I've never owned a Gilbert playing cue but I'd like to some day. I have owned a jump/break and it was just a beautifully built cue, perfectly finished in every way and seemed to have been made with a very high attention to detail. When a builder puts that much effort into an inexpensive $500...

Yep, it's very true. I like nice cues, custom or modern production with carbon low deflection and all that....but it's all unnecessary to play good pool. I still like to pick up a house cue every now and then to remind myself of that. Yeah, the deflection takes some adjustment when I've...

Do you mean Andy Gilbert? Those look like his rings.

That is a classy looking cue, I like it!!

Okay, that helps at least, glad there weren't adults that let that happen. Kids will be kids. Lessons were learned I'm sure and definitely a nice gesture by the one!! Hope you can find somebody to fix them up so the dings aren't too noticeable. If they're 13mm shafts you could always have...

And seemingly some adult stood there and not only watched that happened but recorded it as well without stepping in and saying maybe don't bash other peoples things??? That's so incredibly inconsiderate, wow. I would have words for that family member to educate them on respecting other peoples...

I had a nice run going recently but feel like I just lost it and entered a bit of a slump. Started playing a local weekly tournament and was doing okay, not winning or anything but for a couple months I was getting 2-3 wins before getting knocked out (double elimination) and I was happy with...

So I have a full Revo playing setup, K Series Classic with a pair of 30” 12.4 shafts, BK Rush and Air Rush. Great modern playing setup. But I like traditional wood shaft cues still too and keep both my Runde and my South West satin around for when I feel like kicking it old school. Wood still...

Same here. If there was a mobile app of some sort so I could either cast to my TV via Chromecast or a smart tv app I could access direct from my TV I likely would sign up at the monthly rate and at least give it a go for a while. Without that though, probably not except maybe in cases of...

I don't smoke (anymore) but the rest of that sounds like a lovely combination on a winters day! I long for the day I have space for a pool table and can hole up at home and just play pool for hours on end, especially on a snowy day with good food and drink around.

I like it. One of those “how has nobody thought of this until now” type of ideas. I could see it especially nice with a person you play frequently to add some variety to the matchups.

I'm definitely going to watch this over the weekend at some point. It looks to be a $6 rental or a $20 purchase everywhere. So, for those who've watched it, how would you rate the rewatchability? Is this a better one and done rental or something you could see watching multiple times?

I don't think that is true at all....but I also can't tell if you're arguing for or against that statement, haha. I guess maybe it depends on how you define "better". But I don't think if you gave Shane an amazingly crafted Szamboti, Balabushka, or similar cue most people would classify as...

While I do believe you have some valid points and criticisms, I for one appreciate the commentary on the level of Matchroom/WNT streams. I love pool and I can watch it in person no problem but I just can't seem to sit in front of my tv and stay engaged with a match without some audio commentary...

Yes and no. It works in that it sent an email, but for whatever reason my Gmail likes to dump most (but not all) Predator emails into my junk folder regardless of how many times I tell it they're not spam. So it didn't work in my case, but that may be a me or a Gmail issue and is not a...

They tend to come in and go out frequently in my experience. For good periods of time I've checked almost daily in the morning. For a while was waiting to snag a 30" shaft and once I did and decided I liked it had to wait another 4-6 weeks before I was able to snag a second one. Once that...

This discussion is so weird, OP making a broad generalization on a flawed initial premise. Pretty sure the Gilbert J/B never started life as a full splice, pretty sure it was always built as a short splice forearm that screws into the handle section. Even if that wasn't the case and it started...

Great looking case!! Love me a nice simple brown or black leather case like! Congrats on picking the best, King is where it's at!

I finally accepted and fully embraced that I was never going to be a great golfer. Doesn't diminish my love for the game though, just my endless pursuit of trying to get better and getting frustrated at the results. I'm a bogey golfer on a good day, maybe slightly better on my best day but...

Currently reading Pleasures of Small Motions and it has a section on this. Copied from the book: “You attribute the improvement in your play to the new stick, though in reality the difference is simply that you are paying more attention to fine motor control and fine-grained sensations.” I...
