WNT: 9 on the spot, break box, winner breaks, no 3 points rule WPA: 9 on the spot, no box just anywhere behind the string, 3 points rule, alternate breaks. Which format do you prefer? Both seem to make the spread more random and tight matches

It's all in your head... Ken Doherty won a world snooker championship with a bent cue, in fact he played all his career with that bent cue. If it doesn't bother you then it doesn't matter but if it does than replace it as your mind won't rest until you do and it'll hurt your game

I wonder if making a heavy KW shaft without any inserts means that the wood is not torrefied enough to get all the moisture and other compounds out and keep it at a certain weight. is there such a thing? a half baked KW shaft?

First, there is an angle there so don't need to draw... But lets assume that it is a straight in shot, you need to jack up and draw. make sure your bridge is very solid and not shaky, hold the butt very loose, relax your body and muscles, especially your sholder, Use a slip stroke. In any case...

If you want a future for American pool, you have to let the next generation play with the big boys.

Could be a hair width away if you strike ot correctly

The only case made today that is similar that is not custom is the Katana case. I got their 2x2 version and I like it and the slip on lid, looks like modern meets old school. I strapped a small camera pouch it to hold chalk, glove and a tip tool if I want to go minimal...

wait until they start to check their wooden shafts after the sand them all the time... BTW. the measurements could be wrong....

if I understand the Fargo handicap system correctly, then for a 100 point difference, the handicap is twice the games. So in a 9ball match, a race to 9, an 800 player will need to win 9 while a 700 player will need to win 4. this is definitely going to go for the 700 player. But same race...

If you order a batch of cues (was 400 last time that I've checked), from a factory in China, you can brand them anyway you'd like. This looks like the case here, just some OEM cue with branding aimed at a very low level market.

a weak player won't run 9 balls and out. most likely he'll leave a strong player less balls to run out... yeah, he may fluke a 9 on the break or just in a wild shot and even might get a win if a stronger player chocks on the last couple of balls but he won't do it 5 times. So a race to 2 or 3 he...

you should be more worried about the ferrule cracking....

In rotation games, a handicap system that is based on uneven games that are needed to win simply doesn't work. the stronger player will always win. This system is good for 8 ball only. In short races, the weaker player may get lucky, but in races longer than 5, no chance in hell. Giving certain...

nothing but these are the prices for top brands these days.

Tools of the day Play - McDaniel Mac Attack with InFuze Kielwood shaft, Kamui Tan Clear hard tip (I don't like this tip) Jump / Break - Players J/B with modified phenolic ferrule and Samsara jump break tip (I do like this tip) Originaly I got the InFuze for a different butt, but it balances...

If longer cue is needed then an extension is not the solution as it adds weight to the rear end and changes the balance point. Earl’s logic only works for Earl.

I also have their jump cue. I like it, works well and a good value

Gonna wear it today to the pool hall 😄

Totally different and the movement to the side of the forearm in 2012 video is totally for spin - back hand pivot, which doesn’t work with low deflection carbon shaft. He had to change it.

I own couple of Rhino CF shafts but I never got to play a full cue from them. A guy that plays with me in a weekly tournament just got one from the Retro line. So I’ve asked him to test hit it. First, the cue looks really nice. Upon close inspection, it’s really hard for the non professional...
