    Yeah, this.

    New predator legacy case

    Yeah, they took what could have been a good looking case and ruined it by putting that stupid script all over the outside. I don't mind it on the inside fabric so much, but they should have just left the outside as plain leather and it would have looked so much better. Even the cat logo on the...

    Wood vs carbon fiber shafts for top pros - I went through the Fargo top 100 to see who uses what

    Having recently gotten a Jacoby Black v4 and playing Revo before, can confirm the Jacoby has a much longer pro taper and it's pretty noticeable in comparison to the Revo. This is comparing the 12.3 Jacoby to the 12.4 Revo, both 30" shafts in my case. I was pleasantly surprised by it, wasn't...

    Any thoughts on Viking x Collaboration

    The AC cues are some of the best looking Vikings I've ever seen. Been eyeing them for a while but haven't seen one in person yet unfortunately. They do seem to use the same modified 3/8x10 pin that Ariel uses and not the standard Viking pin, so they're not just normal Viking cues with someone...

    Wood vs carbon fiber shafts for top pros - I went through the Fargo top 100 to see who uses what

    That is just one form of carbon fiber and really not typically a good form for use structurally, a woven carbon like that is mostly used for decorative purposes often on top of a more purposeful structural layup where the direction of carbon filaments are laid up in such a way as to provide the...

    Wood vs carbon fiber shafts for top pros - I went through the Fargo top 100 to see who uses what

    Surprised there is still that much wood in the top 100. Wonder how many of those are low deflection wood vs standard…would guess largely LD? I don’t think there is much performance difference from a modern wood LD shaft vs carbon. But there is a big difference between either of those and...

    BK4 Tip

    No clue what it is but it's a good cue and really doesn't feel all that different from a BK Rush. I have both currently, BK Rush is my main break cue and I picked up a BK4 to keep in another case with with a wood shafted playing cue....just felt like having an all wood alternative setup and the...

    Cueist - now also on iPhone!

    Nice, downloaded! I don't have a table at home so had to stop the setup process since it goes right into assessment. Not a huge deal but since many people don't have tables at home it would be nice to be able to do account setup and browse around a bit without doing the assessment until...

    Seller shipped cue via USPS on the 13th, but it is seemingly still not in transit. Just shows Accepted by USPS.

    I’ve typically had great luck with USPS but just recently had a package take 2 weeks when it should have been 3 days. Showed no movement for over a week from acceptance. Seller finally started an inquiry or something and that did get it scanned after a day or two. Still took a while to get...

    DigiBall Passaround - Sign Up Full

    @nataddrho I confirmed with @mikeiniowa earlier this week that he had received it, tested it and sent it on to @Mensabum who did confirm to have received it.

    What's going on with pool equipment?

    Yeah, I think the market is doing just fine. Predator has trouble keeping Revos in stock because they sell them as fast as they build them. Cuetec and Lucasi are making some solid cues these days. The cue market has certainly changed, it's no longer dominated by custom cue builders and...

    Anyone bring their own chairs to the pool hall?

    Wait, there are league players who bring their own chair with them? Why? Are they playing in a bar short on seating? I’ve never heard of or seen this before and seem really weird. But I guess if I was playing somewhere without chairs or stools I’d want a place to sit too, just never seen...

    59” or 60” cues

    I played 58" for a long time but last year or so gave a 30" shaft a try and I've become a big fan. Didn't love it at first but after playing with it for a while I've really grown to like that extra bit of reach and how it positions me at the point of contact in my stroke. Since it's pretty...

    Jacoby signature and if it affects price

    I also don't know for sure, from looking at pics I'd say the sig is probably not done by hand...too consistent but the dating probably is. I've never heard of any difference in price based on David vs Brandon or any change in quality. Just got myself a new Jacoby in today to be my new...

    Your 1st Cue, 30 Years Later

    Mine was only about 25 years ago or so and was a simple grey stained Viking with a grey pearl butt sleeve. Very similar to this: https://www.vikingcue.com/viking-storm-st0711/ I was in my early 20's, getting ready to start going to college alongside my now ex-wife. There was a small pool...

    Savannah's home table?

    I would guess that is a table they've had for a while and just had redone and spruced up. Could be wrong, purely conjecture, but you're right you'd expect a Diamond if it was something purchased recently for her. But, you don't get to be that good at her age without growing up near a pool...

    Pool jerseys are bad, but also not good

    They are ugly in a lot of cases, so bright and loud, but I get it for the pros. Branding, easy identification with names on the back, provides a “sporty” professional look. I don’t plan to ever wear one myself but if I were a pro and had sponsors to rep it’d make a ton more sense. I will...

    Jump cue advice

    I have the Avid jump cue and I'm not impressed, I find it hard to jump with. If anyone wants to try it make an offer :) I think the playing and break cues are probably solid though. I also have an Air Rush and that's a great jump cue but also tried someone's Propel recently and boy was that...

    Predator C4+

    I think maple is typically used as a coring wood. No clue on the details of the Predator build though, sorry.
