I bought the cheap amazon gloves. 10 pairs for 10 dollars. They basically felt just like the sir joseph gloves. I never did like gloves but I really tried to like them this time around. Putting them on religiously for the past 3-4 months. I finally gave up. I started playing without a glove...

I did notice the matte finish on the air rush but I haven't had a chance to hold one. I don't really get sweaty hands if that is any factor. And I don't remember any matte finish on the Air II. My thought was I could just get the Longoni X Grip Latex Pro wrap if I was unhappy with wrapless...

I agree with you. I've also thought about the process of applying chalk to a leather tip... And wondered why these layered tips aren't just impregnated with chalk. Not to take the place of chalk, but just a little chalk baked in to the leather for added security. Similar to those Soaps with...

I found it on Audible. There are also free copies lying around the web. Just started the audio book, sounds like exactly what I need so far...Mental aspect... maybe that is all I am missing. Thanks to @DeeDeeCues for recommending it. I'm not sure what that video tape is of but I will look...

During practice: I keep my arm still and swing my forearm back and forth from a hinged elbow. My wrist also naturally moves to keep the pool cue connected to the bridge hand. When I think about this motion during a shot - most notably, how my arm creases against my bicep and ending position of...

I am looking for my first jump cue. I was thinking of buying the wrapless. I have tried the Air II wrapless a couple times and had no issues with it. But I am having second thoughts that maybe that rubber wrap will aid in those quick sharp jabs at the cue ball? But I do know that rubber is...

Yea, your friends karma might be in question now. But it's a "Yard Sale" I believe the way you conduct a proper yard sale is to take stuff from inside your house and put it outside. Usually you find a lot of bargains because people are just trying to get rid of stuff without all the stress of...

Maybe the old man liked your friend. Did he try to get your friend in the house first? Are you sure your friend did NOT skip the part where he went in this old mans house?

Kielwood does sound very interesting. Does it still feel like normal maple wood on open and closed bridges - on your skin?

How did ya'll get such nice sticks as your first stick? I though most people started cheap, but maybe I'm a minority. My first 3 pool cues or so were from Walmart or Dicks. Me and my friends didn't know squat about pool cue brands. We just looked for a decent design or our favorite color. Do...

I was wondering if we should expect any father's day discounts at any retailers this weekend in the USA? Maybe something like Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

I can't find a lot of information on the new Predator Centro or the Vantage shaft. But I did find a mention of the Vantage being lower deflection than the 314-3. I think the Z-3 is at the top for least deflection but I don't think I want a tip smaller then 12.4mm. I am also wondering if the...

How long ago was the last tourney?

It might be ok as long as he uses the chalk to draw a line above the rail ONLY on the cloth, and then move the cube of chalk itself. I believe the rule is only if you use the CUBE of chalk as the marker. If both the chalk and cloth are blue this may not be very helpful. I think this is why they...

This is exactly what I was thinking. But many people here are saying that I will pay in the long run for these "micro adjustments" or never increase skill So since opening up this thread, I have started going through all the advice. I noticed that if I routinely make sure that my right foot...

I keep hearing people saying "well balanced cue". What does that even mean? No removable weight bolts inside the cue? or is it where the balance point is on a 58" cue? Maybe 25.5 inches from the butt of a 58" cue?

I really like this Idea! 2-3oz. 4 inches is a bit long though. Are there any other options or brand choices? Of course I can do the leg work, was just wondering if you knew off hand?

I don't really want to spend $2500. So, unless there exists a weighted Revo shaft.... I guess the best option is putting weight in the butt instead of an extension?

The 3 inch predator extension sounds like a good option. But I'm not a tall guy. I would put it on my P3 + Revo. My grip hand is already pretty far up on the leather wrap. I don't think I can grab the cue farther back, because if I do I am going to really be feeling that pro-tapper. Which...

Right now I use a 19oz break cue and an 18oz playing cue. I am thinking of adding 2oz to my playing cue to make my playing cue a total of 20oz. I feel like that should help me develop a more stable stroke. I was wondering if anyone sees any potential problems with this change? or maybe I...
