Haven't heard anything about a carbon fiber shaft except for the one that comes with the upcoming Airdrive jump cue

imho SVB is like Earl Mark II. Definitely assured of legend status, but still some way off GOAT I think SVB needs to venture out into the other disciplines and gain a reputation for being a great all-round player before GOAT comes into the picture. just an opinion tho. To me at least, the...

I think death grip means different things to different people. But I don’t think there’s anything wrong in holding the cue firmly and loosening up only as much as necessary depending on the requirements of the shot.

Yes I agree a lower front end mass is what makes the tech work. However, in my case the entire cue/cues flexes so much and the tip spends quite a bit of time on the ball so the deflection isn’t as low as one would expect on paper at least – actually, it feels like I’m playing with a Z shaft. I...

In my experience my 12.4 actually deflects more than my 12.9 – at least for my setup. I’m still looking for a butt + tip combo that makes it behave a little more like my 12.9 though. But then again I’m quite comfortable with how it deflects, so I may end up not doing anything. That being said...

You can more or less request for any shaft; if you’re asking if you can buy the EX Pro on its own then yes you can

That’s their style – an ‘even’ balance cue. If you prefer a forward balance I believe you can specify in your order

Aside from choice woods, (and intricate workmanship on the fancy models) the playability of an exceed is generally better. While it’s laughable to describe a subjective quality as as such (since its dependent on your stroke as well), but the weight distribution on all exceeds that i’ve tried...

I'm not sure about Becue, but Revo shafts do vary from one piece to another. They do behave slightly different (in the context of being used on a cue), just like maple shafts of the same make (e.g. 314, OB Pro, Wx700, etc). Is it an issue of weight or whatever? Sorry, I can't answer that...

Even synthetic stuff like the carbon fibre Revo shafts will have some noticeable variation. Wood just varies too much. Some cuemakers narrow the variance between cues by design or by judiciously selecting materials to spec, for example, but generally, it's not realistic to have two cues play the...

This is so on point. As Brian rightly pointed out, whether such comments are offensive or not is irrelevant. There are expectations when it comes to behaviour from networks like CNN. Expectations from the public about how athletes should behave. Can you imagine the uproar if an NFL or NBA...

He can’t make the team suddenly play better as everyone agrees there are deep set problems that will require plenty of fixing. What he can do is change the culture, instill good habits, a new way of thinking and set wheels for change in motion. So you’re looking at progress over the next couple...

that's part of fundamentals too. they arent precise enough to counter effectively. they may know what to do but the success rate isnt quite there yet. the europeans generally dont play complex, efren-level stuff. they're mostly simple, repeatable 'set plays'.

Missed watching you play this year. hope you'll be back for the next one

She's a spitter. Just have to accept she doesnt swallow easy and play your cards right. I would think that pros would not take these things for granted and assess what shots the pockets will accept. As much as the players at the MC have our sympathies, at some point we have to stop blaming...

The MC committee should enforce some ground rules for etiquette if need be but that said, we should not crucify a young kid who is clearly relishing the privilege of playing in the mosconi cup and justifying his place with some fine performances. Instead of "you should go shake the other dude's...

He missed it by quite a fair bit actually. He could have chosen a simpler way to shoot the 8 though if he was really feeling the pressure. It’s not the hardest shot in the world but it’s not one you’ll enjoy having to make under these circumstances. Very unforgiving angle if u choke. And...

Agreed. All boils down to this. The US threw away far too many racks. The Europeans do make mistakes but not that many when it comes to key shots

In recent years the US can't seem to get to grips with the style and atmosphere of the Mosconi Cup and the pressure to break the duck can't be helpful either. If anything Europe has proven that you don't need the best players to succeed. The players with the right mentality to cope with the...
