I use layered tips on my cues because I am very sensitive on how my tip hits for some reason. When I have to change tips I like the consistency that layered tips provide. When I used to use triangles and Le Pro's I would put 3 or 4 tips on before I found one that played the same as my old tip...

I would go with simmonis 860, only for the fact that is what all other clothes are measured against, so you know how any other cloth will play because it is compared against the "gold standard". A perfect example is right there in this thread with lots of people stating Andy 988 plays faster...

You have to learn to spin the ball if you want to be good. Its great to be able to TRY and play to be able to play on the center of the cue ball for every shot, but that is unrealistic in the real world. But you need to learn the basics of shotmaking before you start spinning, so instructors...

My experience switching to a CF shaft wasn't so much about aim, but about cue ball control (speed) and my new ability to get a lot more action off the cue ball with softer hit. It took me a few months to really get a good feel for it. I was never really a hard hitter, so deflection wasn't as...

I think the extension should be automatic. The only warning bell should sound with 10 seconds left after the player already used their extension. I think the shot after the opening break should be a 60 second clock and the first shot when coming to the table should be 45 seconds (this gives...

newer players will improve more quickly with a carbon fiber shaft due to less (smaller) adjustments needed when they start learning how to utilize spin. The energy transfer will also help them because they won't need to hit the ball as hard to get the same action. For someone who has been...

Your poll is missing the Cue-Tech Cynergy, which in production numbers is either the #1 or #2 shaft out there.

Not sure which joint you have, but I have this problem on occasion with my Uni-Loc cue joint (predator). I can tell when its coming loose because of the sound the cue makes when I hit a ball. I try and get in the habbit of giving it a quick cinch up on the first shot of every rack.

$250 ??? those sets go for almost $400 dollars new...... I won't buy a set either, that purple 5 ball really annoys me.

everyone wants to win, however to some people there is more than just winning. It could be seeing old friends, trying to place higher than previous years, wanting to play the best people out there and the list goes on and on and on.

My hands are smaller and i feel more comfortable with the slightly thinner shaft. I tried them both before i bought mine. I was curious about the 11.8 since it came out, but I hate conical taper shafts.

my teammate has one and it hits pretty good and seems to be well made. I will say the hit is defiantly different than all the other carbon fiber shafts I have tried. Its more of a soft muted hit. Not saying that is bad, just different. Some people may like that aspect. I guess I can say one bad...

Very sad to hear this. Had a great lesson with him about a 8 months ago. Learned a lot!

I must have gotten lucky then. I am able to view that channel without having to subscribe to the sports package.

I have the ultimate package, 1 step below premier. Its funny looking at DTV's guide on their website and it says its only available for premeir, but I get the channel and I don't have premier. It may be included in the sports extra package that you can get (I don't have it).

Sorry if this has been posted before, but I just got direct tv installed and I was guide surfing last night and found billiards listed on Next Level Sports Channel (623) and it was showing some CSI straight pool matches. Last night had Billy Thorpe playing Warren Kiamco. Also had some upcoming...

you're correct, I had it in my head that in that third game each player had some misses (play A 2 misses , player B 1 miss) . Still quite a very rare occurrence.

Wow, you would think that the computer would do some simple data validation when its entered into the system. A little warning box asking "are you sure you meant 1 inning?" This is programming 101....... I am not even sure its possible to only have 1 inning with a 5 -2 score ..... I guess its...

When your a new player your skill ranking can move all over the place pretty easily. I have seen people start as a 3 (everyone pretty much does), move to a 6 the next week, then move to a 4 the following week. stay there for a few weeks then move back to a 3 and then ultimatly end up as a 5 all...

I am pretty sure their formula has changed since that court case left some of their information out of the bag. With advances in computer / machine learning I am 99% sure their formula is more adaptive than just calculating raw data. At a minimum the formula would be doing some predictive...
