    Rhino carbon fiber

    I have a rhino on my break cue and my break tops out at about 20 mph.

    Rhino carbon fiber

    I would love to see a photographic comparison between the rhino shaft and a Revo or Cynergy. I own all three of them, and would love to see the inside wall of each of them. I know it might not be possible, but that would be very interesting.

    FORCE FOLLOW Technique Advice and Shot Examples … Topspin Mastery

    The below attributes of carbon fiber are the reason I like them so much, and probably everybody else as well that uses them. Deflection, I don't think I am advanced enough to make this a part of my decision making as to playing carbon fiber or not. I like the look, feel, and durability of carbon...

    Diamonds clearly bank shorter than most other if not all tables…so, why?

    I would guess that there is more ob slide on a harder cushion then a more responsive rubber cushion, like I would imagine diamonds having. I have noticed difference in banking on the diamond tables as opposed to other tables at the pool hall. It seems like night and day to me.

    FORCE FOLLOW Technique Advice and Shot Examples … Topspin Mastery

    Was going to start a thread on following with the cue ball advise, but come across this one. Though it is about a year old I loved the video and it will help me. I have only been playing about a year and a half, and can draw the ball quite well, but the follow has been my difficult for me. I...

    Problems playing certain people

    Sometimes, but sometimes he roams around the table looking at my next shot to see if I can make it or not.

    Problems playing certain people

    I tried hinting at his continuous whining, but he just doesn't get it. Instead of hurting his feelings I just won't play with him anymore. It seems counterintuitive, but it just gets under my skin. He has been accused of sharking before from an individual on the other team when I played with him...

    I agree, Predator is responsible for any product they put their name on. In the matter of cases, they have failed.

    your paying too much for cues

    I never said it was most effective, but gravity has a tendency to help straighten out a slight warp.

    your paying too much for cues

    I know some guys who hang their cues by the tip end to keep them straight.

    your paying too much for cues

    I have bought a few cues lately, and I don't expect to play any better with them then previous cues I have purchased. Strangely enough, the first cue I owned was a Cuetec Avid Era Sneaky Pete style it has a glass coated wood shaft that is very good quality for the price, $240. I play just as...

    Problems playing certain people

    Here is an individual that I had a hard time playing with the other day, and I finally packed up my cue and went home. He is a very good player, knows his way around the table and occasionally runs the table. The issue is, every shot he makes he has a comment on. For example, on a slight cut 3/4...

    Play the table not the player

    I think it is a ridiculous saying , 'play the table not your opponent'. I play differently when I play different caliber players. When I play better players in myself I try to keep them locked up and make more of a chess match out of the game. Lesser players I don't worry about that so much...

    Problems playing certain people

    I have problems playing against sandbaggers. I solved this problem by playing in no handicap leagues.

    Wood Shaft v CF

    I was skeptical prior to ordering a rhino CF shaft, but really am pleased with it. A bunch of guys I play pool with weekly also purchased one and like it as well. I haven't heard of anybody who dislikes them.

    Wood Shaft v CF

    I own two Rhino carbon fiber shafts, one for my plane cue, and one for my brake cue. They both cost me under $200 each. Where can you get a decent wood shaft for under $200? There are some nice wood shafts Cuetec makes for their Avid Era cues for about $150, but for about $40 more you can get a...

    Well I wish their cases would have been made better. I have both the metro and the Urbain and the shoulder strap that is sewn on the bag has almost torn off on both of them after a few months of use. The sport bag is poorly designed as well, with the carry handle located 3/4 of the way up the...

    I like the way you phrased your post, I agree. I guess I have some dislike for predator equipment because of a couple cases I bought from them where the shoulder strap is tearing off too soon.

    Fargo rule question

    I know I'm missing something, and I did read the above post prior to yours, but the info in your post and the prior one by Mike page seems a bit redundant in makeup. I divided this post up with just spacing to try to make my point. I'm not sure what I'm missing?
