    Two playing cues used in the same game?

    I switch to my maple shaft on the rare occasion I have to masse to hit a ball. Did it last weekend in a big tournament and made the ball and ran out. I found that it is way easier to masse with a maple shaft compared to with my carbon fiber. In this case, you just need to make sure to notify...

    Best Billiards Jersey/Polo Shirts

    I have two OnBoard jerseys that are really nice. Only negative that I can come up with is that the length is really long, so if you plan on wearing them untucked, they are not ideal for that. Perfect for big events where you need to wear them tucked. I am getting a couple Jam Up jersey's here...

    US Open 9-Ball, 2023, Atlantic City, Sep 25-30

    Matchroom most definitely only opens up a certain amount of spots to the public. The rest are reserved for invite only players, aka highly ranked players. The issue with the day 1 streaming is that Matchroom chooses to put all the top big name players on the TV tables, regardless of who their...

    What is the experience like purchasing a case from John Barton/JB cases?

    I have bought two cases from them with absolute no issues. His wife does all the responses and design effort before the production starts. Just go ahead and build your design on the website and then submit your order. She will contact you after a little bit to firm up the order and ensure all...

    Molinari Gloves

    Full finger gloves are definitely a no go for me. I really think it is very important to be able to feel the cloth. Having material at the end of the fingers feels really weird. Just look at all the pros, absolutely no pro plays with gloves that are full fingered and there is a reason for that.

    Molinari Gloves

    I am very particular with my equipment and once I am comfortable with something, I will not change. Kind of disappointed that I didn't purchase a lot of them and keep them in storage. I recently started my last available glove, so I at least have 3 to 4 months minimum before I will need to...

    ALFA LV RACKS

    They definitely went out of their way to not say they were bad racks. It's actually quite amazing that you only saw a few racks like this, with them breaking from the side. It's not the physical racks guys, it's the rackers. They have a hard job, can't imagine the pressure of racking so many...

    Molinari Gloves

    I am pretty confident Molinari is their own brand and separate entity. I am assuming something happened where they are not producing gloves anymore or maybe went out of business.

    Shaw UK Junior Open

    Does anyone know if they are doing single elimination like they did with the SVB Junior Open? That seemed to be a big negative of that event and would be a shame if it is the same for this one.

    Molinari Gloves

    What is the deal with Molinari Gloves, did they stop producing them? Out of business? There is none in stock online or in Vegas right now.

    Las Vegas Open 10-ball

    All the top American players are soft and being cry babies and it shows in their games at the event. SVB clearly has no interest. He is visibly frustrated with the breaking and doesn't like how the two balls behind the one do not go into the side pocket breaking from the middle, because of the...

    My predator cloth only lasted 4.5 months

    You should never have to apply any kind of cleaning agent to a pool table cloth if you keep it covered and vacuum on semi regular basis. Stay away from using Master, Kamui or any other really messy chalk. I started using Taom on my cloth and it has really reduced the chalk residue on the cloth...

    Racking on new felt

    There is no reason to tap the table, that is just asking for problems. Just use a magic rack and make sure to rack the head ball at the correct spot. New cloth racks perfect, even with a triangle.

    Request some input on a race length and how to add money to sweeten the pot

    I think a race to 17 in 9 ball and 12 in 10 ball. Set period of time races are absolutely stupid, just a recipe for contention and having a player stall so they can win.

    This is why Fargorate Fails...

    S Seems like just sour grapes for losing out in the tournament. Any of those capped tournaments can go in any direction. That is why so many people are willing to sign up and play. You have to play over your head or be really underrated to win the tournament. It was probably a combination...

    Mosconi Cup Stats -- Career Records for Players on 2022 Teams

    Kash Keeton is probably on that trajectory. Joey Tate is older now so probably doesn't have that ceiling. Could see him more on the 750/770 level in a few years.

    Which one is smoother between these two (WITHOUT GLOVES) Revo or Cynergy

    I find those two to have a little more friction than wood shafts when not using a glove. I use a Cynergy and have only shot around with a revo a few times. I would say they are pretty similar in friction, but can't fully comment on that. I will say I never used a glove until 2020, thought I...
