    Practice cue ball vs normal

    I don't think it makes ANY difference in breaking or play. That is not the purpose. I own an Elephant training ball set (and several others I have picked up through the years). The trainers I own have different purposes. Most have markings to teach aiming. Rempe training balls teach the...

    Which production cue maker would you buy from?

    My Viking has a standard Vpro shaft. Haven't ever played one of the others. Also use a G2 m tip I have been very pleased with. It truly plays soft and old school. My J Flowers CF plays with MUCH less deflection but contrary to many here, I see that as only different, not necessarily better...

    Which production cue maker would you buy from?

    I could not be happier with my Viking. They actually offer 4 different joint configurations so you get the hit and feel you prefer. Standard is a 13mm tip but they can turn that all the way down to about as small as you like. They offer a myriad of tips to choose from. Their styles are...

    Can cheap balls ruin your felt?

    For $100 I would absolutely buy Dynaspheres or UPPER END Aramith. Just because a box says phenolic it doesn't mean high phenolic content. Even Aramith admits their sets below SAP have a lower phenolic content and are less quality. Any other set is suspect.

    Missed the money ball. Why?

    My solution when ever I hit this wall is to go home, throw about a dozen assorted 8 balls (I have a pretty big collection) on the table and shoot nothing but 8's for a couple hours, days whatever until I see it as just the next shot. It doesn't help in the moment of course, but it's mandatory...

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    You will absolutely LOVE these Arcos II Balls. Most durable set I have ever used. The cue ball seems to be almost completely impervious to chalk marks and miscue marks! Even with TAOM V2 chalk which is among the more "sticky" chalks I have tried. These look and play WONDERULLY. Hope you...

    Puerto Rico Open 10 Ball, Men & Women (Nov 15-18), Winner $25K (Men)/$20K (Women)

    Thank you so much for posting this! BTW... Fat Boy... I am having a GREAT deal of difficulty discerning the 6 from the 8 on this broadcast! Should we make the 6 ball some shade of purple?

    The Sardo Rack

    This is why I mentioned the distraction of getting the template off of the table. I own the Outsville rack, and while better, it DOES still cause roll if a slow moving ball hits it. Also Outsville leaves color marks on the balls. They told me it doesn't and I had one from a bad batch and...

    i filmed myself shooting. I Dont like what I see

    Thank you. I fixed it. Just typing faster than I was thinking (imagine that) and not proofreading my work. I appreciate your inner English teacher.

    The Sardo Rack

    The most consistent rack is a template. There is no exception to that I have found. I really like my wood rack, and have used a metal Delta Elite rack which I think is the best physical rack available, but the template REMAINS on the table to HOLD the balls in place. The down side to the...

    i filmed myself shooting. I Dont like what I see

    Video is a modern day gift in athletics. I used video of my self for a year and was coached by Anthony Beeler who watched every video and helped me clean up my game. After playing regularly for over 25 years, video helped my game tremendously. In 1 year I progressed more than all the other...

    Warning Signs of Billiardism

    Hi I'm Piper and I suffer from B.A.D. Billiards Acquisition Disorder and I am a Billiardholic. I only saw 3 in the list that have never been me. I almost always play alone at home and wish I had a neighbor who enjoyed the game as much h as me. My wife doesn't really enjoy the game, and...

    Best value billiard balls (Aramith Regulation Size Crown Standard)?

    I literally own about 22 sets. Dyna Palladium and Tungsten, Centennials, Arcos II, Duramith, Elephant, Vigma, and quite a few other brands. All play about the same. Certainly all of the first 5 are fantastic and consistent. Honestly, I would put the Vigma brands in top tier as well. The...

    Private pool club - how many members for a 6 table club?

    You would do VERY WELL to contact Red Dragon Billiards Club in Massachusetts. They have been in business successfully doing sort of what you are thinking of and have done it right for quite a while. The owner is very kind and knowledgeable. https://www.facebook.com/reddragonbilliards/...
