    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    You can specify all of these things, but they likely already are prepared somewhere. I mean, you can ask Zen (仁杆) for just about anything you want, but most of what they are going to push to you is going to be selecting from parts they already have partially prepared. I would describe this as...

    Mosconi cup SOLUTION

    Gary Oldman used to play the part of a psychopath quite well - bit past his prime now, sadly

    Chinese 9 Ball

    They're quite 'dynamic' with rule changes, like policy in the Middle Kingdom, so hopefully it works out soon to something a little less time consuming in the future. Till then you have some butts to enjoy lol

    Mosconi cup SOLUTION

    Mosconi Cup solution = 3 parts of play better pool + 1 cup of don't choke the 9ball + a sprinkling of not being so wet (per 100ml of play)

    Chinese 9 Ball

    Chinese 9-ball is F lit. I recommend ignoring a large portion of the event and tuning in from the business end. Insanely good pool, and the pace of play isn't that bad.

    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    My observations here in China, would be that mass produced (in a new colour every season), and what I would call "Factory custom" are heavily outweighing true handmade, custom built cues. There is aggressive marketing from influencers and 'experts' There used to be a steady and observable...

    Mosconi Cup 2025, Dec. 3-6, Alexandra Palace, London

    Define subtle, because I would replace that with more suitable words, such as; cataclysmic, catastrophic, enormous

    FSR 2026 #1?

    FSR is phenomenal to watch when he's in flow. One of the players that made me really get into pool and take my pool more seriously.

    Introducing the new Bitman rack 😳

    Never has there been a more appropriate time to use the word 'guff'

    Good question, genuinely curious. All I have seen so far are Cuetec rests painted in different colours

    I found that quite funny coming from the biggest gimp in pool 😂 This was also hilarious 😂

    can you explain please this break shot by Yapp?

    Ah, I see, the cue is misaligned to the burn mark. That's what you mean. The burn mark is the intended line of travel, meeting at the point I described above. The cue is attempting to point at the desired striking position on the CB. As mentioned above, It's a hard stun, with a touch of outside...

    can you explain please this break shot by Yapp?

    I thought I was being helpful 😂 I can try draw some lines on later. You mean you want to see the lines through to the end of the table? Maybe it's just not the best photo, was hard to hold the cue steady with one hand, and picture with the other lol It’s not different, simply quite heavily...

    can you explain please this break shot by Yapp?

    As described, looking to go in and out to the rail at a straighter line to the 9 with more speed. This can be achieved with tip aligned with the meeting between 1-ball, and second row, through the ball with a slight flourish of the arm toward the outside (though not all of those players can be...

    can you explain please this break shot by Yapp?

    You can observe many players hitting the break in this fashion. Don't get me started on "deflection" :ROFLMAO: He's picked his spot on the 1-ball and on the side rail, he's factored in what needs to happen to get it there in relation to arm speed, and action on the ball. I'd say, like most...

    can you explain please this break shot by Yapp?

    I think most people have cottoned onto this (Ko bros, Kaci brothers - Kledio especially, and anyone else who gives it a bit of arm speed). It's quite common place here where I am living. I saw Yapp fannying around with weights in both playing and break cues for a long time here. Hours even. Most...

    can you explain please this break shot by Yapp?

    Put the ball around an inch inside from the box, and an inch back from the headstring. Line your tip up with the line you can see between the 1-ball and the ball that sits directly behind it. Hit it as described above. You want the CB to hit just below the middle diamond on the rail after...

    can you explain please this break shot by Yapp?

    half a tip below center, half a tip of outside (based on the movement of his cue - Ko brothers/Kaci brothers both also hit powerful, stun and they don't jerk the cue away like this) Around 20mph
