I did a break tip review of several tips including Zento and Taom. I'll try to find the thread. I believe the title was "Break tip shootout" or something like that, under my user name. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

I have the generation 3 X Breaker, manufactured by Samsara. It is glorious. I'm not willing to part with any of it, but if there is some way I can be of help let me know. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

Tried a friend's 12.4 uni-loc. He had a Kamui black medium tip rather low. Way less deflection for sure. I'll experiment with a different tip. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

Bumpers...is (was) that Rob Hall's place? Very sad to hear if it closed. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

So I just got a 12.4 Revo, Radial pin, up and running. I've been playing with a 3/8-10 joint with a 4" mid extension, into a 314-3. I took my 314-3 down a little bit to about 12.6mm. It seems to have super low deflection. Now using the Revo (with an identical mid extension in every way...

If you keep having to shape your tip, have a review of your chalking habits. That accounts for the vast majority of your tips shape, assuming it was competently installed and you're past the initial break in period. Don rub across the tip, and don't screw. Just paint the edges of the tip. It...

I agree with everything you say. Thanks for the clarification! KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

Good question. Here are my thoughts: First, I think pattern racking is only an issue for strong pros. I just don't see it making much difference unless you are watching elite players. For B players it is beyond irrelevant, for A players it may make a tiny difference, but I'm just not seeing...

I've been using the Digicue Blue since before it came out. I like it a lot and find it really helps tune up my stroke, and quickly. Ingraining the feeling of a very straight stroke in my mind and my muscle memory helps me a lot. I would indeed be interested in trying out the QMD device to...

I think he was trying to keep the thread focused, and eliminate the inevitable "that's a gimmick you don't need it" type of responses that really don't pertain to the conversation. KMRUNOUT

Curious this post went on so long and has more or less only been about jump shots. Is this because advocating against tight racks was too ridiculous to entertain? So as to contribute, my opinion on jump cues is that I don't care. I jump great. I kick ok too. Against pros I'd rather be able...

No spaces wires the corner ball. Most "rack mechanics" are nothing other than people who bothered to learn to rack the balls tightly. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

Sorry you're having trouble. The completed matches and scheduled matches are organized by round, and then alphabetically by the player on the left. Since each player plays another player, you will see both names listed in the left player column. It actually makes perfect sense, you just need...

Yeah I played in the tourney and not sure what you're referring to. The break rules? I e never played with the illegal break rule personally, but it certainly isn't anything new. Overall I thought the format was pretty great. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

The way you describe "rolling" the pick on the tip sounds a lot like the intended action of the Kamui Gator Grip, but in reverse. I roll the tip on the Gator Grip while giving the tiniest bit of resistance in the opposite direction. I've never used anything that worked better for putting a...

Thanks Freddie. I got some rolls and played well at times. Actually had an even better chance at 3 fouling him earlier...left a look at a rail and he made a great kick. Botched shape on an 8 ball way deep in the corner pocket to get to the 9. Long tough cut almost out of the jaws of the...

Nope. The Hyperion balls feel noticeably different and to me, much better. Highly recommended. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

I'm pretty picky about pool balls. I'm here at DCC and I must say the Hyperion balls play excellent. Noticeably better than the original Cyclop or the current "regular" set. Cue ball is great, object balls feel great. They feel very very similar to the Aramith Tournament. The feel "heavy"...

I believe the oddity of the two things we mentioned are related lol KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

I should have said in my post hat my experiences with Cyclop balls, which goes back to what I believe was their debut at the BCA several years ago, has been positive. Overall they are a good set. I don't know that I've tried the Hyperion set. I'd expect it to be great. Good luck, KMRUNOUT...
