    Break Cue: Lucasi, McDermott, or just a break tip?

    a good break technique is youtube. you can find breakdowns of different games and the directions of the balls, and you practice them until you find what works. I go to the tried and true techniques, middle for tenball and eight, side for nine and inside for straight.

    most under appreciated players.

    im sure a similar thread was done before, just curious bc im rewatching the world pool masters final with feijen and svb. Ive been watching some old Bustamante videos, and you forget how good he was. hes as close to Efren as could be with the artistry of the game, but hes not mentioned like...

    Break Cue: Lucasi, McDermott, or just a break tip?

    anyone ever notice that your playing cue breaks better than breaking cues? it does. I break with my playing cue or a house cue. haven't had an issue yet.

    ob cues is making all the right moves

    OB sucked, im shocked they lasted as long as they did. they laminated everything over the top even the ferrule, it seemed like a gimmick more than anything else. than they came out with their pro shafts with the white ferrule and they played a little better, but still not great and I had one...

    What top cue makers do all their own work?

    I have no idea, but I can tell you this, if hes a "TOP" guy, he should be doing everything from start to finish. most cue makers buy forearms and butt sleeves and put it together im guessing, but theres also small cue makers who sell locally who do all their own work. I just came back from the...

    Is Schmidt's and charlie 626 Legit

    personally like the guy, but I don't like his game, from his stroke to his play, and his game is straight pool and hes only won one major title in it. mosconi won it 19X back when everybody played straight, so him having the record holds more credence. Schmidt is a low level pro, won a 9...

    If I don't care about artistics and the looks of the cue, how to choose?

    personally the butt don't mean shit, I see guys with $3000 cues and a predator shaft on it. that tells you all you need. the joint and the shaft and tip is what makes the difference, than after that its resellability, collection or a show offy design. obviously a custom cue where the wood is...

    ...

    It seems youre forced to wear a glove. not a fan of gloves. and me personally like a dirty wood shaft, not caked with chalk and grease but stained from use and a little grainy feel to it. im in the minority on that one but I know of people who are the same, even a couple of pros.but I do like...

    Improve your game quickly

    I visualize the person I hate the most in the world and if I make the shot I get to beat him with a house cue to a pulp. works wonders, I haven't missed a shot since 1969

    Things that pro pool is doing correctly.

    the new generation of young players like a shaw or a filler are more connected techwise with the older pros like an Appleton or a immonen than the last generation was with their predecessors, so its relatively easy to follow matches and their careers as they all seem like a unit. and the matches...

    What happened to John Barton?

    he was an insufferable human being who god forbid you gave a different opinion to his own, he would lose it. people like that are draining, and his cases were not the best, I personally disliked them for EDC, theyre good for storage. personal opinion, don't john barton me
