That forum in general needs greater policing. Even the endless video shorts of guys with tables in the their backyard are enough to prevent me from partaking. Cyberbullying is an adolescent problem (flame on). Kids can't prevent themselves from wondering what people have to say, good or bad...

You actually misunderstood my point. Mario and Albin play under the same federation and it doesn't appear to effect Mario's stance on the matter. The difference is predator. Who I'm sure has more financial sway with players. I'm not saying it's Predator's doing. Just that it's a more likely...

What about Mario He...? He falls under the same federation as Albin. Just happens not to be sponsored by Predator. I believe it's personal choices being driven by professional gain. You either want to win one of the WPA sanctioned titles, OR believe you can reap greater financial reward by...

I'm riding the fence with this one. I don't blame MR or Filler. MR has a plan in mind and attempted to include Josh. They don't owe Josh anything. Josh on the other hand has made decisions based on what he believes are in his best interest. He does not owe MR anything. As far as whatever...

My point is. Filler is just an example of a great player opting not to compete at the highest stage. Is that a shame..?.., sure. Does it make the pro game unwatchable...?.., not even maybe.

So why are posters stating that Filler has been banned...? I haven't read anything to that effect. This is what is actually wrong with pool and social media for that matter. People running their mouths like they're preaching the gospel. Inflaming a situation to support their narrative...

I'm actually in the "jersey" camp... I'm all for having players look like "players" and not someone who tossed on the best smelling pile found on their floor before hunting for change to pay the bus driver. That said, I do prefer the more reserved options rather than noisy crap some vendors...

Haven't read any of the thread beyond you post, so forgive the repeated suggestion. Only 3 variables should be considered when playing position. How do I get to the next ball What angle do I need on that ball to continue a simple pattern Is there an option to avoid mistakes Now your example...

Yes, there is this... That tiny gain in power transmission has served me well with my wildly over priced breaker.

I hit every CF I come across and none have bettered the Predator Z2 other than the Cuetec 10.5. ...and yes that includes Revo. In theory you'd think the 11.8 Cynergy should be in the discussion as well, being so close in tip size and to be honest, it's a close 2nd. Not that we should, but if...

I actually think the word hype is better suited now then ever before. In the beginning it was marketing smoke and mirrors. These days it the users spreading misinformation about what CF actually offers. While the educated know better, the masses are convinced there's some level of performance...

Some time has gone by since that comment of mine regarding the Z2. Although it's still the lowest production shaft I have personally hit. I don't play with one anymore. ...well generally speaking. I keep that cue in my pool room and play with it rather than putting my competitive player...

Amazing how human beings always try to make the simply things so complicated/

You would have to define what you consider elite. Those with great breaks have nothing to gain other than sponsorship, imo.

Exactly, and I'm no different. Not that I was surrounded by extremely good players when I was cutting my teeth, but the main game was 12ft snooker. Fundamentals are paramount in that game, and what I gleaned during those formative years has stuck with me. That said, and to the point I've been...

100% IMO, a player's already established ability qualifies them for a high dollar break cue. I'd wager the percentage of players that actual gain something from the tech to be quite small. I know many that break harder and maintain their accuracy far better than I. IF they were concerned...

I've learned through the endless babble on this forum that the above is BS. Every poster here lands perfectly on their shot line every time, and if they/you don't you're doing it wrong unless you start all over from a standing position. Of course I do literally everything you posted. However...

Bunk... Countless numbers of incredibly strong players never "benefited" from "professional" instruction.** You need to learn to walk before you can run. A player needs to grasp exceedingly simple concepts like what happens to rudimentary shots when tiny alterations are made. The point in...

Should probably read all the comments.

Interesting... I don't agree with any of the above. Other than the weak breaker shouldn't waste their money. Strong break already = no real benefit (great timing and maintains stroke, get by with house cue) Mediocre break = greatest benefit (Solid controlled contact but lacks power) Weak...
