Im not hearing it anywhere it’s my own and others experience. At soft speeds, having a forward weighted cue with a heavier shaft and soft tip feels like it sticks to the ball a little longer (even if its a fraction of a second) and helps push it through the cueball. If I have a really touchy...

Forward weighted cues are good for touch and spinning the ball at low speed. This helps with finesse shots, allowing for better cue ball control in tight spaces. Good for games like one pocket or straight pool.

100%. And those guys will be able to take a kia hatchback and lap me in my sportscar. Pros can run racks with a broom stick. So when I see someone like Shaw for example (who’s been through Meucci, Peri, J Flowers, etc) it doesn’t mean much to me when he promotes the cues he uses saying his new...

Friend of mine’s setup. Nice and clean. Freddie if you’re lurking I think you’ll recognize this spot 😂

Maybe. But as we’ve all seen, players change cue sponsors like underwear. They chose their cues based on who’s the high bidder after their contract is up. Not how good a cue plays. If you ever watch those “whats in the case” videos, 95% of the pros can’t even articulate what they like about a...

The big cue companies do a great job marketing. Convincing players that deflection is the root of all evil and not using their 1k+ painted cue and carbon fibre shaft is whats holding their game back was just brilliant.

Post more if you got em!

Here they are…the real deal.

1st cue - Dufferin rainbow series (green) 2nd cues - Falcon VL-1 and AC-20 Jump/Break

Nobody crushes the break anymore. It’s a medium/medium high speed, controlled break for 10 ball and 8 ball, and a low-medium speed cut break for 9 ball. Magic rack with fast cloth doesn’t require a hard break to get a good spread, so they can emphasize control over power. Sometimes you’ll see...

Not necessary at all. Especially now with magic racks and cut breaks. Nothing more than a luxury. I have a Jacoby heavy hitter with a phenolic tip that I use on my league night so I can smash my wooden rack 8 ball racks. But all the 9 ball tournaments are magic rack nine on the spot now, so i...

Bring back the rocket 🚀

I have a GTF (it’s George, ron Thomas, Fellini) 1x2 by John Barton for sale if you’re interested. Similarly priced to the Volturi, but miles apart in build quality and protection.

Based on Shanes performance record I don’t think removing him creates the void you think it does. If Europe is gunna win anyway, i’d at least want a more entertaining US team to watch. I think with the right team they could put up a good fight and upset some matches with or without Shane.

Got my JB case in dark green.

Love Shaw in this event. Shaw with FSR and Alcaide get along great together, they’re all world beaters and they can still keep the team energy up with a couple introverts like Albin or Krause.

I’d swap out Shane and Styer for Morris, Hatch, and/or Dechaine/Deuel. If we’re not gunna win with the highest Fargos in the states, then let’s try it with seasoned veterans with team compatibility and momentum. Combined with Sky and Billy, having just one or two more good teammates would be...

Offers welcomed

I had all the Capelle books and now just have the spiral bound practicing pool book left. It’s good I like that he included structured practice routines as well. I keep it out at my local pool hall for any players to use. I used to like Bert Kinisters stuff alot. He had alot of his videos...
