    Chalkmagnet Review

    you can get those neodymium magnets pretty cheap on amazon. Couldn't you just use some hot glue on the bottom of a cue of chalk to place the magnet? you could even move the magnet to a new piece of chalk by just reheating. I have used the hot glue with stuff that pulls a lot harder than this...

    Tip Sizes Compared

    I like smaller tip sizes around 12 - 12.5MM because I have small hands and it makes closed bridges easier for me.

    New Aramith Black ball set . Thoughts?

    I liked them at first glance, but as soon as I saw them being played I absolutely hated them. Watching the streams for the mosconi cup I couldn't tell the balls apart, which is what the whole change in colors was supposed to resolve. The new colors just made it worse.

    Cleaning the balls

    Clean and polish, no way -- too much time wasted. Wipe them down quick with a microfiber towel to get chalk marks / etc off the balls, sure.

    Had Tri Cup tournament this past weekend, was a LOT of fun and other than college leagues, it was the first time I ever played matches for something that actually mattered.

    Big Question - Do you break with your main playing cue or not

    Since I play with a soft tip I do not break with my playing cue. When I used to use a hard water buffalo tip I did break with my playing cue. I also found I break better with a heavier break cue (24oz) and my playing cue is 18.5oz.

    who have you played

    The two best players I have played (if you want to call it that) Jim Rempe and Dave Daya (both back in the late 90's) Didn't stand a chance with either of those, but it was fun and a good learning experience.

    How many cues? Why so many?

    Well technically I own about 14 cues, however most of them are just house cues for people to use. I got an old Viking from the early 90's that was my playing cue until this year. I got an old severely warped J&J that was my first cue ever so I have not got rid of it yet. I got a POS jump cue...

I learned to take my time and finished strong at the end winning 3 of 4. started...
