Ok.

You want the ultimate, tight pocket game, look no further than Chinese 8 ball. No pool table comes close to the difficulty of those corner pockets. NONE other than blackball, but it doesn't really count, smaller balls and tables, different characteristics.. I like Chinese 8 ball, played it...

Mezz... everything else is second by a long margin. Mezz has the best hit, best quality and consistency and decent value for money even if they are expensive If all you care about is deflection, look no further than Predator. They're the best by far in that aspect. Their cues have lousy value...

What pool fan can honestly say he loves this video? I want to know. I really want to cut down on my swearing, especially when using the English language, and instead work on expanding my vocabulary, to avoid ending up like the stereotypical swearing foreigner. I'm appalled, outraged, almost...

I'd go a step further and say that above, say 650-700 fargo, most players use at least a trace of spin on most of their shots. There are too many reasons to go into in detail, but for the benefit of the OP here are some of the most important: 1. It unlocks the diagonal paths of the pool table...

Well "the way I see it" is the whole point of my post, isn't that the whole reason for posting on a forum such as this? Anyway, putting a high price on something doesn't necessarily make it a higher value to me, in the sense of making it desirable. A pool cue gets a high value in my eyes if it...

The point is that the flexing (or not) of the pool cue doesn't contribute as much to the power as a tennis racket or golf club shaft. I don't have to be empowered to have an opinion. Whatever can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence, as Christopher Hitchens...

But then I've got to ask, what is the point? Why not just buy a Cuetec or a Becue? You're not getting a Black Boar playing experience anyway. You're getting a Becue. To me it would be a little like having a luxury gearstick in your Toyota. It's still a Toyota, Toyotas are great, but the...

Lol, putting a cf shaft on a custom cue? That's just bonkers. Can't wait to see a 10 k black boar with a bargain basement Chinese carbon fiber shaft on it! If the cuemaker finishes it and adapts it to the cue or not is just not the point.:rolleyes: It's fucking sacrilege! In a matter of time...

If you want to try the stroke slip, but can't, try the following: Wrap your fingers around the cue very loosely. Let the entire weight of the cue rest on the middle and ring fingers of your cueing hand. The ring finger is what is going to give your cue speed. The index and thumb just form a...

Yes. There are basically two schools of thought on the grip as pertains to the stroke. The orthodox thing is to close the fingers around the cue as the stroke finishes or keep them more or less in contact throughout. The idea is to control the cue by having contact with it as fully as possible...

Observe! Use CC to get english text:

Currently working on my stroke. I'm using "practise pro" pocket reducers and shooting power draw shots along the rail. Really dials in the precision in the power draw. Cue ball at balkline, Object ball at 2. diamond then first diamond, then hanging in the pocket. Trying to get the cueball back...

I really shouldn't get mad about this stuff, but it kind of pisses me off that all these types are pissing their money away at something that will have no effect on their games, instead of getting some instruction or working on their skills. No shaft, cue or other gimmick is going to put balls...

This guy claiming 3-4 ball runners became great players after buying cf shafts sure does experience the world differently than I do. In my local pool hall, nearly every player has switched and they're all just as good or bad as before. If you can only run 3-4 balls, a cf shaft or indeed any...

I don't like the sound of carbon fiber shafts either, and they are not for me as far as how they play. I disagree with banning them, however. Also, in the snooker world, they have plenty of fads. The newest is titanium ferrules being fitted onto cues who used to have brass, for lower...

I would agree if you're just a bystander, but apparently he was the doorman. It was his job to do what he was doing, and someone thought it would be ok to kill him for doing his duty. Hitting someone in the head, from behind, with a bat, is a pretty surefire way to kill someone or at least...

Your friend is likely practising the wrong things. Here is how you improve at pool, or anything really: 1. Determine the current situation REALISTICALLY. So for your friend the APA 5, he has A LOT of shortcomings in his pool game. The skill level alone tells me this. He needs to figure out what...

That is hard to believe. SL1! I doubt that is the skill ceiling of ANYONE living. Can she make a ball straight into the pocket? She is obviously aiming shots wrong or maybe she is half blind? There is no other way someone is that bad. I once taught a mentally challenged person to play 100%...

IDK...The break is by far the most important shot in 9ball and 8 ball. I mean besides sinking the game winning ball ofc. It sets you up for success or failure, and once you get to a certain skill level, the whole game may be determined by that one shot alone. Good spread, shot on the one, you...
