I agree with the other poster that this can be done, but with a non traditional typical 9 ball break. With a traditional break, ideally if the rack is tight, the 9 won't move unless kicked. The nine can't be kicked unless there are rails to kick from. Problem number two, a full center ball...

Mullyman, and Monchiwai are in Japan. Monchiwai in the Tokyo area. I returned from my 19 years of living there just over two years ago. I lived in the burbs right outside of Tokyo, so most of the places I hung out were not exactly 'train friendly.' You will however, not have a diffucult time...

I've done this a couple of times. Most people know that it's a pretty easy pocket on the 9, but none the less, it's always impressive when done in a match. Problem is, the scratch is always a danger. It's one of those "hell of a shot dude, bummer roll."...

Shot on the 5 ball had to have been in a game of "Goku." Do you play the kansai version where the 3,5,7, and 9 are all money balls, or the kanto version where only the 5 and 9 are the money balls?

How many pool players does it take to change a light bulb? 100! One guy to do it, and another 99 to sit around and talk about how they could have done it better. Pretty good shot and leave in my opinion. So good that I'd call it lucky to end up that good. When taking speed into...

I'm guilty of flipping a couple of SW, Cogs, JW's, and Judds for well over 3 times what I paid for them. But I still beat Lucky, NewArt, and all the other major dealers prices over there! Remembering you're also a guitar player. Ever play in a group over there? Same as in pool. Young kid...

Odd thing is, with you being currently in Japan, and with me having lived there for 19 years, I'm pretty sure you and I both have seen some pretty nice BB's. Most likely the highest raitio of BB's per capita than any other country in the world!! dave

APA Anything played on un-level 7 footers with bucket sized pockets in a system with rules that do not reflect the professional game, and questionably handicapped ..............................is not what I consider competitive pool to me. It's a social event like inviting friends over for UNO...

Like I have posted in another thread, I'm very happy with the OB Classic. This is the first of the OB products I've ever used, so can't comment on the OB1 or the OB2. My personal experience with the Predator products was always a sacrifice situation. For me I had to give up the solid feel of...

Just out of curiosity, I would assume that when changing a tip, changing the carbon pad is NOT something you want to do as often as changing the tip. What kind of care needs to be considered when removing the tip but leaving the carbon pad? Same process as without a pad? dave

I got my OB Classic Thursday night and immediately took it out for a test run. And I was very impressed. To put this into perspective, I use a Keith Josey, who is well known for superior wood selection when it comes to his shafts. The OB doesn't eliminate deflection by any means, but it sure...

Could get flamed for this, but I tried a friends Black Boar once, and was not impressed. By no means was I 'turned off' by the cue. It hit as well as any other very well made high end cue. But no better. I was expecting a little more magic I guess. I couldn't see spending 4K or more when I...

I've been using them exclusively for a little less than a year now, and will not seek another tip. I've always been picky, and maybe somewhat superstitious when it comes to tips, or any change involving something with my cues, and these are the real deal. They go on easy, trim easy, shape...

Chris, I just purchased an OB Classic entirely based on a review you posted a couple of days ago. Have known you from the forum for years, and have always respected your opinion, and at times, have felt that we're similar in what we like in a cue. Back to the OB. I bought the Classic, not the...

I actually think it would be better if you took your mind off the thickness of the shafts for two main reasons. It appears that because you seem to be open to a variety of diameters, you most likely don't have a favorable diameter and probably aren't sure what you want. Secondly, a thinner...

I'm sure that there are several cue makers out their that have or can find an artist for hire that will do the work you're interested in. The above cue I believe is a Hills cue? I remember seeing it for sale some time ago, and it's the only 'painted' cue that I've ever seen that I thought was...

Predator Z-Shaft. Radial pin Brown collar New test played milk dud tip recently installed. In good used condition. $100 Shipped. dave

The Musashi line of cues from Adam, is what Adam calls it's custom cue line. I've played with a few, and know a couple of pro players in Japan that endorse them. Custom cue? Well, kinda sorta. Generally Adam cues are production line type cues. The have several well trained craftsmen that...

One possible explanation for the difference in your new Triangle, and the one that came with your cue when you bought it could be the possibility that the cue sat around for quite some time before you purchased it, so the tip was a little old. dave

To me is has to be all about the selectivity of the materials involved in making the cue. First and formost, plastics verses verses real inlay materials. Then the selectivity of the woods. How much wood makes it into a cue verses how much gets trashed. Sure, I've never heard the stats on...
