I have a feeling we are looking at an end of an era and a beginning of a new one with newer / younger players. Laws of nature...

30-40 years ago, most pros played with custom made cues. Slowly but surely players started to get sponsorship by cue companies, first the good old American cue makers and later Chinese and other imported cues brands. If 40 years ago a player wanted a SW because some top pros used them, later it...

Biado beat Vann Vann but looked very unhappy with how the table plays

I doubt that we’ll see an American reaching the final 8. I don’t consider Gorst as an American for that matter. I’m sure he get to the final 8. All of them can win a big match but I don’t think they can do it match after match against a very strong field. SVB feels like past his prime. Tyler can...

I love watching her play, great and elegant player.

Actually, it's more of a stroke thing. With a good stroke, you can generate lots of spin and not go far out of the centre. This brings us back to feedback and feel, as those will affect the stroke, and if a certain piece of equipment feels better, it'll allow a better stroke, and in our mind we...

wood is fun, caring for it - not so much As you do not lose anything with CF, but rather gain - lower deflection, more power, better durability and care free. And feel is something that you get used to, wood is really obsolete, just a matter of time before people would forget that cues and...

I can only answer about shafts that I have and have played with for a sufficient amount of time: 1. JFlowers SMO 12.5 mm 2. Predator Revo 12.9 mm 3. CueTec Cynergy 12.5 mm 4. Rhino 12.5 mm The CueTec is nice; it deflects a bit more than the SMO and the Predator and feels very good, but the...

When I asked about the RAW and the FG57 difference, this is what I've got When I've asked about the New TS1, here is what I got: we’ll have a full comparison post up tomorrow between TS1, Whyte Carbon, and the FG57 Signature shaft! There are quite a few differences between them all! TS1 is...

You can’t even get to see the brackets and live score without paying. I understand that they need the funds and the support and I’m OK with paying for streaming but brackets? Come on…

This guy just gave “dead money” a whole new meaning

You are the exception, most players do need it

This is my first custom cue, I got it around 2002. It was my main player for a while but at some point it felt too fancy for the local pool hall and a Schon took its place. Took it out tonight to shoot at league, gave it a bit of a contemporary look with the CF shaft :geek: Still shoots great...

Don’t do it!!! You do not want to see just how imperfect are all those nice perfect cues… It like taking a picture and the cropping in and trying to enjoy it while realizing that it’s not in perfect focus, instead it should be printed and viewed from a sensible viewing distance. Cues should be...

Putting a time limit on a match is still absurd in my opinion. If I have a race to six match and we have a slow start and I’m down 0-2, it’s pretty much over for me… I want to know that the race is on to six and I have time for a comeback. Losing matches 4-3 because of the clock is ridiculous…

It is sad that a lot of cue makers deserted the good old SS 5/16x14, I like that joint, but I also like the 3/8x10 joint. I guess that with the introduction of radial and modified 3/8x10 and better equipment most of the wooden threads issues were gone so the transfer made sense. The piloted...

UPL is aimed at amateurs You can’t expect them to shoot fast. It is what it is.

In league and also on non tv tables, there is no shot clock. But there is a time limit on a match which I think is absurd.
