    Lift verses Warp

    Well...I'm just curious how much % straighter is your stroke with those perfectly straight shafts? I've seen some almost perfectly straight shafts which I did not care at all when it comes to how they played and on the other hand I've played with some "ugly" shafts that hit so good... As a...

    Wood vs. Carbon Fiber cue ball squirt (with a twist)

    The main question is what one tries to achieve with solid cf shaft? If one likes the feel of a solid maple shaft ... is used to certain deflection it has and it works best for him why bother what is out there? If somebody looks for a minimal deflection in a shaft there are just enough options to...

    Fedor Gorst vs Jeff de Luna 10-ball, race to 100 is coming soon...

    All good points. My sight at De Luna's better chances in 9-ball was based on his better break in that game comparing to 10-ball. I guess it is just not so simple ... of course the break is important but there is much more in the game to consider ... mental strength and so on ... the results at...

    Fedor Gorst vs Jeff de Luna 10-ball, race to 100 is coming soon...

    So as they'll play 10-ball after watching Fedor participating in recent tournaments vs 10-ball qhost for points ... well I see his 10-ball break improves a lot, his CB control is amazing and pretty consistent. As I said in the last match vs Gomez ...Jeff's break did not work...who knows may be...

    Fedor Gorst vs Jeff de Luna 10-ball, race to 100 is coming soon...

    That is exactly my perception ... what feeds my curiousity ... both JF and FG when they were not picked by Marcus Chamat for MC team ...after that both of them had their motivation used as the boost to take the most prestigious title immidiately after the cup and their dreams came truth... So...

    Fedor Gorst vs Jeff de Luna 10-ball, race to 100 is coming soon...

    Honestly I'm curious if TS has any interest to use this opportunity... his break in 10-ball is also pretty good and I remember not so long ago some people claimed he's gonna be in top-10 in the world in the next ...some years... So I guess here is a good chance for some test;)...

    Fedor Gorst vs Jeff de Luna 10-ball, race to 100 is coming soon...

    I just saw a poster on FB. Looking forward to some action soon... So as Fedor is coming to USA I believe there might be some more to follow. Considering how much work Fedor had put in his break ... especially in 10-ball it's gonna be quite a mission for the opponent. After watching the recent...

    Carbon fiber tube reviews

    My first experience was more than a year ago when my curiousity motivated me to buy a blank from one of the chinese suppliers. It was just an experiment and my first try to build a cf shaft for myself. After it was finished I've tested it at the table and I did not like it at all. I'm not sure...

    When did getting low on the cue happen?

    Billiards as a sport at its highest level and as a game to have some fun, gambling and so on are completely different animals. I've seen some hustlers who had some fun playing piramid one handed and being quite successful playing with those bangers they choose...but it never made me think that...

    When did getting low on the cue happen?

    So is it a surprise sport at its highest level is not for those who dream to become more healthy? No matter what is your obsession you'll have to sacrifice something ... especially if we're talking about the highest level. I graduated from the national university of physical education and sports...

    What's in your case?

    The cues I've built to meet my needs and preferences when it comes to construction, woods and so on. Still love the wood for my shafts ... hard maple for playing, purple heart for breaking & jumping. There are always some cubes of chalk I like in my case, the gift from my teacher Jorgen Sandman...

    Jeffrey Deluna’s cue weight

    So as we are used to measure the weight in gramms here while it is in oz's in the USA I guess there could be some miscalculations made pretty easily. There is possibility some players are much better in playing the game than with some math;).

    Jeffrey Deluna’s cue weight

    Like 19 oz is pretty average weight for a pool cue 25 oz is tha same average for a piramid cue. I won't state no way Stalev's piramid cue weight is 28 oz but if so it is at least as much odd as playing pool with 25 oz cue. What I do know for sure he used to play pool with a cue made by one of...

    Carbon shaft joint question

    So as you cannot make threads because of cf tube there are not so many options there. It is more about quality of your work ... how good = close to the tube taper at the joint end you make the insert, what material used, its length and such. Certain weight, balance, feel you want to get is the...

    Becue Dark Matter Break Cue Question

    When it comes to the taper, tip diameter, what kind of finish and any details when it comes to the specifications... manufacturer is the best side to ask. Anything like how does it feel, works and such of course is completely another story and nothing replaces having your own experience with...

    So as I was very lucky to start learning this game in the National university of physical education and sports of Ukraine with the best teacher/mentor I ever had Jorgen Sandman who was invited to prepare a group of coaches so to help in promoting pool in our country. I studied billiards in our...

    Break Cue Tip

    Like with everything it is very much a matter of preference ... what you're looking for and what works for you. First of all it is so much a matter of feel when it comes to performing a good break shot ... once you're good at hitting it square with a certain speed then you could try and feel how...
