I was able to get the ball off the table with the Hanshew, just felt like it took more effort.

My honest opinion at the end of the day was I didn't like it. It was great to dart jump with, like really good, unfortunately that's not how I usually jump. Jumping under my arm I found it difficult to get the ball off the table. So I ended up selling it and ordering another Lomax, which I had...

I've only tried many cuemakers cues, never owned any really except a Lomax jumper lol. The best hitting so far out of what I've tried were a Scruggs and Diveney sneaky pete.

Thank you, I was confused.

I found it. https://www.billiards.com/article/bca-general-rules-of-pocket-billiards-p3 #37 on here explains it.

I don't have a rule about it. I assumed that a frozen ball was considered part of the rail, but I'm reading perhaps that the rail is considered as 'dead'. I'm not sure this means the rail is out of play?

I'm confused how this is a foul? My assumption was, when a ball is frozen to rail it is considered part of the rail? Meaning when the original object ball hits the 2nd object ball, is the 2nd object ball not considered part of the rail? This is the first rule question I'm truly puzzled by.

I also started on an 8 ft table. But now personally I would go with a 7 ft or 9 ft if I had to choose one. Mostly because I don't think most places have tournaments on 8 footers, at least not here in Utah.

Mezz has a sale going on their EC7 Series. Can get a cue with a WX700 shaft for like $380 brand new.

I like this idea as well, Mezz makes great hitting cues.

I'd be happy to help. A lot of good stuff in the for sale, just be sure the seller is reputable.

Plain Jane is the same as a merry widow. Solid wood with either a wrap or no wrap. No points or inlays, most of the fanciness is from ringwork if it's fancy at all. Sneaky Pete is a cue that looks like a house cue, but has a joint on it. Also I've heard Cogs are nice cues, but I've never hit...

Scruggs makes a great cue, Bob Frey's also play similar I've heard, he worked with Tim Scruggs. I personally like Schon for mass produced, I use a carbon shaft on mine. At $1500 there is a lot of good cuemakers who will build something for that amount.

Think for the most part Scruggs have held their value if not gone up because they play great and him passing away.

You'll get a hundred different answers. Some say custom some will say mass produced. Do you like solid maple or a more low deflection shaft?

I haven't ever wanted a gambler cue until this one. Amazing work and attention to detail.

Yeah the last two pictures are of your coco and flame veneer cue.

Thanks for the suggestions. Felt the Zan M and in my opinion it's great, I'll stick with that.

Yeah, to me it just felt dead when I hit with it. Probably the vibration dampening.

I am also curious about this, I like everything I've tried from Samsara and am interested to hear how the PowerBreak G compares to them, I love my Mezz Kai.
