    Efren using a cue with an all blue wrap

    Looks like 3M Painter's Tape...lol https://www.amazon.com/ScotchBlueTM-Painters-Tape-Core-Yd/dp/B00004Z4DU Maybe he just doesn't like the Predator logo...assuming it's the Predator butt with the Z3 shaft he was using before.

    Great way to study Alison Fischer's stroke

    She always pauses on the front and back of her last stroke. http://youtu.be/BS2bNIiHzlM?t=1m46s

    Throwing opponent's chalk on the floor

    Is this a foul?

    Hard to tell. Maybe it's just resting on the cushion I didn't see any bounce back. https://youtu.be/YIPOWyZbtwE?t=10m8s

    Vapor Gloves

    Has anyone tried the Vapor gloves? https://www.seyberts.com/vapor-gloves/ I really like the fact that the thumb is closed on the one with the exposed fingers. One of my complaints against the Molinari and Kamui is that the thumb is also open. Can't tell you how often the skin of the thumb...

    Did Shane cheat?

    Probably not but I have been asking that BCA make a rule of NO chalk on the table at any time. Similar to Snooker. We all have plenty of pockets to stick that thing in. At this moment you can see Shane pick up the Master and go out of his way to move the Predator chalk further down rail...

    Tools Of The Trade - Billiards Digest

    Several pros are asked questions about their cues. The answers are quite interesting. My favorite portion was "Fill in the Blank" towards the bottom. http://www.billiardsdigest.com/new_current_issue/apr_17/bb_index.php

    Hohmann loses to Ko because of the Cyclop balls

    Hohmann loses this game and with it possibly the match. Cue balls totally rolls off path and falls right into the pocket. They try it after the game but it won't to it then. Probably rolling too hard. 1:37:47 shot is coming up. https://youtu.be/0Tv2GEfmDzw?t=1h37m47s This is from 2014...

    To the Mezz shaft experts. Two questions

    Does Mezz make a joint that fits a Radial joint? (sometimes called uni-lock radial) https://www.seyberts.com/pins Very interested in trying the Mezz Ex Pro on one of my cues. Also, when Mezz says a shaft has a "Wavy Joint" what threads exactly is that? Thanks

    Cyclop traditional color vs. TV (skittles) color

    There's a 50 dollar difference in price between the two. Are the skittles colored balls that much better than the traditional colored balls? https://www.seyberts.com/pool-ball-sets

    Pool cue butt width vs. Snooker cue

    Does any of the makers on here know why snooker cues generally have thinner butts vs. pool cues? On Paris Cues (one of the top snooker cue makers) there is this information (I'm adding the inches measurements): https://www.parriscues.com/faqs/ 27mm is very slim (1.06 inches) 28mm to 28.5mm...

    Your Grip

    Do you open up your hand on the back swing of your stroke, like here: https://youtu.be/V8ydK652FnE?t=1m4s I typically don't use the pinky, it's kinda in the air, even on break shots. Do you keep a death grip or do you open up the fingers as you move backwards in your stroke?

    One-Stop Cue Tip Shaper Tool

    Has anyone tried this? https://youtu.be/1_4LpOFw3ow And if so please share your thoughts. Looks gimmicky, but I guess you never know until you try it.

    Women seem less likely to wear a glove

    Why does it seem that women are less likely to wear a glove? I'm not saying there are none who do, just looks like it's a lot fewer than the men. I've been watching several female matches and none of the one's I've seen so far seem to have this need that the men do to wear a glove. Seems...

    Players who break with their play cues

    We all know about Shane, now it looks like Hohmann is in that group too, at least for the 10 ball and I think 9 too. https://youtu.be/rkwEm9xhAAY?t=48m15s Who else of the top players is breaking with their playing cue? Here is a description from a cue maker who seems to be just fine with...

    Predator shaft comparison. 314 vs Vantage

    Does anyone know why Predator says the Vantage is more accurate at high speeds than the 314-3? Sounds a little weird to me but I just wanted to know if there's anything to this claim. On top of that the 314 seems to be the least accurate at slow speeds as well...

    Reasons behind the Ivory ban

    I know this is a sensitive subject but to wipe out nearly a third of all elephants in only seven years is a pretty serious deal. Surely we can survive and keep playing pool just fine without contributing to this...
