Samsara may be up to the job. They use similar techniques on a lot of their cues.

1. Yes, I find that they produce more QB speed for the effort, and doing so gives longer life to my soft playing tips. 2. Sure, I don't think it takes away from any aspect of the game. 3. Mine is, but I hardly use the jump portion outside of practice. I prefer to play billiards with kicking...

I'm sure this will bring another wave of purchases for Kamui. Is it the same price?

Someone brought up weight distribution in another thread and i find this to be just as important. If you have a heavy weight bolt and a heavy joint the feel will be completely different than an evenly balanced cue. I personally prefer a well balanced cue with a slightly rear balance point...

Awesome quotes. I particularly like number 7.

Thought you might be trying to get all Guy Debord on us up on here. I'll see your good old fashioned american optimism and raise you a Foucault.

The 70% more than makes up the difference in this scenario. I think it would be better to have control of the table more after the break and look for good safety opportunities when necessary. Also, a 30% chance of making a ball with cue ball control is roughly a 70% chance of leaving the QB...

Interesting question but what's the comparison? Would it be 70% vs 50% with cueball control? Given the chances of scratching or being left with no shot, I think I'd stick with 50% plus control.

70% is pretty frikkin strong.

Chalk at the contact points. :rolleyes: Yeah I used to wonder how I got THAT much throw.

I'm sure everyone here has a different perspective on what they see when they go to a pool table and what feel means to them. I don;t think I could be accurate without always looking at the contact point and judging how to hit it with the cue ball. I believe the more refined you can make your...

I am severely intrigued. Do you know what kind of planes they use or anything about the technique? I've often toyed around with the idea of building a cue with only hand tools, and using some Japanese style joinery just for fun.

I understand what he's trying to do now that I looked at the tutorial for his app. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMuuWSHWWe4 You place the phone over the object ball, input the distance to the QB, point the "cursor" back to the center of the cue ball, then get the angle/overlap from the...

You might get more responses in the wanted/for sale section. There are a lot of good cues out there, I don't think you'll have any trouble finding one. Pechauers are solid and well regarded, and I have a very fancy one for sell like this...

I have such a crush on Jennifer Barretta. If your looking for some handsome guy to play her new boyfriend keep me in mind. :thumbup:

Please see my post below.

April fools day seems a little far off for this video. But, with any half ball hit, as the QB travels towards the object ball it will come within four inches, suddenly the spheres will get in the way of one another and make it impossible. Forget my first statement, this actually explains a lot.

I have no experience with that cue. I've heard though that the J&J break cues were a really great bargain buy. http://www.jjcue.com/jjcue-jumpbkcue.htm

I concur wholeheartedly about getting a longer cue. My wingspan is 6'2", and I cannot tell the difference it makes for me to play with a 60" cue.

I eat a bunch of peanuts, cashews, almonds, whatever; it just keeps me going steady. If I ate a big plate of pasta I'd be done before I even started.
