    Weight of your cue?

    The lighter cues are where it's at! I found that my touch is much better with 18 to 18.5 but playing with a 17 feels a little weird...

    AZers in L.A? Meetup + Pool + Booze?

    I would never pay $100 for a cab when you could rent a car for $40 a day easy, right there by the airport. You should check it out... They may even have specials right now for late pick up early drop off...

    Pro Players that deserve RESPECT

    I'm a pool player! I respect other players by their abilities to play pool! I understand some players are not as great at life as they are at pool and that just goes into who they are as a human being. Making shots and getting position is what I respect... Corey Duell=Respect Thorsten...

    mcdermott stinger ng05

    The NG-05 is a real good cue. My teammate last session had one that I definitely preferred to use over my break cue. It has a really sweet hit for a break cue. It comes with a G-Core shaft that you could use as a player and the jump handle if you prefer using that grip. I like the feel on the...

    Reaching jump shots?

    Oh MAN!!! Yeah that jump Vandenburg hit in the Cup was forking amazing!!! He used some crazy extendo jump bridge that looked like a branding iron. Sorry I can't put the link, I'm at work... As per the OP's question, I agree with CreeDo. I use the free hand dart throw grip every time I jump...

    Nick Varner cues... Any Good?

    Thanks for all the input guys, it's always appreciated. I got the cue delivered last week and I've been hitting a few breaks and jumps with it. It's a decent quality cue, definitely not crap construction. There are a couple bubbles in the finish around some of the rings that could have been...

    Is it bad to use my regular pool playing cue...

    HA! Yes I was playing in Garden Grove :rotflmao: The glass lockers were at 2000 Points and the Gabriel's were at Thanh Tam Billiards in lil Saigon. The pocket tables at 2000 points were pretty horrible, clean but horrible. Thanh Tam was a great little spot for billiards. They only had 3 not so...

    Green Felt Jungle

    I just finished reading this book recently and it was so much fun. It was filled with lots of great stories and almost drips of action. I ordered it from the author and he even put a nice inscription in for me. I would definitely recommend this to other members :thumbup:

    Is it bad to use my regular pool playing cue...

    I've always wanted to play cushion billiards as a way to improve my pool game. I went to a place that have these nice Gabriel's tables the other day with a pool buddy of mine and it was great! We were just playing straight rail and having a hard time getting to 10 points but it was definitely a...
