Sometimes might have to consider that back heavy cues are slightly less forgiving for some people and a closed bridge would help things a bit

Yes, it can be made with consistency. A quarter- or half-ball hit without side spin; preferably no slow rolls to minimise roll-offs.

I find it easier to keep the cue level with an open bridge. Not to say you can't do it with a closed bridge but it just feels more natural. Closed bridge is more useful to me when i need added stability

Yes, this is the best-known one; basically, like the lucasi of pool tables...

Xing Pai (星牌) literally means Star(s) brand, but I think there's more than one Star brand of billiard tables out there

One member of the Wu Dang Clan down. Hope Wu will go thru tho

he beat feijen i think

you have to hit the cushion first but its almost impossible to aim that precisely. try lining yourself up to shoot it as you would any other shot and then shift ever-so-slightly to hit it thin by literally a hair. practice with center first and get consistent so that it's easier to troubleshoot...

I think a lot of it comes down to what do you consider as having 'adjusted'. I can imagine in your case from what you've stated so far is that your benchmark is near complete understanding of how the cue/cue ball reacts across a variety of speed, spin, cue angle etc, whereas for some of the...

Sadly people do expect that. And in a way, can't blame people for thinking that, seeing how the shafts are marketed. My own personal observation (from a small sample size of 6-7 shafts of each diameter) is that the shafts vary with a small weight range of 5 grams, and they do vary ever so...

He certainly knows which side of his bread is buttered LOL. Will be surprised if the difference between the shafts is going to be that drastic. But with his strong endorsement, Cuetec will no doubt shift quite a few of them despite the complaints about the price. I think part of the misgivings...

hit is subjective and is a very personal thing but I'm pretty sure if you had the time and the opportunity, try the shaft with a variety of butts and there'll be one that hits real good to you. Unfortunately, doesn't necessarily mean that you will play better with it than you do now. this...

It's no different from comparing a 3/8-10 vs 5/16-14. United is a little harder, the wavy has more feedback. Someone brought up the point about the getting a heavier shaft as exceed tends to be even balanced or slightly more back balanced. that is true but you can request for a heavier shaft if...

as mentioned previously and by other posters, u don't go to predator expecting solid hit and good feedback –*you are just setting yourself up for disappointment. If you want to buy a Revo, it will be for the properties that Revo offers – that's your priority, as opposed to the hit and feedback...

Mezz or otherwise, all shafts will be slightly different. Even the carbon fibre REVOs are slightly different from shaft to shaft... i think someone mentioned to keep the weight as close as possible – that goes some way to help but is no guarantee, so you need to manage your expectations. If it...

SW butts are comparatively fatter and stiffer than the average cue butt. More power esp with the fat shafts that the taiwanese favour. If you keep your game simple you can get a lot done without having to spin the shit out of everything by virtue of being able to move the ball over long...

there will be new series of Ace cues coming out nearer to the end of the year, but I dont think those are merry widows. Maniac pointed out the difference in shafts, which i agree u should think about. the wx700 is their baseline low deflection shaft while the alpha is closer to a standard maple...

When u see phenolic or steel its just a thin collar. no full phenolic/steel

Can't comment on SP2 as I have not tried one. The bar for what makes a solid hit and gives good feedback is subjective, but I think it's safe to generalise that most people will enjoy the hit and feedback on the older radial pin Roadlines, then followed by some of the special edition cues made...

On the flip side, it's more challenging to do something like a mild masse shot; but not something that you can't overcome I guess. Because of how the cue ball behaves some things are easier some things are harder. But generally, I think for most people the Revo will make things easier because...
