    greatest rack of 9 ball...

    i agree to a point... it's not like chao's jump shot happens alot. He jump-cut a ball that was on the other side of the table. Even for pros i'm sure this shot is 1~2 out of 10. I've made jump shots of that nature before, trust me for the most part you're just swinging and hoping and every once...

    Balukas or A. Fisher??

    i dont think it'll ever be concretely known if a player from another era could beat a player in today's era because of the obvious, they'd never be able to match up. And even if they were able to, the difference in age would make it almost impossible to match up evenly. It'd be like Luther...

    Scratched on the 8 ball to lose

    on some shots its just impossible not to scratch. if the 8ball was even a hair past the side pocket you will scratch. you just have to gauge it better. if he had a lot of balls left on the table you could've played a safe instead of taking a risky shot.

    Is pool future getting better or worse?

    well i guess i can chime in because im consitered the "next generation". I've only been playing for a few years, and i pretty much know every player in the state. That's not ment to be said in an egotistical way, it's just said to show how small the pool scene is these days. It's funny to me...

    Leather wraps, is everyone going nuts!

    agreed on the lizardskin.. it just looks uncessesary on a poolcue. i prefer linen over leather, but i prefer no wrap over wraps. my last two cues had wraps, and now im back with a no wrap cue, and i have to say i feel a lot more comfortable when im shooting.

    What tip for you? (Not break cue)

    yeah and they have a crosshair on the backside. ive had talismans, tigers, snipers and mooris before during my layered tip phase, and out of that group i still prefer moori. i dont know if its just a personal preference but i prefer regular triangle hard tips to most layered tips with the...

    opinions on this cues please

    ill be honest i dont really like the no points with non circular rings look... they all remind me of those cheap 5280 cues that came out a few years ago. thats all personal preference tho, and i think the black one with the points looks real nice. i dont like the grey one because a solid color...

    Your very first cue...

    my very very first cue was a sneaky pete i bought off some kid for 50 bucks at the college i went to at the time. it had no markings on it, so i had no idea who made the cue or how much it really cost, or how good it hit cuz at the time i played like a retard. it was really light, and it...

    I need a shaft with a firmer hit any suggestions?

    the 314 is perfect for me in terms of flex, the standard 314 shafts are imo the best hitting shafts on the market, and i really prefer having a very firm hit/shaft. i dont like the rest of the layered/lamanated shafts, as the z shafts hit wayy too flexible, the meucci black dots hit like crap...

    Green vs. Blue

    if you're gunna go with any other color than green or blue, you're going to need matching chalks or it's going to make it streaky and different colored chalks make the ferrule off colored to my experiance. i'm a traditionalist, but have played on blue cloth in tournerments and it did seem like i...
