....and to tell you, gopi, you are one fine Pinoy source of information! It's that Spainiard blood in us about billiards!! ;):D

Is that what it was called, John? Because that was incredibly 2 o'clock, with 1 1/2 English, hitting it with hard - very hard stroke. That's Magician Bata for ya! :cool:

But, of course like WesleyW said it himself, you will definately get what you payed for. (Referring to WesleyW) Hey man, I thought all along that you were from the US!! That is quite the unpleasant surprise. Heard of Martin Van Rhee before? He's some killer artistic carom player I tell you!

Are you in France right now? If you are willing to, perhaps, go over to their distribution and try out their cues. Otherwise, I would go with two affordable costing cues that will leave you with extra euros so that you and your papa can as well spend time buying other necessities or billiard...

What is on your budget, Hernan? I say: Give it a go and buy the Ceuleman's carom cue for you and your jefe. As far as taxes returning back to the US, that is for you to do the research because I am not too sure if they apply taxes for cues.

Which AZer would I like to play! Tanner Pruess & Jude Rosenstock :) Win or Lose

Two things I can only tell you, Wesley man. 1) Back-Hand English to create swerve. 2) start hitting all your shots soft to compensate the squirt if you're gonna move your cue to it's specific English. Works for me... might not be so for the others :cool: . Masse shots: I use squirt most of...

:( Ohh boy, just beat me to a pulp till I burst out candy :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :(

.......curve...... for instance: hit the cueball with center first, then (without moving your bridge) pivot the cue to either left or right. Say you moved your tip to the right (one tip) and you hit it with moderate speed. What will happen is that when you stroke the shot, it will move to the...

Swerve (and deflection) is important--no doubt. Without it, we couldn't configure our masse shots. My recommendation is: if you want to play with a non-deflective shaft, stick with a Predator Z^2 (as you may have heard this gagillion times :) ) but if you would perfer a consistant shaft, go...

What I think about deflection (squirt) and curve ("swerve") Forget about those concepts. Get used to both of them because it will be to your advantage. First of all, try to stay away from the thick, "nappy" slow cloth that you play on either the coin-op "bar" tables or what-have-you. The reason...

So does this mean that I could have your Dieckman Masse Cue? :)

Say Inzombiac, If you're so fascinated by billiards, why don't you: a) get into a pool table repairman business b) get into a cue making/cue repair business c) go around the world and look for different forms of games (and write an elaborated jornal about it d) or just consider going pro (and...

Skateboarding shoes... nuff said. They're flat and they provide durability. :) I wear them and they're confortable.

That's funny that Mariano is saying this because De Luna has been in this spot before and lost once again to Stepanov (10-4). Van Boening is a first timer in the WPC, so he's "tasting blood". I read this whole blog and from what I noticed is that Mariano just relies on the hard "luck shots" and...

They look like Memorex to me! :D I would love to be the master of that rack!

Well in your case, why doesn't he start from the ground up just like all of us? "Money Talks... blah blah blah.." That's a bunch of bull poopy! Money will only get you your accessories but it will never get you "Efren Reyes (Earl Strickland or whathaveyou) style" of play... NEVER. Let's dump...

What is most suprising is that the things he said about the break and Jump cues are a complete condradiction to which he uses to his advantage. If Earl can keep up with how the young bloods are accustomed to do and if his attitude is in complete check (like ICON of SIN mentioned), then I believe...

Take up 3-Cushion Billiards (Carom Cafe), go to the Carom Billiards portion of the forum and get some juicy advice from Mr. Jewett. :)

That, Eric, is very true! It is usually when there is nappy (fluffy, thick) cloth is when jump shots are usually more effective whereas simonis is quite thin and hard to hop. When you hit a jump shot, it creates a tiny divit which makes the ball have that hop. Skill is much more required to...
