    Dominant eye?

    I am not sure which eye Shaw is dominant with, but he has an elongated arm and a contortion to his stance. That is kind of how I feel when playing left handed, though on observation, my body looks almost the same as right handed. It's why I think part of it is mental/familiarity. It's not the...

    Dominant eye?

    I guess the mechanics of the individual body play a part, certain parts could be 'locked' into place by said contortion. I feel much more direct cueing left handed. I feel the straightness (if that makes sense). Whereas right handed I feel more fluid. But then that could also simply be...

    Yes, different tabloids reported for or against. Big scary Russian sounding dudes in a room made him wet himself into saying 'yes' - I don't buy it personally. 'Rolls Royce cue action' back in the day - my dad used to say it helps when you've got 30stone of flesh locking the cue in place 😂

    Leave him in the bin. Anyone who brings the integrity of something that people love into question shouldn't be allowed to compete at the highest levels. Regardless of the endeavour. All those Chinese players, Xintong included. All the cricketers, footballers, musicians, hell even politicians...

    Dominant eye?

    Be a little more absurdist, nothing has meaning unless you want it to ;) This topic is quite interesting, maybe not one for stimulating masses of conversation, but great for introspection.

    Dominant eye?

    I never realized how dominant I was to my right eye until I put a bit of time into shooting left handed. I used to play racks against myself right vs left for practice when there was no one at the hall to play. I always knew I was slightly in favour of my right eye, having observed myself from...

    Bai Yulu 145 in Snooker

    No woman has made 147 in WST matchplay. Many have made 147. There was a couple videos of a knee-high girl making one doing the rounds on social media here not long ago

    How Important Is it to Own/Use a Break Cue

    I watched Yapp fiddle with a series of weight bolts for damn near 5 hours, some Chinese players have different shafts, butts or combination of the two for different games. I happen to agree with you though. Anything is useable, and good players figure out the equipment, the equipment doesn't...

    Bai Yulu 145 in Snooker

    She's a beast. I hope the women get more opportunities, and with better exposure to their game, are competing more frequently (and confidently) against the men.

    How's the Triple60 break shaft play? There's something I have not had a chance to fiddle with here yet. Triple60 isn't so popular here. It initially had big pricetags, but resale value is rockbottom on reselling apps on the shafts I have seen here. Lot of friends weren't so enamored with them...

    Cole Dickson: Livin' large off the fat of the land

    Think I can get it via. Amazon, then can add it to my GF kindle. Think she needs to run the file through a software or something, as Amazon/kindle is defunct here in China now. She still uses her kindle with a little magic, so hopefully I can get it. Thanks :)

    Cole Dickson: Livin' large off the fat of the land

    Will have a look! I tried looking on zLibrary, but couldn't find it. Tried your website too, but seemed paper copy. I will likely order a paper copy to my parents place, and pick it up when I visit, and try to get a digital copy to read here :)

    Cole Dickson: Livin' large off the fat of the land

    Maybe a bit off topic, but is there a way to get your book via. digital copy? Would love to read it, but am unsure about postage to where I am.

    I haven't tried it yet, and am unlikely to (unless my friend gets one) but I can post some picture of it later when I have a moment. Seems to be a purple layered tip. I think the Kanui Sai Hard is the best thing I have tried to this point.

    I agree, everything has a learning curve, and some use what they got to get the best out of things.

    It's not, but their latest one has gone back to layered and resin I think. The 2.0, had many problems with friction rounding the edges, and affecting the cloth of the table. Has a nice feel to it though, similar feel to bulletproof in my experience.

    It's pool, top players are a coin toss.

    This is good if you're a beginner. I have seen real nice ones, and ones that sound like they're a bag of nuts and bolts.... really is luck of the draw. Think this is their old stickering/branding, as it seems to have changed to a new design here. I would say the Universal branded break and Jump...

    Kamui Sai Hard will do you right on your current PBK - I use the Ignite G for MR 9ball and the Gold9 for 8/10 ball. I do quite like the Mezz DI2 shaft for 8/10 ball too because of the flex into the table. Phenolic is horrible (So is WD in my opinion) the feel and feedback are horrible. I like...
