No, can't mark the rail like that. Foul. https://www.billiards.com/blogs/articles/official-bca-general-rules-of-pocket-billiards#:~:text=ILLEGAL%20MARKING.,shot%2C%20no%20penalty%20is%20imposed.

Yeah, I don't think most posts asking about specific details of a players cue are doing so because they want to recreate an exact setup. I'm curious what pro players use, I knew Filler liked a really light cue for example and that 16oz number seems familiar though I couldn't have come up with...

I've never met such a player really. Sure, some people might take a bit of influence here or there and maybe some people, especially newer players who have yet to develop and figure out their own preferences with regards to cues, go further and really do align their cue specs to a favorite...

Couple years back a friend and league teammate gave me a piece of Taom. That got me to spend the next few weeks working on ingraining carrying my own chalk to and from (that was the hard one) the table. It definitely took a bit to get into the habit but I’m glad I did it. I too am a chalk...

Yeah, Shades of Grey is what I'm using and it's a good dark theme view IMO

I think custom cues will survive okay but they'll probably start coming with carbon shafts in most cases. Many people still want something unique that can't just be purchased off the shelf by the thousands. And I think we're starting to see the emergence of a modern custom market. I've...

If you have one let me know, bonus points for green accents

Happy Birthday and congrats on beating the big ugly C!! Glad you're still here to stir sh*t up :)

Huh. Took the wood shafts out for a spin today, good old standard full deflection for the playing cue. I watched this video thinking, boy that doesn’t make any sense, that’s equivalent to using a pivot point at the very butt end of the cue…makes no sense, he must be doing a lot experiential...

Carbon shafts are also still fairly new and can vary greatly in their feel. Go try a Revo and a Jacoby Black V4 side by side, massive massive difference in feel. They do perform fairly similarly but feel drastically different. The Revo is stiff and feels and sounds like it. The Black V4...

Measure the balance point from both and see how they compare. My guess is the Predator is more forward balanced, which is my preference. Measuring from the end of the butt cap I like a balance around 19-19.5". Anything below 18" is an absolute no go for me.

Agree with this. Best feeling cue I've ever played with is probably my South West Satin. The feel and feedback from that cue is amazing, I now "get" the South West thing and why they are so popular. But I also have been playing with carbon shafts lately and they do just make the game...

I have not seen any move back towards wood around me. Wood is still in use by mostly casual players and a few serious players here and there but that number seems to be dropping. Most players I see who are intermediate or above are playing carbon these days. Small local tournament last...

I got tennis elbow years ago from actually playing tennis. It was pretty bad and took forever to really get better. Golf would aggravate it some as well as some things in the gym. But it had been mostly gone for years until this last year or so when it started flaring up again. Pool would...

Can't wait to watch it! Pool could use a new movie and I'll watch pretty much anything with Jenna Ortega in it. I'm seeing more and more young people getting into the game and this type of thing can only help. I rarely go to a movie in a theater, probably less than 1 time per year since I...

Interesting release. Not the shaft so much as the decision by Predator to release a wood exterior shaft at a price point almost the same as Revo. Carbon has become so ubiquitous at this point I feel like more people want the carbon look than the wood look. This shaft would have made more...

I agree that using this in a tournament format with it displayed on screen would be really cool, I would LOVE to be able to watch a pro tournament and see exactly how the player is hitting the shot. Even just setting up an exhibition match to showcase this with some good and knowledgeable...

Haha!!

I wonder about JB Cases since those all come from China. What's going to happen to the price and availability of both his cases and the interiors. Having had a lot of nice cases over the years I'll pretty much only use something with a JB interior at this point, like my wonderful leather case...

@mikeiniowa & @Sheldon if you guys could post your reviews to the review thread when you get a chance it would be appreciated, thanks! https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/digiball-passaround-reviews.572960/page-6
