    Lucasi Pro line

    Yup. I've never had issues with uniloc going together, staying together, or coming apart. When I clean mine (q-tip and iso), I also take a bit of wax to the threads and pin just to help it out a bit. I just use a stick I made from some bike chain wax. Enough to keep the joint nice and smooth.

    Is Josh Filler the World's Best Pool Player?

    I love the improvement mentality in Europe and Asia. I've seen several groups that meet up for a week or more at a time to practice together. It's a fight to get to the top and stay there and everyone benefits from it -- especially us fans. Other great examples: Kristina Tkach and Pia Filler...

    Is Josh Filler the World's Best Pool Player?

    I don't think anyone is consistently beating Filler right now. The dude is just rolling: everything is going his way and he's been making the game look really easy. Is this level sustainable? I dunno, we'll see. That said: SVB, Gorst, FSR, plus a few others are capable of the same thing when...

    Your 1st Cue, 30 Years Later

    First was a Players. Don't remember the model, but it was one of these: Solid cue, but eventually traded it for a J&J Jump/Break. First good cue was a Predator SP 4-point I bought in 2010. The cheapest Predator I could get with a 314 and wrap. I'll never part with it and still play with it...

    Get off my lawn, Things I hate in pool today

    There's loads of middle eastern and Indian immigrants in MN and I see them ah the fine in the pool hall. Rambunctious, but generally very polite. It's the dude bros and crotchety old guys that have only played in bars I need to watch out for. They're the ones that loiter between the tables or...

    Vegas Mixed Dubs

    Yeah, Denis looked worse than Albin and that's saying a lot. Some of these players forget how to control the cue ball as soon as they have a partner... Yeah, Chou/Chang are really good. Han/Wu is a very strong team as is Fisher/Kazakis.

    Incredible banks performance by Billy Thorpe yesterday - 11 in a row

    Loved Sky's reaction. Just chuckling in his chair. He was ready to start tossing balls on the table to keep Billy going too. :LOL:

    Vegas Mixed Dubs

    Alex and Kelly are such a fantastic pairing. They complement each other so well. So much fun to watch and both are obviously having a good time. Jasmin just can't find a partner that'll pull their weight. Albin for some reason plays terrible in doubles and Denis didn't look good either... The...

    Vegas Mixed Dubs

    Based on all the dubs matches I've watched its often the guys leaving their partner hooked or with terrible shape. Can't take the pressure of a woman expecting you to do your job? (cough, Albin...)

    Get off my lawn, Things I hate in pool today

    The hardest part of using the jump cue is knowing when to NOT use the jump cue. My coach in college would yell at me all the time for leaning on the short stick. Would spend entire sessions giving me shit cueing so I'd learn to use the cushions. Jump cues are just part of the game. They're...

    Predator Las Vegas Mens Open

    +1 after the match when Sky told him to keep going. :ROFLMAO: That was amazing to watch. Man, I suck at this game...

    Oh noooooo, its a 'Polar Vortex'!!!!!.....;)

    I'm waiting for the MN DNR to order ice houses off the lakes. The deadlines for "permanent" houses are 3/3 and 3/17. After that you can't leave them overnight. Easy to find a thin spot when it's been this warm and sunny. Will start hearing about vehicles falling through soon... I'm terrified of...

    Vegas Mixed Dubs

    I hope I'm not alone in this, but I absolutely love mixed dubs. It's fun to watch and it looks like the pros are having a good time too (also one of my favorite ways to play friendlies). Just finished the Chou/Chang v. Zlateva/Gomez match and it was a clinic in playing doubles. The game score...

    Oh noooooo, its a 'Polar Vortex'!!!!!.....;)

    Had one of those at Elbow Lake in Northern MN. -34F air temp. Took us 2 hours to get all the sleds started. I made it 6 miles across the lake and went back to the resort. Only had my light helmet/goggles with me. Still got mild frost nip on my cheek bones from a tiny bit of air coming thru. Only...

    Predator C4+

    The Blak would have to be cored. Ebony is nearly twice the density of maple. For the same reason I doubt there's ebony under the wrap (besides just being a waste). Doesn't matter to me, the ebony is absolutely stunning. Really nice grain in mine. Tried to look down the weight bolt hole, but it's...

    Purpose Built Arena

    I think many of the production groups do a great job. This is how i would like to see it. Really similar to Mosconi arena, but with 2 tables. - VIP floor seating - Stadium spectator seating - Tall sound barrier between tables, removed for late stages so both sides can see the live table. -...
