    Repeatable Results?

    Nothing happens randomly if it goes about Billard. If you are thinking in this direction, also a perfekt cleanliness of the balls needs to ensured each time before you rack them up, same for the cleanliness of the cloth and rails. One major problem will be: How do ensure that the balls are...

    NEW Bulletproof Synthetic Playing Tips.

    Do you think the marks were V10-chalk? If so, could it be that this tip needs less chalk than leather tips?

    NEW Bulletproof Synthetic Playing Tips.

    I have tested yesterday the RECOIL medium on my IQ infinity shaft + Predator SP butt (8-pointer). The RECOIL medium really feels and sounds like a good medium tip. Very consistent feel, no negative issues. Just about the spin potentail I'm not yet fully clear about, I'll have to play another...

    Break cue.. the most over hyped cue in our bag?

    In general, to me, a break cue should allow me to use as less as possible body power to get a certain level of cueball speed AND control o the cueball (relation of effort and result RER). I have tried yet many different wooden shaft break cues and also a couple of the carbon shaft break cues...

    NEW Bulletproof Synthetic Playing Tips.

    why not using a tip pad between ferrule an tip? At some super low deflection shafts like the Mezz Expro, Z2 or Z3 or IQ, I would always reommend using a tip pad in order to protect the ferrule from overstress

    NEW Bulletproof Synthetic Playing Tips.

    @Bulletproof Billiards: If the soft will make it a bit more difficult do draw and the hard will make draws become easier/better: Will then the RECOIL medium behave ~ the same like a good leather tip at applying draw?? By the way: I have the bulletproof breaktip on my break cue and on my jump...

    Tip Curvature/Break Stick/Increase Cue Ball Speed?

    Not sure if I got you. Did I understand you right that you rounded your tip towards a smaller radius? In my opinion, if it goes about maximizing the cueball horizontal speed, a bigger tip radius (pretty flat tip) is better than a smaller tip radius (pretty round tip). Why I think so? As rounder...

    ZAN tips must be REALLY good !!! WTF

    I understand you, but I know how to install tips and I'm sure that the delamination is not caused by the installation. With the thickness issue, it's the sam at the Kamui brown tips --> more compression during manufacturing of the tips will create harder tips. But Zan claims to have a different...

    ZAN tips must be REALLY good !!! WTF

    I installed meanwhile lots of the Zan hybridmax tips and also a couple of Zan premium soft and Zan medium for other players, had these tips also on a couple of my own shafts and by this I was able collecting a bit of experience. If it is going about the hardness the Zan tip seem to be pretty...

    Efren Reyes bizarre social media fans.....

    Stupid guys are everywhere, that's life and we shouldn't pay them too much attention, it isn't worth it. To me, Efren Reyes is the GOAT, no doubt. But I have seen also many shots that he missed very poorly, he is still a human being, no god. But some people like to mystify Efren, OK if they...

    Has anyone heard from Tom Hay recently?

    Anyway to me, the SIB tips von Tom are the beste tips to me ever, because these tips perfrom very well in all relevant aspects, do not have any point that would cause troubles in any direction, and the price in comparison to the quality is outstanding. I'm very greatful to Tom and his business...

    Cuetec Avid: fiberglass still?!

    Well, the cynergy deflects very little, definitly less than 314/3. I played it for more than two years. But Revo and Ignite deflect a bit less than the cynergy. What I wanted to say is: The weight that you can measure and the balance point are in no way related to deflection, just to be clear...

    Best hitting cue you ever played with.

    Meucci 88-1 with Mezz' WX Sigma and modified EX Pro. 19,0 oz, slighty back balanced and perfect feel to me. Very neutral performance and lively feedback.

    Cuetec Avid: fiberglass still?!

    Carbon shaft are both: stiff and pretty heavy, it's not true that the carbon shaft are stiff + light. One of the mostly known examples is the cynergy shaft from cuetec. I have a cynergy standard length with the 3/8x11 thread and the weight is 107 gr., and this is absololutely not light weight...

    Cuetec Avid: fiberglass still?!

    I ow one Avid cue, and I know also about the traditional way Cuetec was sealing the shafts. There is a difference in the texture. The old shafts from Cuetec, sealed with epoxy and glass fibers, were very smooth with no visible or haptical texture, whereas the new Avid shaft surface has a visible...

    Dufferin jumpcue „Flower Power“

    Hi, I customized my jumpcue from Dufferin, which is my only jumpcue and works perfect for me. I added an extension an painted it with a very unusual design 😂 I call it now the „Flower Power“ 🤭 This is the beginning of a new design era in pool sports 🤩🤩🤩🙈

    Mezz ex pro vs sigma

    I have both shafts, Ex Pro and WX Sigma (12,5). Both shafts are not pro taper, but very close to pro taper. I did not measure them, but I clearly can say that both feel great when playing with closed bridge. I'm a big fan of pure and long pro tapers like the cynergy shaft 12,5 mm, wich is my...

    Mezz Wavy Joint

    I love the wavy system most of all joint systems that I‘ve ever used. I like so much the tight / stiff connection avoiding any loose fit.
