    Which Jump Cue?

    The best I have ever used (and I hate jump cues) was the original Predator Air and the OB Lift Pro 3 piece. Kept the Pro. The Air 2 is a decent jumper and should suit your needs well. They are also easy to resell if you don't like it.

    Longer cues

    I have and it changed the hit dramatically! Turned it into a sponge if you ask me. Almost wobbly. I prefer the rear extension. In my opinion, that's the way to go.

    The best pool balls

    Aramith tournament or Brunswick Centennials. But both with a different cue ball. Honestly it becomes a question of preference and how much you are willing to spend.

    Longer cues

    So I have a predator butt, cuetec shaft and the 3" extension I use on it all the time. Ordered the cue at 18 ounces. Could get slightly lighter with no weight bolt but with extension its about 20. Overall it's about 61" The weight is easy to adjust to and the added length is the nuts even on...

    Is $169 a bad price for a CF shaft?

    I guess you could do some pre orders. Say $20 holds you a spot and see what that generates for market buzz. I am down with that.

    Is $169 a bad price for a CF shaft?

    I use a CF shaft and I know they are over priced but still label me a skeptic at that price. BUT, the cheapskate in me says BUY! BUY! BUY!

    No glove. corn starch , baby powder or something else?

    Lose the powder, get a glove. Or break every hour or so, wash your hands and wipe the shaft down with a damp paper towel.

    Anyone going to Derby that can do me a favor?

    Don (Sureman Cues) is usually in attendance and selling as well. Not sure if I will make it up there or not (I am local to the event). May just run up on a whim if I do.

    Game changer at the DCC

    This is an odd rule addition about not being allowed to jump the ball off the table to take a foul as the room Greg Sullivan typically plays at allows this and its common practice. The negatives canceling each other out makes more sense as players could both get way into the negative and...

    UNI-LOC joint - the real story

    Interesting. Totally changes what I was always told over the years and makes sense. I have 1 uni lock cue and it will loosen up a bit during a long session. First and last for me.

    Pocket size?

    For the casual player, practicer and friends and family over to play, 4.5 pro cut is perfect. For more serious play, 4.25 is really good but your casual playing opponents will not like it. Anything tighter should not be an option unless you are planning to go out on the pro tour Or are a glutton...

    Best player ever for the cash?

    I will throw a name into the mix, Varner. Didn't Nick go to the Philippines in his prime and taken on all comers? That was the story I remember. Maybe not the strongest at a few games but he was still a monster in his day.

    Coaching?

    I do see it as coaching. You are playing the person at the table and not the person at the table plus the whole room. If they do not know or understand then that’s not my issue. I used to play league and would watch my opponent scurry over to their teammates between shots to get advice on their...

    what's the best cue you ever hit with, and why?

    Gus Szamboti Hoppe cue. Probably 99% the mystique of the cue/builder/history more than anything but gosh that man could build a cue that moved the cue ball. I have owned several older Schon cues that play superb as well and could not be taken lightly. From that point it typically goes downhill.
