So I see most pro matches use the Magic Ball Rack. Is there a reason that bars and such still use the horrible triangles, which on a table thats uneven and balls that are beat up, sometimes it takes forever to truly rack "perfectly"? Anyone here actually carry a Magic Ball rack around with...

I was watching a tor video and saw the tip on using top to make the ball "stick" to the rail.... is that something all good players use? Then I had a question on what if someone needed to hit that rail shot but putting top on it would leave the ball in a "highly" undesirable location, or even...

Ok I need a reality check here. I understand that there are many opinions on how to play, how to get better, and how to practice, etc... but I am sure there are some "baseline" foundations that are true near 100% of the time, and some which are highly subjective. So in the answer to this, if...

I got my new stick (Rosewood) today from Schmelke, very nice, and I like it overall, so I was practicing some spins today during my match and a little practice after. Wanted to see how my new ultra skin soft tip (David over there said its fairly similar to Kamui black soft for less price) will...

I am sure it was a problem with my form, I probably put too much weight on my left hand while shooting. I never had this left shoulder pain before, and once I discovered it, I adjusted my stance a little to put less pressure on my left hand. Someone told me they hardly put ANY pressure on...

Hey guys... I purchased this from eBay for my first break cue, and I love jumping so I figured I would get the combo... at my current level (3-5 APA) I didnt think the quality would matter that much, but more for the experience and not wearing out the soft tip of my brand new play stick on...

Hey guys, I recently joined here (as most of u prob know by now LMAO with my 1000 questions) because I rekindled my passion to play some more pool by joining this league, and I have learned more about about pool again than I have ever known in the last 2 weeks thanks to youtube videos/online...

Ok so I think 13mm is the default and average? My questions are: 1. What do most pros use (I know, LOL, but I am curious and I want some type of benchmarks) 2. Is it true that smaller give better spin action? 3. But larger is more forgiving on "bad" hits? I love to work the ball so I am...

Hey guys... so I know what they do in the pros on a 9' table, but on a bar table, most likely 7', where do you spot the cue on the break? Are we trying to make the same type of break as the pros, meaning spot it near the forward diamond about 2 inches away and then try to make the 1 in the side...

Ok so I think I am leaning towards shelling out more for the jump break cue which I only found out existed in the last hour LOL. They look cool, have great reviews, and makes this whole initial process simpler for me to not go around looking for hundreds of other break and jump cues. I see...

Are all pool gloves basically the same? A few here on Amazon and I cant tell without trying them what's what. LIST Are there any red flags or "must haves" in a glove that I should look for, like in golf gloves you want cabretta leather and thin if you love feel or thicker if you play in...

Ok thanks to you guys, I have at least narrowed down my first cue to an HXT. I see many of them on Amazon Prime, which I may think about ordering a few with different weights to see what I like, but I think I want 20oz. Here is a site with a list of them thats also mostly on Amazon, even...

Hey guys... first a little background... I used to play a lot, maybe I was like a 4 then (on the equalizer APA rating), and then I played maybe once a year for about 20 years, and now I am getting back into it. I am working hard to get to a 5 and then 6+. There are so many cues out there, it is...
