    highest friction chalk

    IMO magic chalk is the best chalk in the world, I tested many, maybe the second best for me is predator circle chalk and there’s one EU chalk which has a yellow paper but I don’t know it’s name, that is also good. I had a box of magic chalk, I bought it from an AZer forgot his name, if you read...

    should pro tournaments ban the jump cue?

    Yes, 100% ban jump cues, they make the game too easy to get out of trouble, then luck-hook your opponent, then proceed to win the game by sheer-luck getting out of a hook even though the hook afterwards was just pure-luck, because jumping and hitting the ball is easy.

    meucci pro shaft 12.5mm vs Kantana 12.5mm?

    This is a weird story to me, I’ve never ordered a cue from pooldawg and I play with the pro shaft from Meucci, I have maybe 5 or 6 pro shaft because I also order for my friend who keeps his cue at my place. And I got a caliber, all of them are 12.5 mm and one is 12.6mm, the margin of the...

    WWYD - Getting on 2 ball

    Very simple, play the one try to make it full, draw back and take the 2 - 7 combo, since the 2 ball is kinda frozen you need to shoot it into the rail; the 7 ball lays perfect for this, it is close to the pocket and a little bit out, I’d bet a decent player would make this 8 out of 10 times if...

    It amazes me how a tight back hand grip screws things up

    I kind of agree with you but in the opposite way of how you're thinking, the players who use loose grip are those players you're talking about. It is true that players had to practice thousands and thousands of extra hours to overcome a fundamental problem, being having a very light loose grip...

    It amazes me how a tight back hand grip screws things up

    It literally depends on how are you used to shooting shots, very simply put. Philipino's tend to have the edge of their finger tips holding the cue, i.e. very very very light grip, some of them even only hold it with the first two fingers and the rest of their hand is just literally open...

    This cloth color is really good, what you think.

    If you use blue cloth and green chalk, you'd see chalk marks on the table that are green. If you use green cloth and blue chalk, you'd see chalk marks on the table that are blue. Some people match the table color with chalk color so that they dont' see dirt marks, now think about this for a...

    Wanted Meucci White Crusher

    All I need is to be straight, and preferably diameter radius between 0.830 to 0.833 So that it fits my shafts, if you only sell the butt, thats perfect.

    This cloth color is really good, what you think.

    Forgive my ignorance but why do I ask for 860 specifically? is it the one that people usually go for? I know a friend who told me never to go for 860 because it wears off rather quickly, I don't know his resources, but I am also clueless when it comes to table clothes.

    This cloth color is really good, what you think.

    It doesn't have to be bright, thats the point, with this color you can see all balls as bright instead of the cloth, and thats the positive side, balls look clear and bright, cloth is in the background. The current tourny blue is very bright, it overpowers some balls color and it also hides the...

    This cloth color is really good, what you think.

    In past tournaments and most rooms have used classic green and I think it's really good for our game, snooker still uses green. Then pool world moved to a tournament blue, very bright, almost like the 2 ball, I didn't like that change. However I found a new color in a video that was mentioned...

    Crazy ending! What should the ruling be?

    You said corey made a ball and didn't notice it? you think pro's would not notice the corner ball going in? hehe, no my friend, it was just an illegal break, they both very much noticed the 3 ball going in. :) Some tournys use the rule that either 3 balls should be pocketed or go past the...

    I got a brand new 12.9 that I played one rack with and did not like, it is QR uni-lock, let me know if yours is QR uni-lock, maybe we can exchange, just a thought. as I don't know what to do with my 12.9, I really didn't like it. EDIT: mine is like new, how about yours?

    Price for 9' Gold Crown 4?

    I bought a used GC4 not long ago, it was in good condition and the plates were well finished and bright. If you find a closing pool hall thats how you get a cheap one like me, I bought mine for approx $1700 with movement + installation + new cloth + lights too, balls were worn out so I threw...

    Snooker CF

    Nop, they believe in the old stuff, if it works, then why change it, and I kind of agree with them, snooker is doing well in terms of money, not as good as tennis or golf of course, but they're doing well enough, better than pool by miles. If you watch, they still use the green cloth (Classic)...

    which players got/get the most out of a compact stroke?

    Thank you for the compliment. My break is just that I use a different type of stroke if you notice and it works for me. I'll try to work on your suggestion, but to play an 8 hr a day is just pushing it, I got work, studies and a family with kids, so maybe I can squeeze in an hour a day if I...
