I like to play in Nike shoes also.

Great post and it reminds me of something i've heard for years, but I tend to forget and it's "Play the Balls and not your opponent". Don't worry about who your playing or how good they are just go to the table and make the right decision based on the layout.

Excellent post and a lot of players can't play their game when the pressure gets on them.

I have a custom J/B cue and it was OK, but it didn't break as well as for ex. a Predator BK2 and it didn't jump that well either. It had a brown phenolic ferrule tip combo on the shaft and I wasn't happy with it and I was trying to find another option. I kept reading about Samsara J/B tips and...

I don't agree with this statement, but I do agree that if the customers don't spend some money the room won't be open long. Pool rooms have a lot of overhead and it makes sense to buy some food or drinks, pay for your time playing, and enjoy having a nice place to play in. I wish there was a...

This room looks great. Not too fancy, but everything you need and a super nice table.

I don't know who your cue maker is that told you to "call back in a year", but that would be my last time dealing with him. I would try to find one of the very good cue repair people either near you or one you can ship your cues to for any repairs. I wouldn't want to deal with someone who told...

I need some advice and opinions from some of the forum members. I play in a weekly 9 ball league and the league rated me to play as an AA handicap which is where the top players play. I would have to rate myself as a lower end AA or maybe a good A player, but I’ve asked about being lowered to...

I would send the cue to Schon and have them do it. If something isn't right they can fix it and I don't think they would charge too much to do it either.

I'm wondering how many members have seen Wang Can play? He's a young Chinese player and I just can't believe how good he is at such a young age. I missed seeing him play at last years US Open, but I got a copy of an Accu-stats match of Wang playing a Japanese Champion on the TV table at the...

5 hours is way too long for a tournament match. The fans will get bored in a hurry.......

I have the same two sets that you have. I had my Centennials for years and I bought a set of Aramith Tournament balls after last years US Open. I like both sets, but I've been using the Aramith set since I got them. I need to clean my Centennials and rotate them like you are doing.

You'll never have a problem with those balls and they are fine for anyone to play with. I bought a used set from last years US Open and I like them a lot, but I may not have bought that set if I had to pay close to retail. You'll never no the difference with the balls at Seyberts other than...

It may be my computer, but are the pictures real dark to everyone else? Mine are so dark I can't make out the details.

How straight is the shaft or did I miss that scanning through the thread and is the ferrule ivory? thanks,

Now thats a point nobody has mentioned. I hadn't thought about cue extensions for use on big tables. If you have a rubber bumper you need a special bumper setup to allow for use of a cue extension. Bumperless cues don't have a rubber bumper to interfere with using an extension. I guess you...

I like your ideas and this would be a good way to play 9 ball. Anything to take some of the luck out of 9 ball and put more skill into the game. I personally don't think a 9 ball on the break should win the game. If the 9 ball goes in it should be spotted and the breaker is still shooting after...

I agree, I can't think of another American player who can do it. Shane's won the US Open three times and he hasn't played another American player in the finals yet.

You and I think along the same lines. I don't abuse my cues and in fact I may go overboard in taking care of my cues, but I think for peace of mind a Bumperless cue isn't for me either.

I would like to get some opinions pro and con on why someone would want a nice custom cue built without a rubber bumper. Is it just the way it looks and if that's the reason why wouldn't you want a rubber bumper on your nice cue to protect the butt cap of the cue? Some pool rooms don't have...
