    [FS] John Bender #146

    I had John build this for me back in 2017 when I was trying to get serious. Life took over and I really haven't had time to be active. It probably has less than 8 hours of use on it. Total Length - 58" Butt Length - 29” Weight - Didn't have anything around to get the weight. If you're...

    Practice Routine?

    Hey Greg, I have no intentions on glossing over the fundamentals. Could you elaborate a little on the "robotic routine" and points I should be focusing on while executing my shots?

    Practice Routine?

    Way ahead of you. Found that out my very first post. Although I stated that I was using the system, I found the believers to be more annoying and insulting than the non believers. Either way, I've found some success using it. I'd say I've increased my shot making about 10-15% so I'm going to...

    Practice Routine?

    Lately I've been thinking about better ways to practice. I started playing seriously about two months ago and I get to the table on average twice a week for a few hours. As of right now, I'm just setting up basic shots and practicing CTE Pro One visuals and sweeps. I spent about 2 hours working...

    High End Shops in NJ

    Anyone know any good high end shops I can go try some cues out in NJ. I travel quite a bit so NY and Philly are options too.

    What's hurt pool since I've been working in and around it for the last 34yrs.

    The Internet is my favorite reason on that list

    New Here? - Introduce Yourself

    What's up everyone. Joined a couple weeks ago. Got some pretty harsh backlash in my first post for asking a question about CTE so I learned fast that we got some crazies here haha. Anyway, been casually playing pool since I was a teenager but decided about 2 months ago I was going to take it a...

    CTE Pro One Sweeps

    Do you guys have any tips on locking down the Pro One Sweeps? I can't seem to get them consistent especially the inside sweep. This is becoming a source of real frustration for me. I'm pretty sure I have my perceptions locked down. Then I go in with the sweep and take the shot and its all...

    Help Me Make My Decision

    What custom cue maker would you recommend? I actually spoke to a custom builder from north jersey and he said he started at $1000 and that he builds the whole cue. I couldn't really get out of him if it was possible to get a butt built that would be a standard size and joint where I could switch...

    Help Me Make My Decision

    So I've been reading, looking, and shopping around for a few weeks now. I've never owned my own cue before so I don't really know anything besides some of the info I can regurgitate from reading for the past few weeks. I wanted a plain looking cue, preferably black. I was pretty set on a...

    Beginning Player Working On CTE

    ehhh wrong. Whats wrong with you guys? This has to be the lamest shit I've ever encountered on a forum. To dispel all these stupid claims about an alias, go to The Gear Page, Home Recording, The Acoustic Guitar Forum, or TDPRI and search my username. I'm a musician and have been posting on...

    Beginning Player Working On CTE

    OK, so I seriously have no idea what kind of turmoil CTE has caused some users here but this is just ridiculous. I don't know anyone here, I've never spoken to anyone besides my childhood friends about pool (and they definitely don't post on this forum), and I've never registered to this forum...

    Plain Cue

    Thanks for that suggestion. I think I'm close to making up my mind. I'm highly considering a Mezz at this point. Their AXI-K is almost exactly what I want except for the wrap. Checking if they can do a custom wrap for me. Thanks again.
