    KO brothers tip review.

    It doesn’t always have to be a big draw shot, what if you need to draw or follow 3" to get shape on the game winning ball and you can't be off by 1/4"? You should not be using draw or follow unless you need to for shape, just because you hit low on the cueball does not make that a draw stroke...

    KO brothers tip review.

    Snap of his wrist and his speed of stroke, I was at SBE one year and they had a radar gun to test break speed, my friend hit 26mph, I tried several times and my best was 14mph, some people have more natural speed of stroke, just like some people can punch faster than others, I believe the...

    KO brothers tip review.

    If the player slows down his stroke so there is no follow through then the tip can contact the cueball with no follow through, that is exactly how I hit the cueball when I was first learning to play, I didn't consciously slow down my stroke but I stopped my stroke at the cueball, thankfully...

    KO brothers tip review.

    That's not considered follow through ....that is the very definition of follow through, you are striking THROUGH the cueball, some may strike through the cueball farther but a good pool stroke requires follow through.

    KO brothers tip review.

    As long as your speed is the same at impact......the ONLY way you can stop your cue at impact with the cueball is to slow it's acceleration BEFORE impact, that's why you need to follow through the ball, the follow through ensures you stroke through the ball not to the ball, that's why you are...

    KO brothers tip review.

    SVB does follow through a couple of inches, he also has a 30mph break speed stroke, speed of stroke is also a big factor.

    KO brothers tip review.

    Once your cue tip contacts the cueball nothing more happens you can influence....true, however if the momentum of your swing stops at contact with the cueball then you are not driving through the ball, just like a golf swing, youtube Mike Massey draw shots, he could draw the cueball 2 table...

    KO brothers tip review.

    If you hit the cueball at the same spot and same speed but you don't follow through you will not be able to get follow or draw on the cueball, imagine hitting a baseball and stopping your swing at home plate, that's what it is like if don't follow through with your stroke, to make it even...

    Wood over CF shaft options

    Just like all wood shafts are not the same, all CF shafts are not created equal, Becue makes different kinds of CF shafts that are designed for different players preferences for feel, check out their technology page, great cues and shafts.

    KO brothers tip review.

    I use the TAOM V10 chalk, I'm starting my second year with this one piece of chalk, I have my own table and practice a minimum of 1hr a day, it will last me at least another year if not more, does it grip better? Nope, but it is WAY cleaner so in the grand scheme of things I'm wasting about 25...

    Cue Tip Compression

    I spent a a self induced month of hitting the cueball center ball only, I allowed myself to use draw and follow but no sidespin, I was shocked at how much you can move the cueball around without using sidespin, it also taught me to rely more on natural angles, as pool players sometimes we are...

    Cue Tip Compression

    It feels like a hard tip, what is really different is the chalk retention, it holds chalk better than any tip of any hardness I have ever used, a lot of people believe a hard tip will not allow you to use extreme English, this is false, I have no problem using extreme English, the real problem...

    Cue Tip Compression

    Tips don't create draw, your stroke does, I used medium or softer tips for a long time, I was using a Kamui Athlete tip and was happy with the tip, there technology is the tip is harder at the center and softer on the edges and designed for CF shafts, the TAOM FUSION was also designed for CF...

    Cue Tip Compression

    I don't think you will be disappointed, I have tried at least 10 different tips before settling on the Recoil tip, I didn't just put on a tip and cut it off a day later, even tips I didn't like as soon as they were installed, I would give them at least 2 months or more, if you are looking for a...

    Cue Tip Compression

    Just getting back into pool about 3 years ago so much has changed, I swore I would never buy a CF shaft, I didn't lie....sorta....I own a complete CF cue made by Becue, I love the way the cue plays so much I wondered if someone would invent a rubber tip or something like it, I learned that a...

    NEW Bulletproof Synthetic Playing Tips.

    Been using the same tip since March of this year, I'm using the green tip, the best tool I've found for roughing up the tip is the Sandman shaper, got mine from Pool Dawg, just drag the tool across the tip with no pressure while spinning the shaft with your hand for 15 to 30 seconds, takes...

    Slow play by pros

    4 1/2" for amateurs 4 1/4" for pro matches will speed up the game and lead to less long safety battles, a little wider face openings wouldn't hurt either,

    Best All-Around Production Cue for ~$1000 (Value, Playability, Durability, Support)?

    There is only one thing you control in every billiard game, that is your ability to stroke the cue ball in a straight line, as Dr Dave has shown with high speed cameras, the tip of your cue only contacts the cue ball for hundreds of a second, so no matter what game you play you need a cue that...

    Best All-Around Production Cue for ~$1000 (Value, Playability, Durability, Support)?

    I was just getting back into pool and saw your reviews of Becue, it's one of the reasons I bought one, bought the new Prime II shaft and couldn't be happier with how it plays, put a Bulletproof Recoil hard tip, holds chalk like no tip I have ever used, I appreciate your reviews, Becue is not as...
