    Cyclone Pool Ball Cleaner

    Don’t Worry about Equipment man just Play !! It takes up to much of your time that you can use to perfect your game. Did Willie Mosconi or Fats worry about cleaning balls I think not. Just Play the Game and do the best you can with what you have.

    Aramith or not

    No , if you get the Dynasphere balls the cue ball is higher resin also so no need to buy the Aramith one. The Tungsten set has some ugly colors but for the price you can overlook that. A super Phenolic ball set for around 60-70 bux I don’t see how you can go wrong and you can try them out and...

    Probably set a record today. Launched the cue ball 7 times in a row off the table

    I can draw the Cueball the length of the Table (8 Ft ) with a lot of torque to speak. CJ Wiley helped me a lot on this. Cue placement and stroke has everything to do with it but you don’t hold the cue level. Go to his website and see what CJ does. Very effective

    Needless to Say we got that Squared away. But you know it Warms the Heart to know you care enough to ask. Good thing we are not in a pool Room because if they found out how sweet and kind you really are people would take advantage of you.

    Hello , Along with the new Premium Aramith set we also got some Aramith cleaner which you know what it is used for but it said something about taking static away maybe. I just wanted to ask if polishing a new set with the cleaner would maybe put a protective coat over the balls so they would...
