Last year I was finally able to put an 8ft table at home in my man cave. Didn't have the space for a 9ft unfortunately. I bought a new table from a local supplier (I live in London) and I like it but it is a standard table, none of the big names. It also has standard size pockets 4.5 inch. I go...

I recently bought an 8ft for my man cave (a year ago) and I am trying to get back into the game (haven't played for a few years), I manage to get about 4-5 hrs a week (on good weeks) but I practice alone. At home I play relatively well but recently I found a weekly tournament where I go about...

I never cared about my dominant eye and always aligned the cue on the middle of my chin (like snooker players). Recently I tried to do the dr Dave most famous and useful drill of all times and found out that I am putting slightly left spin on the ball. I did this because I recently purchased a...

I have an old Falcon cue (made 1990 or 91), it seems to be a Janette Lee signature series. I always thought it has 5/16 x 14 piloted joint but I tried a Predator 314-1 shaft from a buddy at the pool club that was (supposedly) a 5/16 x14 (with silver ring) and it didn't fit properly. The guy was...

I am thinking of getting a break cue and since there are such cues as break/jump cues I was thinking to kill two birds with one stone. Are the jump-break cues lower quality than the ones that are just break and just jump? Do break cues require a different type of tip than the jump ones in order...

Hey, looking for some advice from people who have more experience than me with LD shafts. I have been playing recreationally since high school, then gave it up for some years and recently just picked it up again. I now have a table at home and for the past few months I was able to play about 1hr...

I have just managed to build my man cave and now have an 8ft pool table in there. I love the game but unfortunately I have a very demanding job and before covid I used to get about 3-4hrs a week to play with a friend of mine, mostly 9-ball. When I was younger (mostly in high school and during...

Hey, Very soon I will start building a man cave. Because I do not have the space in my house for this I will buy a garden log cabin that will be 5.2m by 5.2m internal size (17ft x 17ft). This is the one I could find that matches my needs and the space I have available for it so there is no...

I was watching a 1995 Mosconi Cup match between White/Higgins - Hunter/Massey and I am pretty sure that Jimmy was using a snooker cue. What would be the point of using that cue in a pool game? Can he get better control on the cue ball with a smaller tip? I think it will feel pretty weird to play...

I am a beginner when it comes to pool. I used to play often with my friends when I was in college and high school and always been a fan of pool and snooker. Recently I started to take on playing again but I go to the pool club and practice drills, pattern play, work on my stroke etc. to become a...

I am relatively new to pool. I used to play when I was a child and in high school but just for fun. Recently I started to get more serious about it becauseI used to love playing pool. Anyway, around 10 gears ago an old family friend who knew I was playing often gave me his pool cue as a gift...
