    Anyone purchased a REVO CUSTOM?

    In my head? Nope. Not at all. Dennis Orcollo hit a couple ballz with it at the Rocket city open in Huntsville and commented on the super low deflection. At the time, I just assumed it was "his skill level that detected the difference". Well, I've had a couple other top tier players have said...

    Anyone purchased a REVO CUSTOM?

    Hey folks, I was a bit disappointed when I first learned my revo 12.4 shaft was a good bit lighter than any other revo I had used or heard of. Before carbon fiber and low deflection shafts in general, I had always liked a shaft that was a minimum of 4.2 oz but no more than 4.4oz because thats...

    Anyone purchased a REVO CUSTOM?

    I've hit with a lot of revos since posting this thread. I wouldn't trade my 3.6oz for two 4oz revos.

    Some ways (systems) of aiming works better for one person than another and that is a FACT. Another fact but some may not agree....Regardless of which way (system).....you will have to incorporate: HAMB into the mix or you will never be proficient at said way (system). Me? I use ghost ball...

    Do you perfer wood to wood joint or SS and why

    What kind of cereal did you use? I tried Punch Crunch but it made my cue want to shoot to hard. I had a terrible time on touch shots while using that cereal box washer. I finally found the right cereal box to use. I used a Crispix cereal box. Crispix gave my cue that crisp hit we all like...

    Here comes the "Masked Marvel"...

    Some people expect "others" to WORK for little to nothing. Most of the people that complain about pool are part of the problem they are complaining about. They are obviously not smart enough to understand. Jeff

    Recommendations for a beginning one pocket book?

    Hey Bob. Good catch. I agree $1,000+ is a lot to put out for a real cheap gambler. I meant $100 a game. It would take a long time to recoup 1k at $10 a game unless he is stealing. Having said that, even at $10 a game ....IMO, it's a good trade off. Knowledge may be power but power usually...

    BK RUSH break cue

    In the past few years I've spent A LOT of time and energy working on my 9 and 10 ball breaks. As for my speed. I'm not in fargo but I'm normally the favorite with most of the 700 to 720ish players that I've faced in private sessions. The BKrush cue is a great break cue. Did it make my break...

    Recommendations for a beginning one pocket book?

    If a person gambles even in low stakes, book cost shouldn't matter. Even at $10 a game, a player may very well lose more in one or two sessions than the books will cost. Buy the books, study and use them and you'll make all your money back very quickly from the less experienced (players that...

    How many spot shots can you?

    In the past I did drills with no practice strokes. The drill is basically: set your cue to cb......check alignment.......pull back and pause......start follow through. Number one and two should be fairly easy to most any advanced player. As for how many? Right now.....ZERO.....I'm still laid...

    How to tell if a rail is dead?

    Did you ever fish your cue out of the pool? BTW.....Most all sweater's set on the rail. There is a good chance they caused the rail to go bad. Jeff

    Played pool in a swimming pool room hotel?

    If you put your cue in the pool..........well, humidity will be your least worry. Then again, if you did that, I'm pretty certain you have bigger issues than cue problems. Try to be more clear about your question. For example: I played pool within 20 feet of a pool and I'm wondering if that...

    Why do gaps in a rack cause balls not to break as well?

    Hey Bob, have you ever played Amos and Andy? Reason I ask is because the game Amos and Andy is racked pretty much the way you described. Matter of fact, the house rack man (person that got paid to only rack) would normally wedge a penny in front of the head ball to ensure the head ball and all...

    touch of inside. CJ has me hooked

    Regardless of what the system is called, it's been around for a LOOONNNGGGG time. Many, many players use a bit of inside (toi) in certain conditions. Then again, those same players normally use a touch of outside in certain conditions. In short: If felt is old or worn....toi (touch of insid)...
