    How many still have the first cue they ever bought?

    I wish.. I tend to sell things I don’t use and I didn’t want to be tempted to go back to playing with something as soon as I have a bad so I sell them. 3 cues I wish I wouldn’t have sold. 1) my first McDermott . Blue with a baby blue wrap. Crazy enough I still have the plastic sleeve that says...

    Breaking - Carbon v’s Wood

    I’m anal so if I didn’t buy it and it doesn’t match it would bother the hell out of me.. luckily $800 doesn’t mean much to me but I try to save anyone else from wasting their money. Sometimes I think all break cues are over rated. The tip came off my bk3 and I was breaking with a player sneaky...

    Breaking - Carbon v’s Wood

    When it comes to breaking meh.. I replaced my bk3 and air with bk rush and air rush. The air rush jump cue is amazing compared to the air. The bk rush I find is no batter at all then my bk3. Honestly it might be the biggest waste of money I’ve had in pool in 35 years of playing.

    Tipping tournament directors - do you tip on calcutta amount as well?

    Fargo Starter Rating Affecting “True” Average?

    APA tells you that you will fluctuate a lot in the first 10 weeks. I came in as a 7 .. was an 8 after a week… then played the entire session beating everyone until finally becoming a 9. I just started playing in the Uspal league that goes by Fargo. Before that I only had an acs league that...

    Arimith Super Pro pool balls

    I showed up to pool leagues one night and the balls had no wax on them. The bartender wanted to clean them so they ran them through the dishwasher 😂 so sometimes you can blame the equipment because trust me when I say if you never played with balls with 0 wax you don’t want to .. completely...

    Why do players seem to want the same cue, tip, and specs that their favorite player uses?

    Because they don’t understand the game.. I don’t care what anyone uses. We are all different. You have to find what feels good to you so you have confidence and play well. They have this thought process that if svb uses it they should and thats very flawed thinking imo. It’s as I’ve said...

    Rasson Table owners? any regrets?

    So people are saying this but there really isn’t anything to set up if you buy 1 piece slate. Mine went in my garage but they come already covered and put together.. It was on it’s side on the cart. They bolt the legs on then tilt it over so it’s standing. Put it right where I had it marked that...

    Do old Meucci cues play better than the new Meucci’s?

    I guess it depends on how big the target is because they sure aren’t going to be accurate with it. Lol
