    Bulletproof Recoil tips 7 month later

    To tell you the truth, I am not sure one way or another, I just assume it was perfectly even when it was installed. The guy that installed it is very meticulous and professional, though. I got to believe it has happened over time, ever so slightly, but not 100% sure. Also, I am going to start...

    Stolen Cues

    That's like a Pechauer I have, very nice wood grain on yours. Pechauer Pro Series P03N. Hope you get it back.

    Bulletproof Recoil tips 7 month later

    Of the issues I have mentioned, the only one that really bothers me is the abrasiveness that seems to be more predominant on the bulletproof tips then a leather tip. I still think the mushrooming is much less on these tips then soft leather tips. Also, I don't get anymore miscues from the...

    Bulletproof Recoil tips 7 month later

    I have been playing Bulletproof blue soft for about 7 months now. I noticed a bit of mushrooming on it, by feeling with my fingers it is just noticeable. I took some calipers and measured in two locations, first right by the ferrule, and secondly, at it's widest spot. The difference is...

    12.5 Cynergy f/s

    Is it just me or are those pictures really blurry. If they are that blurry, they are really useless.

    Fair Advertising ?

    No, same cue, but with the new, originally ordered, wrap installed.

    Fair Advertising ?

    Ok, so here's an update on my cue/leather wrap situation. I have attached a photo showing the new wrap, and evidently they installed the wrong wrap last time. They backed up their return policy and installed a proper wrap, I originally ordered, for free. Check out the photo below, as now this is...

    Fair Advertising ?

    It looks more vibrant and full colored in the ad, and the important part I was after was how the turquoise lines that went around the black background stood out so well. In real life it is not like that and I think advertising could be much fairer. With that in mind, I have to disagree with your...

    Fair Advertising ?

    I did just that today. I got a prepackaged label from The Pool Store and took it over to the UPS Store packaged up to have a different route put on it. I just didn't think it had the pizzazz near that I wanted,

    Pool play that irritates you!

    Well, I will start it off. I play with a group of players a couple times a week, mixed company in terms of gender, skill level, but all have the same desire to win. Probably about 8 to 12 of us play in tournaments we make up for a few hours. I am probably one of the best in the group, but there...

    Fair Advertising ?

    Here is a photo I took on my pool table in LED lighting, which really brings out colors nicely, as you can see from the q-tech cue I am comparing it to. You can see the red on the the q-tec is vibrant and alive, as opposed to the wrap on the cue that is of question. Actually, in the original...

    Fair Advertising ?

    I am looking for opinions as to whether anybody feels this is good advertising, or unfair advertising. I was looking for something a bit radical/like neon blue in a leather wrap so I went with the black blue impression shown in the photo. I attached another photo of what the wrap actually looks...

    NEW Bulletproof Synthetic Playing Tips.

    Does using a bulletproof synthetic 'playing tip' for breaking cause it any damage, compression, mushrooming, or cracking?

    Could a person use their bp recoil tip, s,m, or hard as both playing cue and break cue?

    Can these tips be put on break cues?

    Bulletproof Recoil tips 7 month later

    If you take playing pool somewhat seriously, you will care what kind of tip you have on your stick. It does matter, and those that are very good at pool are very selective on what tip they use.

    Bulletproof Recoil tips 7 month later

    Ahh, ok, I didn't know that they were m/h tips, I have never used them. For those folks who enjoy a soft tip and don't want the mushrooming, the bulletproof is a great substitute for that. They most likely will never mushroom. What a pita it is shaving the bulged out mushroomed area with a tip...

    Bulletproof Recoil tips 7 month later

    You didn't mention the softness or hardness of each tip. My bulletproof, blue, is soft and is much better than soft leather tips in that it will not mushroom like they will.

    Bulletproof Recoil tips 7 month later

    I have a bulletproof soft tip on one of my playing cues, and I love it. I have let 700 Fargo players tested out for me and see what they thought, and they could not find anything negative to say about it. I do notice a little bit different sound when hitting the cue ball, but that's not a big...

    Good Books to Learn From

    To me, it might have a few good points, but it's hard to pick them out from all the BS information. It's almost like if the author can talk real far above your thinking process, it must be good rhetoric. That book is very confusing to me, and I feel it is a complete waste of time!
