I just missed rsb. I had discovered the Monk forum. I knew of rsb but only looked a few times. It was at that time that I discovered Azb. Probably about 1996 or so. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

Make sure you know how to rack properly. Perhaps practice with a magic rack. Form a break strategy and hit a bunch of breaks. A break strategy would be something like "I'm gonna put the cue ball here, shoot for about 18 mph, and a smooth pop on the front ball, and make the 2nd ball in the...

Trained/tapped tables is not a particularly good solution for a commercial environment. First of all, people will not use them properly. Other issues include the variety of games people play, which may include 9 on the spot. I think it's a more practical option for a home table that will be...

FYI, every longer than 29" shaft I've tried I've hated. Not the same feel at all. I currently play with a custom made 4" mid extension. I love the setup. I'm using a wrapless Andy Gilbert butt, 4" mid extension, and a 314-2 at about 12.5mm. I'm actually contemplating going to a Revo. You...

Like many topics, this one isn't covered in the team manual. It is typically a local bylaw. It can range a lot. In my opinion, the home team should declare what cueball will be in use at the beginning of the session, and that should be the ball used there every single time. KMRUNOUT Sent...

There really aren't any pool halls in Boston. Flat top Johnny's has pretty bad equipment. Amazin Billiards in Malden is close. They have 10 legit Gold Crowns in good shape and 4 very nice billiards tables. Some decent players also. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

I have a dedicated AZB app. It's on iPhone but I imagine it's on android too. Works perfectly for the forum. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

It plays how it plays, whatever anyone says. I try it out. Doesn't take too many hits to determine if LD claims are justified. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

I just tried a 12.9 last night. I tried a 12.4 on the weekend. Seemed to me that the 12.4 had a bit less deflection. Also the 12.4 has a G2 soft that felt amazing, and the 12.9 had a Kamui black super soft, but it was low and very used and actually played much harder than the G2. If I was...

Low end mass. The other things matter only in so much as they co tribute to low end mass. Also, sadly there is no industry standard. Not that hard to create one, but look at the group we are talking about. Most people, players, promoters, industry people, only care how much of this little...

I second Tag Heuer. I bought one. Got a great deal but over 1k still. Very high quality. I really like it. Never had it services for like 12 years lol, and now it's really time (so to speak). But that's amazing for an automatic watch. They may have some sub 1k options. Very high quality...

Excellent post. Good insight and very accurate I believe. Although some of it is just simple defensive ignorance, like all the "LD is just a marketing gimmick" type nonsense. I really love the feel of a great cue with a traditional maple shaft. I have a nice Andy Gilbert I play with. I got...

I'm curious about your statements about the hits of the 12.4 and 12.9 Revos. Could you say more about that? I'm leaning towards getting a Revo. I tried both the 12.9 and 12.4 but usually on different cues and not at the same time. I was thinking I liked the 12.9 better, but just tried a 12.4...

I like something. I like that setup I hit with Sunday with the Revo shaft. I liked it because of the balance, the looks, the weight, the feel. That's really all the kick ass butt you made. I also liked it because of the performance of the Revo shaft. Stupidly low deflection and amazing...

Where the energy is directed is more important than how much energy there is. This is especially true with 9 ball (which requires little more than a firm stop shot speed to have an effective break). A pop on the break causes a different reaction from the rack than a flatter cue ball. It also...

Then it sounds like racking is your problem, not breaking. If you're racking your own, spend some time learning to get the rack frozen. Invest in Joe Tucker's "Racking Secrets". KMRUNOUT

Yeah the light holder looks really familiar lol. He was also the break speed app tender. Turns out that one was 33.5 if I remember. That was a fun day. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

Overall, they are very good. Possibly the most lively tip I've ever used. The action on the cue ball is ridiculous. However, they do mushroom some, and they definitely harden up a fair amount. Although the hit gets harder, the play stays very good. It seems the grip doesn't change a ton...

I don't own one. I really just rely on the path of the cueball to tell me where I hit it. I sometimes use a striped object ball to show other people where the miscue limits are, especially if they are having trouble getting lively draw. I imagine it is useful to some people, and if I had it...
