    Taom Chalk

    I actually switched to Taom from russian magic just because its round. I keep the chalk in my pocket when I play and the smaller round cube seems to come out of my pocket easier than the cubes. I still use Russian magic on my home table because it stays on the rail. I consider it a cost...

    Which Revo for a 25 year 314 player?

    I switched from a Pred 314-3 to the revo 12.4. I didn't really notice too much of a difference in the diameter /taper of the cue. Obviosly the revo hit was much different.

    What is your opinion of Lasik surgery?

    Had lasek done about 18 months ago, as other said, I only wish I had gotten it done much sooner. I am pretty sure I posted my whole experience on here in a different thread. If you search my username you should find it fairly easily since I don't post too often here. EDIT: I'll save you the...

    J Flowers Aspirant Series Cue -- any thoughts?

    I have a few teammates that have the j flowers (konallen) $300 cues and they all play fine. The only problem I have with them is the tip they come with is junk (my opinion) its super hard and doesn't hold chalk well. The CF shaft plays a little softer than most of the other CF shafts I have...

    No glove. corn starch , baby powder or something else?

    I keep this stuff in my case just for emergency usage. Works really really really good. One thing though is to keep it in a double (or triple) bag, the stuff seems to get everywhere if its not contained well. I actually thought of using a food saver bag on mine and just cut open in emergency!

    Gloves?

    I use the predator gloves and change them out every 6 months when they start getting holes in them and the fingers fraying. I tried the really cheap ones and I don't like how slick they are on your palm. It was harder for me to get a solid bridge on the cloth. I also had problem with the...

    Brunswick Brookstone 9'

    i would never pay 2500 for the brookstone. That table is your run of the mill over seas furniture grade table that brunswick put a nameplate on. It will play no where near a GC. For 2500 bucks you can probably find a used GC around somewhere if you just wait, you might have a harder time find...

    how are ya'll doing in league ?

    In our area my master league is once a month on a sunday, starting at 1:30pm. We usually end around 4:30-5:00. But we play two matches against the same team in that time frame. 4 man rosters, 3 play each match. Some teams want to play on 3 tables, so we get done quicker as long as each team has...

    Break cues w/ carbon shafts- why aren't there more?

    The carbon fiber shaft is more than just low deflection. Energy transfer is just as important with a break cue. Lots of players out there do use some side spin when breaking. an example of this is the 2nd ball break in 8 ball to get the cueball to spin off the side rail back into the rack. The...

    DAZN failure

    Yep even with private FR towers / microwave, you are still reliant on power grid and even something like solar flares knocking out the service or lighting strikes on the towers, or a squirrel chewing a cable.

    DAZN failure

    In this day and age anyone who thinks they can build a more reliable system than AWS, Google, Azure are naive. The fact that you think you don't have to rely on any 3rd parties for internet streaming is just wrong. There are lots of moving parts, most of which you have almost no control over...

    DAZN failure

    no way can you come up with something that has a higher uptime / availability thab any of the current major cloud providers. Just your internet connection alone is an extremely weak link. You might have high priority, but amazon has thousand of fiber stands split over multiple tier 1 providers...

    Radial shafts not fitting well on non-predator cues

    The Predator Valour line of cues is a collaboration between the two cue makers. I was going to buy one of them (SL2 specifically) but I wanted the soft leather wrap instead of linen or bare wood.

    Radial shafts not fitting well on non-predator cues

    wow, this thread hits home for me right now..... I fell in love with a jacoby cue and bought it from seyberts on black Friday. I wanted to pair it with a revo radial shaft that I got a good deal on elsewhere (brand new). So my cue was delivered to me yesterday and I was really disappointed...
