KB, thanks for the advice. You mention a better material for the vault plate. Have you heard of problems like this, with their current material, or is my circumstance unique? To be honest, I prefer white and have heard McDermott only has the gray available. Which may be enough for me to pass on...

I have been playing with a Defy CF shaft, since April of this year. I noticed this weekend that the gray vault plate has cracked and actually chipped away. I’m not sold on continuing to use the Defy as my go to player but I am definitely going to get it fixed. My question is, Is this a repair...

Does it help to clarify, if we refer to SIT as throw and CIT as push? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Follow and most likely rail first follow being that close to the pocket. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have about a dozen sets of balls. The ones I am playing with stay in the pockets. The others are in a box or tray. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s hard to discuss USA’s Mosconi picks in a few words, but I believe Chris is a good pick. Chris is conducting himself like a professional. He has gained support and sponsors when others haven’t. When I look at the top 50 (Fargo) USA players, Chris and Oscar are the only two choices that made...

FWIW, I just lost interest in Matchroom’s Mosconi circus. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Definitely not an overwhelming favorite. I think Molina Mike mentioned Scott as a 6-5 favorite. Cue it Up had a great discussion about this match on yesterday’s podcast. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just to let it be known that some of us are OK with this format and love the added money being available to pro players, I am OK with this format. I’m also surprised so many US players chose to let this opportunity pass them by. It looks like the logistics/cost of participation in the series is...

I don’t think this name has been mentioned yet but I have heard Vernon Elliott’s name thrown around when heralding great cash players. He mostly stayed regional (Midwest) but I have heard countless stories about his big take downs He also had a few prop bet shots, when the action was slow...

In my experience, if you purchased the shaft from McDermott, they will re-tap the shaft to fit your butt for free. You will have to send them your shaft and butt but my experiences with McDermott have always gone well. If you want a newer pin that will fit most modern 3/8x10 shafts, they will...

Since we have strayed from the OP’s question of how to practice a pause to what’s the reason for a pause, I will give my two cents. The pause is a timing mechanism that disconnects the backward motion of the cue from the forward motion of the cue and nothing more. Without a proper pause, your...

A common practice is to say a three count phrase, in your head. Any phrase will do. One, two, three or ready, set go, or big bottom girls or one instructors suggestion ladies and gentlemen. Backstroke for two counts and forward on the three count. Use the same timing on all shots, hard or soft...

I’m not sure it is fair to say they haven’t a clue about whom the favorite may be but I feel certain they have a clue about the betting public. Bookies and their lines are not far from the parimutuel betting lines. Gotta pay off no matter who wins. [emoji41] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I changed from maple LD to CF back in April. The first month was pretty frustrating but by the end of the first month most of my shots were back to feeling natural. Over the next few months, I found that some shots were much easier and more consistent with the new shaft. Now after four months, I...

I have a Ballstar. Have never had any problems. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Shot 1: Corner pocket with rolling ball and speed to leave CB in the middle of the top rail. Shot 2: Side pocket with a little low outside. Not too difficult. Just don’t miss. Shot 3: Corner pocket with a little outside to avoid the opposite side scratch. Try to leave the CB up table near...

Not a bad idea. I think I favor the player, who gave up his earned break, getting it back at hill-hill though. No need to make him earn his break again, after being seated. Seems too much of a penalty for playing well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Where does the money for the bounty come from? Is it added as a promotion or are players invested? Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

Kudos to Matchroom and all the players involved in this World Cup! I found it very entertaining.
