    power draw?

    In most of these scenarios, power draw is the best option. No fools errands here.

    power draw?

    Just because it’s a shot that doesn’t present itself very often, doesn’t mean you should dismiss it entirely by calling it a fools errand. Having a powerful draw shot in your skillset can be the difference between winning or losing. Not to mention the psychological effect against your opponent...

    power draw?

    If you don’t have a power draw stroke in your arsenal, your game isn’t complete. Sometimes it is the better option.

    How To Get A Really Good Player

    Don’t forget how important seasoning is. It might not be as vital if your goal is house pro level, but if you want to be a world beater you have to play everybody and play everywhere. And then you need to figure out how to bring your game when you’re up against the top guys at big events/money...

    power draw?

    Yeah it requires more draw than you think. I use maybe half a tips worth. Too much side the cueball stuns across the table and dies off the rail. You need lots of draw to bend the cueball back and pass the side pocket, and then hope theres enough side to help it along.

    power draw?

    I find emphasizing flicking your wrist helps. Helps with the break shot too. This is one of my favourite power draw shots to do.

    shhhh lol I was *almost* reluctant to post anything in fear of him gaining popularity and increase his prices 😆 For a well made custom cue it’s an incredible value.

    How To Get A Really Good Player

    I think we’ve all known someone who says the classic line “if i could play all the time i’d be pro in X amount of time” and its always some insanely naive answer. Smh 🤦‍♂️ lol People don’t realize there’s levels to this game! It’s not just about practice and competing, it's a big pie chart of...

    Good cue makers

    Regardless if he’s an actual buyer or not, hopefully others see my post and consider Ed for their next cue.

    Good cue makers

    Definitely. I have to shoutout Ed Robinson Cues (Facebook page only). He’s got a bunch of great looking cues in the $400 range. I bought a custom Titlist conversion off him for a very reasonable price and it plays great. Even his stock shafts are awesome. Nothing but high praise from me. My...

    What's going on with pool equipment?

    I wasn’t insinuating that at all. Pretty sure it’s a family business between John and Lulu. This isn’t Nike we’re talking about here, it’s a small business.

    What's going on with pool equipment?

    I have a feeling his margins are probably pretty solid.

    What's going on with pool equipment?

    Lol not just the liner its the entire construction. No shortcuts and reinforcement in stress spots. They’re built to last a lifetime.

    So who is buying Matchroom Sports WNT LIVE streaming?

    Waiting for an app before I purchase. Hopefully sometime soon.

    Forward weighted cue.

    I’m not arguing how much spin is produced, i’m talking about how the cue hits the ball. I think it’s easier to deliver a better cue and decrease your chances of deceleration on soft shots. Helps with cueing off the rail too. It’s subjective of course, but it makes sense why myself and others...

    WTH is going on?!?!? 😳

    Don’t know about Sky, but Fedor talked about his back issues when he was on the Joe Rogan podcast. It’s been an ongoing thing. I’ll have to rewatch it, but I believe he said it’s because of his height and the wear and tear on his back from his stance. I think he said he has scoliosis 🤔 Edit: @...

    Forward weighted cue.

    Correct. In the video I posted, Alex mentions that he holds the very back of the cue. And since he’s short, he tends to stretch more than the average player, giving him less of a backswing. Some extra weight at the front probably feels better on his bridge keeping his cue down. As well as the...
