Improper visual alignment was indeed my problem.

Gene is the real deal. Do yourself a favor and call him. It's a problem that can be worked around with a lot of practice, but fixing it manually with Gene will make you get it right so much faster.

just had a great discussion with Gene on the phone. I will be trying his teachings in the next few days and write a review about how it helped me, because it certainly will. Thanks again Gene, this is greatly appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Rick, I’ll give it a look.

Hello, Does anybody else have that problem? I am unsure what causes this problem, but it is definitely there. I have a much harder time pocketing balls when I need to send the OB to the right than when it needs to go to the left of the shot line. I figured it might have to do with eye...

Hello, A while ago I said that I would be streaming my practice sessions in an effort to stay focused and concentrated and to stop messing when at the table instead of making the most out of it. Technical constraints where I was playing prevented me for a while from streaming but this has been...

I'd actually bet SVB knows where the natural pivot points of his cues are. And since you don't seem to have a clue what the natural pivot point actually does for a cue: http://billiards.colostate.edu/bd_articles/2007/nov07.pdf You are able to? Because even top pros struggle with doing that...

Technically speaking, you don't need a LD shaft on a break cue if you only plan on hitting dead center of the cue ball. If you fancy the cut break though, it could help since you aren't hitting the center of the cueball and deflection comes in play, but since the shot is almost always the same...

It does actually do something very specific, but it's not like I could expect you to know ;) You can very much feel the difference when trying both cues. Sure Shane can do it with any cue, but he's a world class pro, he doesn't hit off-center as much as I do, and that's where the well placed...

It’s not very much about how hard it allows you to break versus a house cue, it’s much more about control. I can’t break harder with my BKII compared to my J&J, but I certainly have better control.

Don't you know custom cues are vastly superior performance-wise to any other type of cue? On a more serious note, I'd tend to disagree. A break cue is very much about the balance and natural pivot point (and of course tip) of the cue and I doubt house cues have the appropriate proprieties in...

I definitely noticed a difference between my old 100$ J&J and my new Predator BKII. By all means, the J&J was a great break cue, but it seems the BKII has better balance and a better pivot point. I guess seeing a difference depends on how you break.

Oh well yeah of course you don't have to use BHE, but the technique itself, with FHE, work pretty well.

If someone is actually really using truly parallel english, they must be missing a lot. BHE works, whether people want to believe it or not.

Sure. The day I see a cue from a custom cue maker that matches the LD tech of high end cue companies I’ll believe it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So, what is your shaft's deflection at 50"? Surely you were told precisely the specs of your shaft when you bought it and, of course, they will be exactly the same when you buy another one. http://www.predatorcues.com/technique/

This is completely ridiculous. Good god I wonder why I keep bothering. I get people saying that cues don't bend and now I get this non-sense. Keep your custom cues, I'll keep my production cues.

(Removed) I really don't feel like arguing about this anymore. This is utter non-sense.
