I had a pad come loose in my polished causing the 9ball in a Centennial set to get fubared. That was $35 to replace ten years ago iirc. I think this orange pair has been out for a year now though.

Jump cues are worth it. Name brand jump cues are not. Ask to try what your friends are using and choose one you like. I've tried many and they don't need to be expensive to be good. The one I use was under $100 shipped and I'll play $horse$ with jump cues against anyone on this forum. I have the...

Thank you. This is helpful info.

I'm simply looking for something I can practice on that will prepare me better for the local tourneys. I cannot get myself to trade down from a 9 footer in my home to a bar box, so I thought I'd put one in the shop. I can practice on it while the machines are running. There is a pool hall with...

Is there another 7' table that can be converted to play similar to a diamond? My 9' Diamond ProAm plays a lot like the gold crowns I have owned, it's not on another level or anything. I am mostly concerned with rebound and speed being as close to that of a diamond as possible.

The room I have in my shop if not large enough for a big table and not clean enough for me to put an expensive table in it. A Valley is a low-investment little table I hope to use to get accustomed to the speed and rebound of the smaller Diamonds used around here. Maybe in a year or so I can...

Thank you. A buddy of mine changed his over to the Ridgebacks. Are they about the same as Penguin? If I pick up a Valley, I will grab the Penguins. I watched RKC's video about installing the cloth. I've done a 9' his way but the Valley is a bit different with the rail nose height etc. Did you...

Thank you for your time and detailed response. Since I play 99% of my pool on a 9' ProAm, I find myself feeling almost claustrophobic on the Diamond bar box. The rails seems faster and play shorter that that to which I am accustomed. I am mainly interested in the same tight pockets, speed, and...

I know this is an older thread but I have questions. I moved to TN recently and EVERYTHING is bar box. I have a 9' ProAm in my home but want to pick up a 7 footer to put in my shop so I can practice on similar equipment the local tourneys use. It will be in a separate room than the machines...

Wish I could watch the Soufi match. He's fun to watch.

Came here to ask the same question. He was known for making great shafts but I don't recall any significance to his full cues.

To clarify, fans in the UK have to pay an extra fee monthly to have Skysports?

I've hated that kid since the first time I saw him pounding his concave, defenseless chest and pumping his little fists after a win. Since then, he has matured and become more professional while I have grown wiser and remember how cocky I was as a young buck. I am now able to appreciate his...

I wonder if this applies to everyone. Currently they televise the matches on SkySports so Euros get it basically free. Many of us have ways to stream SjkySports and are immune to being extorted by DAZN and its hit-or-miss, overpriced streaming. If it isn't on SkySports in the future, I wonder if...

I listen to much angrier metal but I just turned this on and find it relaxing. I'll have to add it to my relax playlist.

Who Cares was my guess... Haven't heard water closet since the movie Tin Cup

At least you gave it a go.

"My understanding is that they are used by machinists to achieve very precise blows." This is untrue. We use them to seat a workpiece in a vise without having the hammer rebound into our foreheads. Mechanics use them for the same reason. There in no added level of precision to a dead blow hammer.

Well said.

I think Gar started a thread about them a few months ago. Info should still be useful. I purchased the Komet break cue and think it hits just fine. Switched the tip to a Taom. Better than the stock tip imo.
