    Wanted/For Sale Forum

    I applaud the changes to the Wanted/For Sale Forum announced on the AZB Website. It will be nice to look through a smaller list, without all of the lower end cues/accessories clogging it up.

    chicken wing

    The OP is correct, a pendulum stroke with a chicken wing arm will produce lateral movement in the cue. The bridge becomes the pivot point, more than likely forcing left english, or subconsciously aiming to the right side of the cue ball to compensate. I sometimes have to force my elbow back...

    Cheating on the 8 ball rack

    Break I have friends that break 8 ball racks fairly well (barbox). I am usually under 50%, but get a good spread. Have had better luck with 2nd ball and 3rd ball break. I think that tilting the rack in 2nd ball or 3rd ball is an advantage to the breaker, but you have to notice where the wing...

    It was simply amazing!

    Fame No offense, but I wonder how we got to the point where it is acceptable to make everything someone does a celebri-event. The guy just wanted to get out and shoot some balls. While I would love to be Shane's caliber or a movie star, I'd hate to have every event in my life photographed...

    Ideas for break cue experiment?

    Break Cue It might be a moot point after I tried out my new TNT purpleheart shafted cue last night. I got very good action with the cue on the break and it jumped very well (considering I'm not real good at jumping). Will have to evaluate my options this weekend.

    Poll: Should Jump Shots Be Banned?

    Rules We hear all the time about people in lower leagues calling a foul if the ball leaves the table (and it is usually unitentional since it is illegal to jump in our leagues). I believe it is improper to say it is illegal to jump the cue ball if you can't quantify the difference between...

    Ideas for break cue experiment?

    Break Cue Side note: How do you like that 25oz? Been thinking of getting it as my break is a little lacking as I'm really not that great at a powerful break stroke and use my typical hard stroke for breaking. I'm not really convinced the 25 oz is the right idea, but it does break well. I...

    Ideas for break cue experiment?

    I debated that, but in order to cycle through them, I think I'd rather just have 4-5 cues.

    Ideas for break cue experiment?

    I'm 6' tall and 210 lb, but not real strong, don't really have strong break stroke. My hypothesis is that a heavier break cue (21 oz) is better for my style than a 18 oz. I never get to test hit many cues due to where I live, so my thinking is to buy 5 cues of the same model but different...

    Denali break cues

    break cues I'd be interested in knowing what the selling point of these cues is. How are they designed for breaking? I've used break cues that seem to have no thump to them, the rack kinda flops apart. Some break cues seems to direct the energy into the cueball and subsequently into the rack...

    Cue keeps loosening up - why?

    I live in Minot, home of the historic flood of 2011. If you canadians would drink some more water, we might not flood next year lol. We started thinking you guys were pissed at us (or is it pissing on us? jk). This is the first year we've compemplated bombing the hell out of canada. Here...

    Cue keeps loosening up - why?

    I have a purple-heart jump/break cue that has a purpleheart shaft. I repeatedly have problems with the cue joints loosening up. If I don't check it before every break, it is usually loose. Both the jump/break joint and the regular joint have the problem. I don't suppose there is anything...

    Evacuating Pool Cues First

    My girlfriend, daugther, and I had to evacuate our house twice due to anticipated floods. Both times I called home and told them to get the cues in the car and then start working on packing up the house. Of course, if the guns had been in the house, they'd have been at the top of the list too...

    Noise Frequency of Ball Impact

    another question I thought the impact of hard materials would have a bass effect. I did not know there more mid-high range frequencies. I am buying good sound doors, but my walls are standard 2x4 construction. Is it worth buying stud/sheetrock insulators (rubber clips for stud framing and...
