    Pawn shop predator

    Having managed a pawn shop in a former life, I'd almost guarantee that if you offered $500 cash they'd take it. I'd guess at that price they probably loaned $250 max, maybe $300 if it had been in a couple times before. For example, I bought a black no wrap P3 and a 12.9 Revo for $600 cash...

    Meucci's "The Pro Shaft"

    I've got a Meucci sneaky with a Pro shaft. It plays LD about like a McDermott G-Core shaft, maybe even a bit better in my opinion. It is certainly lower deflection than a standard non-dot Meucci shaft. Bear in mind that I had already started shooting with a Revo when I got the Pro shaft. For...

    How to maximize Taom Chalk

    I generally give it away at that point to someone that wants to try out more expensive chalk. Lets them do that and "forces" me to buy a new one. My current favorite is Kamui Roku. Who am i kidding? I usually have 2-3 more in my bag.

    Cue holder help

    I'd have to weigh it to be sure, but I think it's about half the weight of a 5 cue Q-claw and 3/4 the depth or less. I believe it's the same depth as a 2 cue Q-claw is wide. I bought this specfically to go into a JB 4x8 case with a jump cue pocket. Works very well for my use case.

    Cue holder help

    There is some flex to it but not a lot. I don't know exact numbers, but it's about the same weight as a 2 cue Q-claw in my opinion. I can weigh them later if someone wants exact numbers. It may just be my experience but it has worked well on many different surfaces for me.

    Can I move a 9' GC3 in a short bed pickup?

    Since you have an F150. you could also rent a 6x12 enclosed trailer from Uhaul or the like. In my area, they are $30/day.

    Can I move a 9' GC3 in a short bed pickup?

    This would be my suggestion as well. The extra $100 or so would be well worth it.

    Cue shaft: Best Bang for the Buck?

    I concur with the folks that say Rhino if you want a brand new shaft and don't mind carbon. They can usually be had for $180 direct from Rhino. Shipping time varies if it comes from the warehouse in Texas or directly from Vietnam. Be aware that the factory tip isn't great but it's playable...

    Back pain while playing

    Two things really helped me. I lost about 25 pounds and went to a naprapathic chiropractor. Turned out my lower spine was bulging forward and my lower vertebrae were splayed out in different directions. Wasn't cheap but eliminated probably 90% of my back pain in general and all of it playing...

    Karl Boyes reviewed a shaft from Temu recently and seemed to like it.

    Carbon Shaft comments, please

    I've played with a bunch. I currently own a Rhino, several Revos, Cynergy, gen 1 Defy, Siege and a Bull Carbon. Before carbon fiber, I shot with a McDermott i2 and had a no cat logo 314 as a backup. I still have these as well as a 314-1, 314-2, 314-3, OB-1, various diameter Avid and wood...

    I prefer 9 ball but I have a higher winning percentage at 8 ball.

    Predator True-splice (full splice)

    I have a 4 point Predator sneaky. It's a good stick but I tend to play with my P3 more often. Simply from my point of view, the butt doesn't make as much difference as the shaft does. Both play the same with a Revo shaft on them.
