Yes, that's a similar concept but I was making a more exaggerated effort to keep the shoulder behind my head.

In regards to my butt hand being too far back, is my bridge length off or am I okay using the same bridge length while trying to keep my forearm closer to 90 degrees? And I like the idea of only using backswing length to determine shot speed, unless it's like a very soft touch safety like you...

Thank you, those kinds of shots are very satisfying IMO. He's a strong APA 7 (who likely went a little easy on me so I'd have some footage to share) and had no problem with it.

I have a tendency to poke more on low/center ball shots for some reason, I really have to work on that

The rightmost table, with the plaid shirt and the green cue

Usually Predator is good about this stuff

I get what you're saying, but it will still be interesting to me to see if someone new can add an 8 ball championship to their belt

Yeah I don't see why today's players would have worse strokes, even the female players can consistently draw and force follow from considerable length

I couldn't believe the commentators were unaware of the frozen ball rule! That's something I'd expect from an APA 4

I don't agree with making the pockets extremely small (like 3.9 inches) but I wouldn't want them to go back to say, 5 inches either. 4 1/8 seems to be a sweet spot for pros, but I do think the Predator side pockets are too harsh. Ko Ping Chung can hang with the 4 you mentioned

I find that the game (as a spectator sport) is less fan friendly if you know the first person to make a ball has a 95% chance of winning the rack

I have to disagree, the small pockets + modern break rules are what makes pro rotation pool watchable. WIthout this, it would be a constant break and run fest (like men's pro 8 ball tends to be).

I would hope so but Seybert's claims "genuine sharkskin" and the shark trade is unfortunate problem in East Asia

I would be interested in buying one if they stopped using shark leather

I think they're the best looking production cues on average. Even the cheaper ones have nice ringwork and nice finishes.

I did exactly that and I love it. I paid $380 for a beautiful rainbow stained one on Black Friday, and I love it. The cue is beautiful and the shaft plays excellent (in my opinion).

Aloysius Yapp and Chezka Centeno switched to carbon, but I believe the latter is now endorsed by Cuetec and they don't even sell wood shafts. On the flip side, Jason Shaw and Carlo Biado switched back to wood.

The same thing still applies, Matchroom doesn't have some big deal with Netflix to stream pool matches

I will say that the Predator events are more fun to watch (probably an unpopular opinion on here) I like the set format, the shootout, the hand racks, the blue cloth (vs cold looking grey), and the camera angles.
