    SVB and Shaw - Great Photo

    Swap that crap for a Redbreast 12 and you’re golden. Now that’s a proper Irish 12...

    MEZZ Ignite Shaft

    It's not as 'harsh' sounding if that makes sense. I think softer hitting is a fair description. the taper feels stronger (sorry didnt measure taper) than the 12.4 revo so even though its 12.2 it doesnt feel whippier and all that. I think the ignite is different enough from the revo and those who...

    Jason Shaw, classless?

    I think the moment when Jayson gave a wry smile when Skylar played the crowd showed that it was all good. Just part of the occasion. There was no ill-feeling in the handshake.

    Mosconi Cup week 2018

    I’m pro-Europe but I’m rooting for the US this year – I want to see the three young ‘uns use this win to boost their self belief and hopefully go on to bigger things. For one, we will have a fiercely competitive mosconi cup in future. But even if for whatever inexplicable reason that they fail...

    Mosconi Cup week 2018

    Great for TV though. Fits the tone of the event as long as it doesn’t get out of hand – referee needs to step in when needed – plus Shaw appreciated that moment as well haha

    these are the moments that define the event. Very unlikely Europe can turn things around...

    Mosconi Cup week 2018

    Just a cultural thing I guess. Basically like an european football crowd; incessant heckling and pressure. The home team has some advantage in this respect and its an accepted practice. Some of the heckling can be quite genius though

    That Chang Jung Lin guy

    A real beast. When I first saw him in 07 playing the Guiness 9 ball tour in asia i could not believe what I was seeing. back then pretty much efren and the pinoy contingent were dominant up to that point and then there was a nine-tournament streak where they all went to the taiwanese. three...

    The REVO is taking over pool

    Some shots are more forgiving on the Revo (can't speak for the cuetec/becue/mezz) – especially for 9-ball/10-ball. Long distance drag shots with side spin for instance, or say having to stun the cue ball across the table with very little angle to work with. Generally more power compared to most...

    is there any significant difference in carbon fiber shafts

    As much as I love cues that have great feedback (and keep up the good work Joey) I have to disagree here. You can tell even from the deadest cue if you hit a ball good or bad if are you practicing right and you pay attention to what you are doing. It just feels f**king...

    And then wait for their CF break cue to completely Annihilate what's left of it as well as spousal goodwill...

    Predator shaft vs Mezz shaft vs ??

    Have seen and heard not so flattering stuff about OB recently as well, including some really unacceptable work coming out of the factory. I own two OB shafts from some time back and they've been really good to me. I'm on Kimmo's side here in the sense that you should be more cautious when it...

    The REVO is taking over pool

    Yeah, it's usually the Indian. But sometimes it might help dramatically; it really depends on the individual's playing. if a player who doesn't know that they're missing because their cue ball is masseing back instead of just purely squirting, the revo may probably fix those 2-3 balls without...

    Predator Cues w/Revos Now Selling For Thousands of $$$ - Why?

    They don't make a full splice sneaky from what I remember. They all have an a-joint. but still great hitters in general. Not too different from the EC-series; what you would expect from a good maple forearm cue. I miss the old ZZ-series sneaky (laminated handle) though. Hard-hitting and looked...

    Predator Cues w/Revos Now Selling For Thousands of $$$ - Why?

    No doubt their tech shafts are good and I appreciate that they have a different take on things as well, but what I meant was more of the fact that they've always have had to play catch up; kinda like smartphone feature wars. They've rarely taken the lead in this sort of thing. With the...

    Ah, I see what you meant by that line now, OK. Yes agree with you completely.

    Predator Cues w/Revos Now Selling For Thousands of $$$ - Why?

    Sorry friend I need to speak up. I can't speak for current Schon (the old ones were really, really good) as I have not seen any of the new ones but sorry I don't think it's a subjective thing to say that overall, Mezz is better made than predator. Hell, even the rubber bumpers are cut perfectly...

    Cue tip contact time

    I see what you mean. I mistakenly thought that it would be faster the moment the user 'throws' it and now I think about it didn't make any sense at all... ah... but could you imagine how quiet a thread like this would be then... :grin:

    Cue tip contact time

    you're right it's not exactly useful to tell a novice about incorporating something like this into their game and I don't think this is really that important either (until it needs to be addressed) at the risk of going off topic t sometimes i find the idea that feeling as though your tip stays...
