    Benefits of Bridging at the EFFECTIVE PIVOT LENGTH of a Shaft

    I thank you Dr Dave for all your hard work and help you have given me and to the sport, like with any Dr., the patient must be willing to take the medicine and then diligently do the rehab, the beauty of this game is, so far, perfection has been unattainable, every day you truly work at it the...

    Have you heard about Titlist chalk (by Dr. V's Custom Shop) before SVB's recent announcement?

    You are correct, the difference is cleaner hands, cleaner table, I am getting about 1 1/2 years out of 1 round of TAOM V10 chalk and I practice at LEAST an hour a day and usually more so I figured it is costing me about 25 cents a week, a great value to me.

    Have you heard about Titlist chalk (by Dr. V's Custom Shop) before SVB's recent announcement?

    I've been using Dr V's magnetic chalk holder for years, He is more than a stand up guy, I ordered the wrong chalk holder, the magnetic is the same, and is ridiculously strong, but there are different chalk holders, long story short, he stopped the day before Thanksgiving to send me the proper...

    Traditional wood shafts making comeback?

    In my experience shaft size does not as much difference with a CF shaft compared to a wood shaft, I own 11.8, 12.0 and 12.4 CF shafts, I use Becue cues and their shafts are designed for different hits, my 11.8 and 12.4 play like a CF shaft, my 12.0 is designed to play more like a wooden shaft...

    Traditional wood shafts making comeback?

    Whenever I tried a new tip I always played with it for 2 months whether I liked it or not, sometimes the switch was great at first but changed hardness right away, wore quickly, or "new tip" nirvana was gone, I've been using Bulletproof Recoil tips for almost 2 years now and have no plans to...

    Traditional wood shafts making comeback?

    There was a thread about trying new tips, one of the posters said he had been using the same tip for 40 years, what tip would you recommend for him? I would say the same one he's been using for 40 years, I would say the same thing for all equipment, if you love what you are using there is no...

    Most popular Carbon fiber shaft size?

    I haven't tried a Whyte Carbon, MOST CF shafts are a tube with a seam that is foam filled, Becue shafts are spun and have no seam, you can get them up to 31" in length, I know they cost more but a couple of hundred bucks spread out over 10 years isn't enough to talk about, the cue I owned...

    Most popular Carbon fiber shaft size?

    The Prime II shaft taper is longer than 18", way longer, Becue's shafts do not have a seam in them like most CF shafts do, they are spun as one solid shaft, I loved the Engage shaft, I love the Prime II shaft even more, to me it's has the best balance of solid CF hit and feedback like a wood...

    Most popular Carbon fiber shaft size?

    I own 2 of them, it is a great shaft, Becue does things a little different than any cue company I know, instead of trying to build the "one" shaft everyone is going to love, they build shafts for different types of hit, I wouldn't get to hung up on shaft size with CF, 11.8 to 12.3 is 1/2 of 1mm...

    Is your most often used cue and favorite cue, the same?

    A pool cue can transfer cue efficiently or it can rob power from your stroke, I'll give you it's not as complicated as a car, but there is technology that goes into building a cue that plays exceptionally.

    Is your most often used cue and favorite cue, the same?

    There is a correlation here that my teammate noticed, the engineers at Becue were pool players before they started building cues, their intent was to bring to pool what CF brought to golf, a pool cue can't add power to your stroke but it can certainly rob power from your stroke, I remember when...

    Is your most often used cue and favorite cue, the same?

    Pool cues are a tool for pool player as a car is a tool for a driver, my cue is the best tool for me that I have found, this of course is subjective, you could hate my cue, it doesn't mean my cue is bad, it only means it's not the right cue for you.

    I'll put it like this, I can drive a 25mph S curve in my Sentra at 40mph, I can drive that same S curve in my friends Z28 at 60mph, same driver with a better tool.....
