    Worst and best cue you have ever used

    I did not have many cues in my 22 years in this game. I guess I was just lucky to have the best teacher/coach/mentor in my life Jorgen Sandman who helped so much to promote pool in my country and without him we would not have billiards among the other kinds of sports in our National university...

    I'm watching snooker on matchroom and I wondered, why don't they use wrap?

    They need one as much as the dog needs a fifth paw ... and there is so much sense in your question;).

    Shaft weight matter? My jacoby black arrived.

    Well it totally depends on if you got what you ordered .... expected and if you're happy with your purchase. Based on you needed a caliper to get to know you did not get a 12,3 mm shaft you might not have that certain preference in tip size yet which means your chances to get used to it and be...

    Gun Drill/Coring Sizing

    It is really so much about the goals and motivations that guide you in your cue-building. There are different ways to get the task made ... depending on the equipment and the tools in your possession. For example when it comes to my major concern when building a cue ... that certain hit I'm...

    Shaft weight matter? My jacoby black arrived.

    Well if you know for sure the average weight of their shafts with similar joints is between 3.4-3.6 oz and yours is 0.5 z heavier it's strange. As far as I know there are already two or three generations / versions of Jacoby Black so they could make some changes in the process but the main thing...

    Shaft weight matter? My jacoby black arrived.

    Does it have a brass insert (let's say 5/16-14 or unilock) or doesn't (for example radial or 3/8-10)?

    after watching mosconi, I'm gona buy a cf shaft.

    Personally I have no problem with what others like, prefer, think ... whatsoever ... What I don't want ... doing something because of all those marketers try to make me believe ... Am I even allowed to love what stands out / makes me being passionate or does not match their's interests? I know...

    after watching mosconi, I'm gona buy a cf shaft.

    His game was already on a downward trajectory before he started to switch and the equipment just has nothing to do with that ... It is so much more complicated to fix what is going on inside your mind... If to be any serious you'd better look into such things as tip diameter, the taper, joint...

    after watching mosconi, I'm gona buy a cf shaft.

    Simply it may be because for 569$ you have a wide choice of two options either wavy or united...they are really good at motivating you to get it together with their butt...I like the way and that feel their joints screw together though and yes you also might be lucky and their united shaft fits...

    after watching mosconi, I'm gona buy a cf shaft.

    There were only two brands represented there so your choice is much more simple now. Current world 9-ball played with the Cynergy while ranked #1 Kaci ( as it was mentioned in a profile) played with Revo so as Albin. On the team that was beaten SVB and Billy played with a Cynergy so even it is...

    Something is wrong with Team USA

    You can write a book trying to describe what needs to be done ...how should be organized and so on. You had Johan who I believe tried his best to explain what needs to be done...there was very informative interview with him on the radio after his first year with your team. So there are no...

    Jayson Shaw’s Long Cue

    That's true and he's sponsored by Peri cues.

    Jayson Shaw’s Long Cue

    As for me among the pros most naturally looking with a longer cue is Ruslan Chinakhov but he is around 6'5" and uses 6 or 8" extension on his Mezz or Exceed butt.

    Jayson Shaw’s Long Cue

    Look for example at Fedor who is not any less when it comes to height...plays standard length cue with his grip usually at the butt sleeve. If you watch Jayson closely especially where his grip is...on most shots it is on the wrap area with so much of the rest with extension behind. It looks...

    Mosconi Cup Day Two

    So after this session it's "good morning and good bye" for the team in a red corner. It was a "Shaw time" ...obvious candidate for MVP-title. As I mentioned earlier the meaning of that point in a starting match today was huge for getting that boost and the confidence for team Europe...

    Mosconi Cup Day One

    So as the starting match of day 2 is a fan's choice ...well I have a feeling that a rematch of the last match of MC 2019 might get the most votes... At least this match got my vote and if it happens it's going to be a very important one for the session and the winning side getting the momentum...

    Mosconi Cup Day One

    I expect a better level of playing tomorrow...hopefully as it was in the last match and surely it was a huge point for team USA at the end of the session. Without fans it is a completely another story and not to a better side at least for me. Hopefully it is the first one like this in a history...

    did your revo come in "fat"?

    The only thing that really matters if you're happy with what you received as a customer. It is not wood and with cf when it comes to the tube it should stay as you got it. In our school we have a kid who got a nice package / gift from his parents - both playing cue with Revo 12.4 and a breaker...

    Mosconi winner this year

    It would be not so bad if they are right so we would get to know the winner on the 4th day of the event with some heat and intrigar at the end. It would be great for production and tv-audience would appreciate it. The chances we might know the winner earlier are not so small to say at least ...

    Review on the cuetec cynergy 11.8mm shaft

    Unfortunately I didn't have possibilty to try a 11.8 Cynergy yet but I had some time with a 12.5 and I can tell I liked it a lot. If I did not have my new hobby building some cues and needing not a standard length so on who knows... When it comes to deflection it is not a major benefit of cf...
