    NEW Mezz line....................

    I cannot see a ferrule over there and I might like the hit because my current playing shaft has just a fiber vault plate too. Good to see them offering a ferrule less shaft too.

    Mosconi Cup Poll: Team USA or Team Europe?

    Lets look at this point of view. What is more likely to see? - team Europe with their poor or so-so performance two years in a row? - team USA with their best performance this year too? If we look at the latest results at the International Open: 3 out of 5 europeans who are on board finished...

    Break cue stuff, again.

    ^^^^^that is the best advise you can get. So the work on your technique first. Yes, some equipment allows you to hit using slightly less power to get a nice spread which leads to a better accuracy. But still you need a good stroke to be consistenly successful on the break. Good luck)

    Who will be ready to play the same game with Shane now?

    If they settle this match It doesn't matter to me how they're going to name it because I would not want to miss it anyway. If to choose the only player from Europe to match up with SVB Joshua is the best candidate at the moment (imho). What I like about him as a player: he seems to be a...

    Who will be ready to play the same game with Shane now?

    That match is on youtube...https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gMubq3BzQhc I can tell I have all my respect to SVB as one of the greatest players and I've just mentioned my short list of the players I would be interested to watch battling with him in such a long race game;)

    Who will be ready to play the same game with Shane now?

    Yes, I'd be pleased to watch Ko Ping Chung vs SVB as often as possible too. So he's on my list too;). His comeback vs SVB in US-Open 9-ball 2018 was something I'll never forget and I like to watch him playing too. K.Kaci... definitely really talented player with solid fundamentals but when it...

    Who will be ready to play the same game with Shane now?

    In such a looong race match like it was a race to 120 and even to 100 I guess there is no way the streamer will get a lot of viewers from the different time zone. Somebody like me who is crazy enough about pool to watch a great battle with players like SVB but being from Europe...well it means...

    Justin Bergman going to Mosconi Cup for Team USA

    This time I'll better just say I'm so anxious and looking forward to this MC with the best (imho) production quality Matchroom always offers to the viewers. If there is one single pool event which has the best chances to gain the kids attention then it's definitely MC and what is the future of...

    carbon fiber shafts

    I guess something like this should work ok https://compositeenvisions.com/two-part-liquid-urethane-expanding-foam-3lb-density-1004.html I would use a higher density for the bottom half of the tube and less density (lighter) for the top. There are other similar foams to choose from.. So as the...

    Do carbon fiber shafts make the game easier?

    My actual point was not so on the surface. Ok, Do you think it's just a coincidence that in the team from the continent where pool is treated as a sport the best players who strive for the consistency in their performance and that's why paying much more attention to what helps them most with...

    Do carbon fiber shafts make the game easier?

    One more thought to consider. It is not so long for the annual MC from Matchroom to come. Let's look at it from this sight of view... It is Europe - the continent where pool is treated more or less as a sport with the top 5 players in the team playing: J.Filler - Predator with Z3 shaft E.Kaci -...

    Do carbon fiber shafts make the game easier?

    It may be c.f. shafts make the game easier... time will tell...but what I do know they are definitely make it easier to maintain it to be clean, slick and having more consistent feel in the bridging hand when the environments change. Second point...for me as the learning student in cue-building...

    Grip question

    You could also think if there are any changes/differences in your grip (which fingers touch the cue or how the cue lays on the fingers) at these particular moments of the stroking motion: - the end of backswing - at the moment of the cue tip contacting the CB - at the end of the follow through...

    International Open

    Well...just take a group of kids 10-11 years old and start coaching them. You are welcome to motivate them with such a bright future especially once they get older and mature enough to think about their future and how to make a living. That is something you better have your own experience. As a...

    International Open

    As I already said pool fans as well as players might be the craziest and patient people in the world. You have to be... if after sitting so many racks in the chair and being down 0:9 like in SVB vs Lechner match you want to come back to win 10 straight racks... It was a great tournament with a...

    International Open

    Well after such final rack I guess there are no questions why Jason might be one of the straightest shooters. Amazing rack and some show time at such moment at the very end and definitely deserving champion. Congrats to both players!

    International Open

    Or I might be wrong and after some good shots from Max we'll have a thrilling finish of the match. It would be great)

    That's true and thanks;)

    International Open

    Of course I'm not going to give up and watch it till the end if the stream is ok;). I wish Max does the same at the table. It looks like there is too much tension in him or just out of gas. Looks like it's the end.
