I bought a new set of super pros over a decade ago.. My jump/break cue has a canvas phenolic tip... I practice my break in sets of 15 at least 3 times a week usually 5 days a week.. I practice jumping in sets of 30 balls once a week.. And that's not even counting the actual games against my son...

Monday nights are for sparring with my practice partner Tuesday is AA VNEA Wednesday is local VNEA From early October to late April in non pandemic years.. Not sure what will happen this fall..:confused::confused:

That method gives you anecdotal evidence...but not empirical truth .. First you must develop a test that removes human error and confirmation bias.. Bob and Dave have been sorting the wheat from chaff in the pool world for decades.. they deserve respect for that work not derision and eye...

Thinking something and knowing something are two different things..

Ferrule material matters a lot.. I had a cue with ivorine 3 and there is not tool on earth that could face it without chipping... Finally gave up and replaced the entire ferrule..

The equipment is not the reason why.... Changing equipment will not fix it.. How much time do you spend practicing your break each day?

VNEA around here is pay once at the beginning of the season.. many sponsors cover this.. After that it's $1.50 every other game and ¢.75 each for the last game.. in quarters for coin op tables.

The cueball still squirts just not as much You forgot the straight pool/ one pocket break... The buisiness end of a LD shaft is almost always hollow some are filled with foam but it is still far far weaker than a normal maple shaft and will not stand up to breaking for long.. especially in...

Low deflection changes cueball path when english is applied it's also typically hollow and thus weaker than solid maple. If you're applying english on the break fix your break..

I use pressed triangles I go through 1 every 2 years or so... haven't used a shaper in over a decade...never had a mushroom..

I end my daily practice by breaking 15 racks. After the last one I run the final balls off left handed.. I'm not as good as with my right, but after years of practice I am familiar enough with it to choose opposite hand instead of a mechanical bridge for many easy shots on the far end of the...

One great reason for app based forums you can ban based on MAC address. now that doesn't stop everyone from coming back but eventually they run out of devices.. and once you get to the point of buying a new device for each single post In a pissing match 99.9% are going to nope out.

Bought brand new super pros almost 15 years ago.. played the hell out of them...still do.. they are still flawless Buy some new ones and be done... stop *****ing that the " bargain" balls are not perfect.. if they were perfect they wouldn't be so cheap...

The subject does not need a forum it only needs a thread....

the end of the shaft has more give and jumping requires compressing the cueball

the minor masse effect needed to curve around the edge of a ball is my main contention for "squirt is useful" the less deflection a shaft has the more difficult it becomes to make the same shot...not saying it can't be learned.. but it IS more difficult.. less deflection means you need more...

if you can generate more swerve which means more english and more extreme compensations.... vs .. 2 tips of right and jack up a little bit

Squirt is useful...

I practice 8 ball by playing what I call stripes vs solids... stripes always tries to get out at all costs.. solids plays safe and ducks until all his balls are free and then tries to run out... since starting this my safety game has substantially improved
