CF is definitely taking over, even for older players. Seems at least half of players I see use a CF shaft. And many more are using aftermarket shafts in general. It's very hard to run into anyone playing with a stock shaft, even from a high-end maker. I was just at Raxx in NY, and the place...

Are you telling us or asking? Hard to tell which because the photo you have in your post describes the differences, which would answer your question. I have played with the SMO and liked it, very low deflection and good hit feel for a CF shaft. Basically, look at the deflection and pick which...

I think SVB is responsible for both the glove and Cuetec being products good players use. Before he was around using both they were stuck in the noob equipment rut. The long cue goes to Earl, with SVB and Jayson following.

You feel they do, but it's not always true.

This is why the best way to find information is to use a normal web search, read through the references it shows then pick the correct one from that based on the source. I've been reading post on Reddit lately where people basically cut and paste some chatbot reply to the question verbatim...

What do you mean tournaments that have only their products? You are not talking about the players using only Predator cues are you? If you mean the equipment at the table is all theirs, why not? There are maybe 2-3 companies out there capable of supplying good equipment to a pool tournament...

I have never seen anyone bring furniture into a pool hall to use. However, I have seen someone bring in their own large cone of powder in a metal bucket, which I though was the funniest thing I have seen. They did not have their own cues, but by golly they brough in enough hand chalk to supply...

The soft tip I got is interesting but going back to leather. I had the tip on my travel setup and was using it for about 4 weeks. The hit feel varied based on the speed, if you hit it harder, it seemed to absorb the hit feel, almost causing a delay in feed-back, sort of like a badly dubbed...

Get the rubber mat stuff they use at gyms, not too soft.

One of the best lines about the cue ball came from McCready, when using the then new measles ball he missed a shot and said to Buddy Hall "I guess I hit the wrong polkadot", Buddy cracked up LOL

I'm not sure you understood the connection I was trying to make. You're also, for some reason, thinking that because people are disagreeing with you you are correct, like this is some sort of government conspiracy that everyone is in on except for you, so the fact that everyone is saying one...

There are quite a few players with distinct styles, however the vast majority of 700 and even 800 Fargo rated players have extremely similar mechanics and position play. Because that is the best suited to high level play. Not because they're inherently boring players.

This reads like a flat earther or creationist posting pictures of un-related things with some small similarities trying to make a non-existent connection. It's not a controversial topic you are just way off base on it.

Tb This is a bit silly, it's not a training ball, and I have never seen anyone that has experience in playing have issues going from another ball to a measles one. You can see what you are doing only after the hit, based on the spin, not before. But you can see what you are doing the same...

The label is just worn, it's 100% Predator. Toss it back, crumbly, dirty chalk, worse than the standard Masters.

When I read the post title, I was expecting a case with some photos or embossed scenes from history. Like Joan of Arc, D Day attack, fall of the Berlin Wall, etc... LOL

Dang, I need to clear my conscious now. Forgive me father Reyes for I have sinned. I took a hamdfull of Master chalks over the years when traveling and I knew if I did not have a good peice with me I would be in some random bar with a sliver of red chalk and nothing else to use. On the...

The players in the 80s, 90s, and 2000s were definitely more varied and interesting in play style. Also note the end of that era was when the Asian and Euro players started to train for playing pool and started to win tournaments playing a more mechanical style. However, if you take the top...

Because it rarely happens, doesn't really require any skill, and is a single shot. I don't think I've ever seen a tournament do that in all my time playing. They either do a break and run pot outside of the tournament, or do an eight on the break bonus during the tournament. I may pay some extra...

8 ball on the snap is best done just during the tournament. If you want to do a separate pot, do a break and run one.
