Honestly it was all personal preference there is nothing design wrong with any of the shafts I tried. I will say the I2 shaft that came with my cue was the one I disliked most. It felt very whippy and for some reason I kept miscuing constantly when using any top(follow) on the cueball. I am...

I have one of the H series cues with the variable balance point and really like it. The reason I went with this cue was because my old cue was long in the tooth and the finish was wearing off (purchased it in the mid 90's). Last november I decided instead of putting 200 - 30 dollars getting my...

The APA doesn't charge by the game. They have a weekly team fee that each team in the league must pay (as a team). The fee (at least around here) is $40 dollars per team to participate. Usually that works well that each player who plays contributes 8 dollars for the game they play. So 5 games...

The way my team does this is that the 2nd game is split between all the players. That way one player doesn't get stuck with the extra match fee.

I thought this was going to be a post about one of my local bars. I'll get a picture of it when things open back up. But anyways, this bar has two old valley tables and has 2 or 3 five gallon buckets filled with beat up house cues, plus another whole bunch leaning in the corners. I would...

If you want a ball return get the pro am. If you want drop pockets get the Pro.

I don't think the problem is that predator doesn't care, its all about marketing something that can be subjective depending on testing conditions. If predator comes out and says that the revo has .5" of deflection, another manufacture will vary the test varibles a little bit (say hitting...

The word I heard is that the walls of the 12.9 are thinner due to the taper so the end mass is actually less than what it is in the 12.4.

search for a tailors chalk pencil. You would have the best of both worlds.

That is what I thought at first, but when you watch the video he shows a level cue and then raises it and scolds the viewer on using the level cue.

He doesn't do a good job of explaining why, he only says a level cue is a myth and that ALL shots in pool require a slight downward angle. He takes is a step further and says all those instructors who are teaching a level cue are wrong. If you fast forward to around the 19 min mark of the...

I been watching some instructional videos on my lunch breaks the past few days and I came across Mike Sigel's "Play perfect pool disc 1". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mrcyT0d4RA The video is almost entirely about getting the perfect stroke. Throughout the video he stressed the importance...

I have heard some people say that some people did found that the 12.9 shaft actually had less deflection than the 12.4 when they did some testing.

I would start looking at the Aramith premiums ($165)(not the premiers) and any set from Aramith above the price point of the Premiums. Any of them sets will be fairly easy on your cloth because of the better phenolic resins they use for them. Also any of the cylcops sets that you can find will...

not sure if this is correct way or not, but those little touch shots like that I really shorten my bridge length to just an inch or two.

Awesome info everyone. I really appreciate it. I am going to try and make some changes this weekend and early next week depending on my work schedule.

So I been spending my Covid time trying to get better fundamentals in my game. I had extremely poor fundamentals when I started to get serious about improving in February of this year. I feel I made significant improvements even though I miss a ton of shots I wouldn't normally miss, I figure...

That isn't the SVB -vs- Corey match.

I played with a kamui soft for awhile and switched to the clear. I hated it. It might be a mental thing with me but it just felt very "pingy or clicky". I am very sensitive to light and the clear disc seemed to reflect a lot of light that really bugged me when down on some shots. I ended up...

if anyone has another link, please share as I would love to watch this.
