    Balabushka cues?

    I'd just suggest getting a Schon shaft and put on your Schon, for a production cue it doesn't get much better than that.

    Question on Tip Preference

    Put on the tip that feels the best to you. I like pressed triangles. You'll get as many suggestions as there are people. I would use the same tip on both shafts unless you're using one as a break shaft .

    What's your stance?

    My stance is one that is comfortable that also allows me to align the cue to the shot line, align my vision center and deliver the cue precisely to the cueball in the spot I want it to hit. Perhaps you're overthinking this?

    What cue stroke are you using?

    IN practice i use a pendulum stroke with no elbow drop. IN pressure situations/ game play I will sometimes drop my elbow after contact with the cueball. This is especially noticeable on high speed shots. I teach a pendulum stroke because I believe it is simple to teach and effective with few...

    Athena Cues?

    Specifically made for women? perhaps specifically marketed to women... They are likely designs that the manufacturer and resellers think a majority of women will like. Cues are personal, from design to hit, sound, taper, weight and balance point. Best to do some research of your own by...

    Tidbits from the World 14.1

    Wouldn't it be nice for Danny to snap this tourney off? I'd love to see him win it, if for no other reason that what he's done for the game of 14.1 and for making hats cool again.
