The fully grooved handle seems weird and looks rediculous to me. But, I do like the little pinched section on some for dart stroke jumping. Have a Jacoby and an AirRush and when dart stroking the air rush I miss the narrower bit on the Jacoby for that, works great.

This is in perfect condition and dead straight. I bought this when making the switch to a full Predator/Revo setup but I really wanted a cue with green in it and they didn't have one I liked. Couple weeks later I was able to snag a cue with some green in it. So this was played maybe 1-2 weeks...

I am a fairly smart and decently educated individual, I’ve looked up the proper use of affect/effect and I still can never remember. I’ve given up and pretty much just use effect even though I know it’ll be wrong sometimes, haha

Wow, those are both beautiful!! Great work Al!

Very cool, love seeing them get some press coverage. They’re both great representatives for pool.

This is correct. So much misinformation floating around here. Shaft/tip diameter will not effect spin. You can draw it out with a piece of paper pretty easy. Tip curvature plays a small roll, but assuming a consistent tip curvature then shaft diameter will not matter until/unless you...

Lots of good options. Schon and Jacoby would always be on my list for a US made cue in that price range. Something to consider is availability of an extension. Not all cues have good butt extensions available and they've become quite popular. I have a few custom cues, a couple Rundes and a...

Playing cue is 19, breaker is 18.5. I've typically gone close but slightly lighter on my break cue. I'm interested in experimenting though, guy on my league team loaded up his breaker to be pretty heavy and it's the same BK Rush as I have, need to do some test breaks with both and see how the...

I really like that, very true.

I believe what you're seeing is them sighting off the perceived center of a "ghost ball". They could be doing this to align their aim or in other circumstances, where that is obviously not the case, they're checking where the tangent line goes to judge the path of the cue ball post contact with...

That is true and especially applicable to the casual players. My league doesn't report to Fargo but I've played in enough tournaments that do and it's nice and so easy to get one just by doing that. I wish my league reported to Fargo though, would be nice. I would guess more than half of my...

Yeah, my app tracks it for me based on the scores I enter there, but it's not an official USGA handicap so not counted in any data on averages. Most of the people I play with have at least a good idea of what their handicap is, many a very good idea, but only a couple I can think of carry and...

Yeah, I think the golf handicap is very heavily skewed. I've been a golfer most of my life, picked up the game when I was 14. Some years I may only play a few times, other years it's been my main hobby and I would play a lot. I have never had an official handicap. I'm about a 16 I think...

I don't know, pretty much aligns with my expectations exactly. I've long thought shaft diameter made pretty minimal difference in performance and it's more of a feel and visual thing. I've tried multiple tip diameters and never noticed much difference but found dime visually to seem "too...

Genuinely curious, what is it specifically you don’t like? I’m fairly new to Predator. Having owned a fair few custom cues in the past and still owning two Runde’s and a South West satin, I’m actually quite impressed with Predator quality. Especially their playing cues. In my experience the...

So I haven't had mine too long and I'm pretty careful with my cues so mine is perfect. I see a fair number of them and don't remember seeing any that looked too banged up, unlike the Air 2s which I do see a fair number of dinged up ones. But, they have just been out a lot longer too so that...

Do you plan to keep it on all the time, like SVB, or just put it on when you need the extra reach? If the first, then 4" might be nice and 8" would be doable too though. If you only want it for the long reaches then I think 11" is great. I'm playing a Predator cue these days and I have their...

I try not to make a big divot in the middle of my chalk...I really do....but I just can't seem to make it work. I see people with these almost flatly worn pieces of chalk and I just can't seem to do it. Oh well, still working on my first piece of Taom Pyro and it's been over a year now I'm...

If you read my second post, I definitely reconsidered things https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/what-a-tool.562656/post-7771679 I still don't agree with making that call on someone but you're right, if a ref made the call then I would not feel she was in the right to skip shaking hands...

I have no doubt good and interesting games could be adapted or created for a table without side pockets, but it’s the necessity of requiring a new table that makes it wholly impractical IMO. Pool rooms typically aren’t doing well enough to want to start bringing in new specialized tables and the...
