Hooked off the break, I almost never roll out. I’d rather play a kick safe instead. Thats when the ball is not locked up or something like that. What about you all? Do you prefer to take the safe route and be a “push”over, or keep “control” and kick the s$&t out of it? (I know I know the last...

Anybody know what kind of house cues they have? I might fly over there in a few weeks for the US Open qualifier and don’t feel like taking a cue with. Especially if I fly cheap with Spirit!😀😀Broke my breaker(obviously) and found out my O1 has a loose ring and needs a full rebuild. I really don’t...

So first I ruined the butt. Now I destroyed the shaft. All I did was break. Maybe need to stop hitting the weights…

Forget Rhino. CF on the cheap…. lol! Watch yourselves when buying used CF….

I can’t recall who it was. But One of the regular posters here mentioned his breaker is shorter than standard maybe 5 days or a week ago.. Is there a benefit to it? There is only one player that I see on occasion with a shorter break cue. It’s not due to him being short. He’s probably close to...

How often do you take your English to the extreme? And how often do the best players? So there is all this talk about LD shafts and CF but how often do they really come in handy? Thats the sub question to the question. Sure you can impose more spin with less deflection, but what I’m asking is...

I noticed over the weekend that staying consistent might be even more beneficial than making all the shots. Both would be great but it doesn’t always work out that way. We had our citywide. I’m a 7 in 8 but was playing mostly 6’s. I got stuck with the higher 6’s for obvious reasons. But still 2...

Well my breaker has given out after a good year and a half of service. RIP. at least Im pretty sure I have a different butt hat fits

This has got to be one of the most important overlooked parts of the game. I can make almost any ball on the table. Put the cb ball where I want it-usually. But man these short safeties are killer. I’m talking the ones where you’re like 2 inches from the ball and there’s a ball 3 inches away...

Hey, I emailed Matchroom. They said there’s six qualifiers in the US that are listed on their website. I can’t find them(maybe I’m just dumb!)but here’s the email from Brendan. If anybody can find them, please post here.

Hello. I see you all likin’ stuff. Loose grip or firm? And everyone else we need some WWYD’s. It’s been a while….for once I got nothing

When using left/right do you play the throw or play the OB? Is there one good aiming method for all left/right? I’ve found on a straighter shot it works better to aim at the OB where my tip is on the CB. Essentially aiming through the ball. But on a tighter cut I’ll aim for the throw instead...

I know some break for the 1 in the side in 9 why not in 8 or 10? It’s usually the balls in the second row or something else in those. Why not break for the same ball(s) in every game?

A lot of people knock APA. Even I knock APA sometimes because it’s not very competitive. I’d even say it can slow your progression slightly. But people forget the fact that it’s got nothing to do with what league you’re in if you want to get better. The only way to get better is to practice...

Anyone else have a real issue playing certain people? Like for some reason the player is the same speed as you but they always win or you can always beat certain people above you and always lose to certain people below you? I’ve noticed there are a few types of players that my game sucks...

Hey. I think I figured out why the bar’s tables are playing a bit inconsistent lately.

You all practice 8, 9, or something else the most? I hate 9 ball without an opponent with a passion. So 50% 8 ball, 30% banks, 10% 9 ball and 10% other stuff. Guess you’d say I’m an 8 ball player. 9 ball is getting a little less boring now that my game has improved though.

In your opinion does alternate break give the lesser player in a match a better chance to win? Vote by yes or no and what you estimate your playing ability to be please. There is 1 yes and no for under 500’s and 1 yes or no for over 500’s I want to see if different levels feel differently on...

How’s it hit? Still LD? Sorry about this thread. I was trying to make a poll thread and messed up. But I have been wondering about playing an LD that normally comes with a small ferrule with a longer one put on it. Don’t know if it’s possible with the pin being smaller for the small ferrule...

Anybody have one they’ve come across lately? I came across one of the toughest shots I’ve encountered in a while the other day. And that’s how this thread came to be. Worst part. It was just a center ball shot! It was a light angle near the rail long shot on the 5. Cb slightly outside of...
