on the cloth or balls, humidity and temp difference, etc all will introduce a bit of variance to the results I think. But there have definitely been cases of players soft...

Could be a high wrap but could just be the butt taper too. Not all cues will lay flat on the table because they don’t all use a straight taper. Regardless of why, if the gap is pretty consistent I wouldn’t worry about it

So simple yet I'm sure super effective. I can just imagine it swinging wildly as I try to shoot a hard shot, haha. Might have to give this a try sometime....when nobody else is around....

Looks like some great cues....what are they?
