    Cue Power: Snooker versus 9 ball (Argument settler)

    My friend is trying to really improve and become a top local player and he is very focused on working on changing his stance and alignment (mostly using Mark Wilson's teachings and concepts) In discussing this with him one of the concepts is that in pool (especially 9 ball) you have to be...

    Han's Delta Pool Table?

    Saw an ad for a pool table that looks basically identical to a Gold Crown 5. Is it just a good knockoff or is it a rebranded Brunswick?

    Gorgeous 360 from PFD Studios

    31 months ago or so, I ordered a cue from Paul with a simple challenge. Make a cue with 3 different woods, none of which can be ebony or holly. This is the result. A truly exceptional cue I think. Unique "360" design with the main wood being a really rare piece of Katalox burl, and then...

    IQ Cues Cocobolo Olivewood with Golden Amboyna Handle

    Here is some pics of a cue I commissioned from the guys at IQ Cues in Greece. Think it turned out really elegant I think. Love the combination of Olivewood and Cocobolo so actually ordered two cues with that combo. One for IQ Cues and also one from Shelby Williams. Unique feature on this cue...

    $100 Green logo Mali

    Years ago when I was actually good I mostly played with a $100 Green label Mali I won off a Navy guy. Eventually Judd Fuller made me a cue and I played with that until I took a 20 year hiatus. It was stolen just as I got back into pool (sigh) Saw a listing on EBAY for a Mali that looked just...

    How to fix the "yips"

    I am having an issue where sometimes I completely lost the ability to play. I will get completely out of sequence, and I will do a quick jabby stroke or just start the forward stroke before I mean to and just sort of just lamely slap at the ball. Everything I have tried to stop it when it starts...

    Just got this beauty 10 mins ago, thought I would share. Pictures do not quite capture it. Joe did and unbelievable job with an exotic leather not used often and there is nothing else like a Whitten.

    Is there seriously only 1 pic of George?

    I think I have only seen 1 picture of Balabushka ever. I did a search and the usual one is the only one you see. Is there seriously only the one picture of him out there?

    Five point cues

    Dan Janes made me a lovely 5 point cue. It doesn't look at cluttered as a 6 point and each point still had enough thickness to them that they almost look like points on a 4 point cue. I really like it. When I have talked to other cuemakers though it seem no one wants to do 5 points and I was...

    The best way to order a custom cue IMO

    I think that most people order a custom cue, they dictate almost the entire design to the cuemaker. In addition to the playing specs, they detail the woods, the inlays, type of joint, ring design, wrap, etc... I think this is a great way to order a custom cue. You get exactly what you want, you...

    In depth semi-custom JB Case Review

    Thought I would give a pretty complete review of my JB case and the overall experience. It is a JB Rugged with the extra deep pockets, an Embroidered Dragon and a Dragon Font name embroidered. 3x6, extra tall to accommodate the Dragon. TLDR version: I like it quite a bit, and would recommend JB...

    How to develop a "trigger"

    I have been trying the SPF method of playing and it is not really working for me at all. The biggest issue for me is that the pause before the stroke and the pause at the back of the stroke are so foreign to me, and I just feel frozen, without any smoothness of rhythm to my stroke. I need to...
