    OPINIONS ON THIS BREAK/JUMP CUE .....ACTION ACTBJ56 BREAK JUMP CUE

    For almost 200, I would have him use a house cue till he learns to play a bit. The break is shot is 95% technique and how good of a rack you get. Till he can hit a ball straight with power, a break cue is a bit of a waste.

    Mighty x drill leaving mark on cloth

    Go look at the table Bert has in his videos if you want to see wear from doing drills. It is perfectly normal.

    International Open 9-Ball 2024, St. Augustine, FL, Nov. 18-22

    I thought an open event was just no restrictions in entry, so any skill level, any sex. Pay your money and play.

    Games other than pool in pool halls

    Stocker, in 10 years you can get into West Point playing it. It all comes down to video game reflexes.

    International Open 9-Ball 2024, St. Augustine, FL, Nov. 18-22

    Is there a schedule of matches online when they start? I am in the area for work but would need to take time off to go. Probably would be able to on Thursday.

    Ruling please

    Pretty sure even if the rule is 2 and 3 on the corners, it is not a foul but an illegal/non compliant break. So either the other player breaks or the same player breaks again.

    I fell for the Carbon Fiber Hype

    You tried one CF shaft and formed an option on all of them. If you want a very low deflection shaft then Predator Revo is what you want. The other CF shafts are no better than the good wood LD shafts. Their popularity is due to more than one feature. You can't assume all CF shafts will be...

    In Louisville this week, any fun local places to play in?

    Railyard, yes. Place called Fox Den looks nice also. Any local hangouts with OK tables that maybe run a weekly tournament with nice folks playing? Good food is a bonus :) If anyone is from the area and wants to meet up, I am this second about to head to Railyard for lunch, some local brown...

    How good was Jimmy Mataya in his prime? Should he be in the HOF?

    I thought they had a section for those that contributed to the sport without being great players, or even players at all. For example, if Jeanette Lee was not a good player, her promotion of pool should still land her in the HOF. I think Mataya was good enough of a player combined with a...

    Pro taper vs conical taper on deflection?

    Why mess with a good shaft? Just buy a low deflection shaft for your cue. Way simpler and you have the original shaft intact.

    advice on Fargorate going down after +59 effective rating

    I would guess if you actually play at a higher rating consistently for another 200 games or so, you will jump up a few dozen points in that time. Playing well in one tournament won't help much.

    Are any carbon fiber shafts low deflection?

    You are very much the exception here, in fact the first person I have heard of thinking the HXT shaft is lower deflection than any good brand CF shaft. Most of the regular posters on AZB and reviewers have played with dozens of different shafts and are very well aware of deflection. I have an...

    Are any carbon fiber shafts low deflection?

    You may not be trying them out properly, all of those have lower deflection than the HXT shaft, even the thinner version. What you posted is the opposite of what everyone else has experienced. I have not tried the Rhino shaft but from all reviews it is a good LD shaft, and I have played with...

    Any idea what years joss did not put a logo on a butt cap only the in the collar

    If it has a serial number, just check with Joss, it would be recorded. No need to guess or estimate. Why is the year important? They are all the same value, only thing that would change it is condition and fanciness. A 5 yr old Joss is worth as much as a 20 yr old one for the same model.

    Simonis Cloth for Gold Crown IV

    Unless you are trying to match the room decor, green / green-blue / or blue are the best colors for players. Tan and grey are not bad either, worlds over red or black.
