    Can this shot be made with any consistency?

    Seriously? Half ball hit, left side of the objection ball, firm. Once the cue ball hits the rail in should die because of the top spin

    Ivory ferrrules: IMO Still the best

    I agree with you in regards to the deflection, I don’t really notice. I hate to say it but I feel like the hit is overrated. It’s hard to explain, but I feel like the cue ball just comes off kinda flat, opposed to a spring like bounce off the cue with lots of action with minimal effort. And...

    Cue ball placement on break

    I usually break a ball or two from center table on a table I’m unfamiliar with just to see how it goes for 8/9/10 ball. For the most part I really only break from the rail playing 9 ball, which will be a ball or two out from the rail. Other than that I’ll only break from the rail in 8 ball if...

    Jake Hulsey Full Splice

    *sigh* dream cue...such a beauty, I’m sure she plays even better. Good luck with your sale, I can’t imagine it taking too long.

    Best cue ball ever

    I like the blue circle as well...when it’s genuine and not 20 years old. The ones used in some my local pool halls are worn and are much smaller and lighter than the other balls. Which is incredibly frustrating to play with, the break shot becomes like trying to hit a big nail with a little...

    Dealing with the weakest player on a team

    Well, I’ve always found it’s a series of stepping stones but firstly, proper stance is a must and the first thing I always advocate for because it will make every shot easier. Then just have them practice putting the cue ball 2-4-6-12 inches so they have a feel of the cue ball so they can...

    BEST place to buy "SIZED; Colets

    I just use a strip of rubber I cut from rubber roof material. It works well and it’s nice because it fits all shafts

    Considering a tip change.

    A good triangle. The bluegrass medium or medium softs are pretty great as far as layered tips go. I’d skip the Kamui’s, overpriced and hyped imo

    REVO Shaft Doubters, Got A Story For You

    Holy hell, talk about beating a dead horse... What more is there to talk about? They play great, some people like them, some people don’t. I’m sorry but this is has become redundant. Gold jacket, green jacket, who gives a f*ck...

    Thinking of selling a Gilbert and have questions about 5/16-14 versus 3/8-10 joints

    I feel the shaft taper, ferrule, and tip play a bigger role in terms of how the cue hits. I think the way a cue resonates has more relation to the joint. I prefer flat face wood to wood joint, (and wrapless) because I think the cue has more of a one piece vibration and tone, which I think is...

    What cue or customer cuemaker's cue hits like this

    Helmstetters fit that description imo.

    Tight Pockets

    Too tight of pockets aren’t for pool. Being able to “cheat” the pocket for position is part of the game, should be at least... The the most brutal tables are those ones with 5” pockets, rock hardfacings, rounded over points, and down angles damn near 90°....Deceiving buggers, nothing worse in...

    The Living Legends Challenge - Mike Sigel vs. Earl Strickland <<<===={{{{{

    Did you expect otherwise? I know Sigel still plays well, but I whole heartedly believe Earl still has a world beater gear and when he’s on and focused there are few who can catch him.
