I tested the 12.5 Rhino against my Cuetec Cynergy 12.5. Both are LD, and the Rhino is slightly lower (15” pivot point vs 14” for the Cynergy).

Predator break shafts aren’t as LD as their playing shafts, and bridge length is typically longer for break shots, so I’d guess even if he does play a Predator break that his bridge is pretty close to the PP. edit: confirmed to be true

Stay classy, AZB

Lots of players match their bridge length to PP with LD shafts, even with the z2/3 and Revo - I think it’s one reason we see longer bridge lengths in general than in the pre-LD days. I don’t think the small amount of sidespin applied with an unintentional off-center strike will cause enough...

Yeah, I’d consider 10” “normal” as well. Not sure I’d consider 12” LD - I suppose it’s borderline.

They’ll be more accurate with a shaft with a natural pivot point that matches their bridge length, as it will auto-correct for unintentional sidespin. Shafts with a 10” PP are not LD. I consider 14” and higher LD. So if they really want LD, they should lengthen their bridge to match if they...

Never heard of a tip that gets softer as it’s played.

That’s about the typical markup for Grainger. Hate it when they’re the only supplier for something I need.

I’m claiming Automatic Butt Ejector for my band name

It’d be nice if @mikepage could add an “Even” category to the app which creates races as close to 50:50 odds as possible. “Hot” races still tend to give the stronger player a 55-60% chance of winning, even on races to 11. For example, for a 500 vs a 600, the Hot race to 11 is 8-14, which gives...

Too bad one of them couldn’t play better. If they could have hit a nice power draw, Greg Stink could have said “she pulled that cueball back like it was on a string!”

I agree cloth factors are important, but I’m not sure they’re much more important than ball surface friction.

Thanks, worth a try - just ordered this Amazon bestseller for $13: https://amzn.to/3HOTWG1

Cue makers often have varying degrees of “Artist” in their personality, which can bring in negative traits like conceit, mood swings, procrastination, substance abuse, etc etc. Add in a little fame with uber-popular builders, and it can lead to conflict. Not sure a contract is going to change...

That’s awesome, rofl 😂 Sudeikis is a national treasure.

I went through your content on this subject several months ago. It’s very good and thorough, but I still think that using straight Aramith cleaner as recommended often leaves balls too slick, depending on quantity used and buffing methodology. I would also humbly suggest adding more emphasis on...

So I randomly came across this video made by a PBIA instructor and BU grad (shoutout @dr_dave) that does a good job showing the differences in play between dirty and what he calls “clean” balls. If you don’t have time to watch the whole video, watch the 3-Rail kick section starting at 3:11...

Sorry I spoiled it. I’ll edit my answer to warn folks about that.

I just ordered one of these. It ships from Australia, came to $55.04 USD total shipped to Texas. Will give it a review when received. Here’s the promo video linked in the ebay product description:

Looks like he sells it for $59.95 on his Products page: https://www.poolteacher.com/about-4
