    Yellow Phenolic Plastic Cue Ball ?

    I've heard that from others before. Isn't it odd how Saluc says otherwise?

    Getting kicked

    Clean balls This brings to mind the Corey Deuel video of a 14.1 run from a few years ago where he cleans the balls repeatedly once he has a few racks and presumably wants to protect what he's invested so far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67d_MYqcwnM Until this video, I'd never seen anyone...

    Which predator shaft deflects the most?

    So why do you want one if the deflection characteristics are a problem? Surely that's the biggest difference between these and what you are used to.

    Yellow Phenolic Plastic Cue Ball ?

    Direct from the horse's mouth... I sent the following email to Saluc/Aramith recently. Note that they say the balls should be stored in the dark to minimize yellowing and also that their Aramith Restorer helps too. Can you please tell me if there is any practical way to reverse some of the...

    Is this a legal use of the bridge ??

    But that's where the "or" comes in: "The equipment must be used only for the purpose or in the manner that the equipment was intended."

    get in stroke before a match

    I feel the same way and I warm up by shooting nothing but easy shots. Seems to get me loose pretty fast.

    FREE Android 14.1 Straight Pool Scorer app - new version.

    One more thing... When scoring with beads, a common practice is for one player to finish scoring the previous rack while the other player racks the 14 balls. Then after finishing the rack, the racking player confirms that the scoring is right and moves the beads over. With the app, one player...

    Bridge head question

    Hmmmm, Justa Bridge has been around for quite awhile now. Do you have the same fears for its legality? https://www.seyberts.com/cue-bridges/keller-justa-bridge-bridge-head/

    Not more difficult... ...given the same budget for development, it's probably one of the easier things to accomplish.

    Time for new eyeglasses, thoughts?

    I've been wearing these for years and mine are bifocals. My normal glasses are trifocals, but the third distance is unnecessary for pool. These are good quality specs and I don't know why others are so expensive. https://www.spex4less.com/sports-glasses/snooker-glasses

    Straight Pool ?

    14.1 Advice From Jerry Briesath Recognizing that most intermediate 14.1 players are held back by their inability to advance easily from one rack to the next, Jerry Briesath advised me to practice this way: 1. Place an ideal break ball on the table. 2. Place a good key ball. 3. Spread a few...

    The Road Bridge quick review

    How do you see the cue ball? The photo showing the bridge reaching over five balls looks like the reaching part is fine, but I don't understand how the shooter sees the cue ball unless he's about seven feet tall. It would appear that the black bridge head would block the view. Isn't that a...

    FREE Android 14.1 Straight Pool Scorer app - new version.

    Suggestions for version 4.0 Overall this is a great app... and the price is certainly appealing, but all great apps can still see improvements. Here are a few I'd suggest: 1. Don't force the player to lie to the app in order to finish the game. When the active player may win in the current...

    Need 3/8 x 10 plus an extension

    The only 3/8 x 10s I see are their jump and break cues. Most everything else is radial pin.

    Need 3/8 x 10 plus an extension

    Which production (non-custom) cue company makes cues with a 3/8 x 10 joint that also have accomodation for an extension? Not an after-market extension, but one that's made to fit their line of cues. I see that McDermott fits this profile. Anyone else? I've got nothing against McDermott, but...

    Best Area in Florida for Pool

    I think this post pretty much says it all. I travelled the country for two and a half years looking for a place with a healthy pool community. I wound up in Palm Harbor (Pinellas county) for all of the reasons that the above poster and others have indicated.

    cue extension advice

    According to Budget Billiards website, the Predator extension weighs between 4.0 and 4.5 ounces: http://www.budgetcues.com/predator-qr-extension.htm That turns your 19 oz. cue into a 23 oz. cue! Unless you use it full time and remove the weight bolt(s) from the butt.
