finally ditched my glove. It was actually causing more miscues and poor shots itself. I played a good session of 9 ball today. Won a few and lost many but my bridge is noticeably more solid without the glove and the feel is much better. I use a closed or open bridge depending on the shot and...

some days I’m sure I won’t be able to practice on the 9 foot tables at my local hall. They only have 2 but also have 10 8 foot tables. Every table is Brunswick with fresh simonis felt. On days where only the 8 foot tables are available is it wise to practice on them and will my improvements...

I don’t own a table but am lucky enough theres a good pool hall less than 10 minutes from my house. I plan on practicing/playing at least three days a week for 2-3 hours at a time. Right now my billiards 1x1 hard case contains my playing cue (2022 Viking B2001) with the standard v-pro shaft and...

does my cue(2022 Viking B2001 with standard v-pro shaft )use a Unilock quick release pin? The specifications for the cue say it has a 5/16 x 18 quick release joint but mentions nothing about uniloc. I’m a bit confused as I’m trying to clear this up. Thank you for sharing your expertise

I know my cue is el cheapo to you guys at 220. It came with a nice Viking 1x2 hard case which works perfectly. I was wondering if any of you guys use joint protectors because videos pop up on my YouTube algorithm one in a while. I didn’t even have a case for my old huebler. Just hauled it in the...

wesome billiards session today guys. We played 37 9 ball racks. Won a bunch and lost a bunch but had tons of fun. My cue performed really well using the towels but was not the most convenient and feel the action could be even smoother so I ordered this which will be delivered this weekend. I...

I’m finally getting to play tomorrow for probably 5 hours. I don’t have a glove and am wondering if corn starch or baby powder is better to use as a lubricant for my bridge hand? Will any of these damage the shaft in any way? How often would I need to apply? How messy are they? I’m going to play...

How many of you guys own your own practice table vs practicing at the local pool hall? Thanks

I know I ask a lot of questions but you guys seem keen to help me as my billiards knowledge grows. Through your replies I’ve determined the medium Lepro cue tip on my one week old Viking B2001 should be shaped and scuffed with my Willard pro nickel shaper once then leave it alone except for the...

I recently purchased a Viking B2001 cue with the standard v-pro shaft and Lepro medium tip. I called Viking to see what size tip shaper I needed and they told me the tips are shaped from the factory with a nickel radius. I also own a Willard nickel shaper and would like to know if I can...

On my old huebler cue I NEVER shaped or scuffed the tip. i just played with it as is from huebler I probably would have banked more cash than Reyes had I known better. lol. I just got a new Viking cue with the standard 13mm v-pro shaft and Lepro medium tip. I called them and they-said the new...

I just got a new cue. it’s a Viking B2001 with a stainless steel pin 5/16 by 18 quick release joint. The v-pro shaft has a brass threaded insert. I searched but couldn’t find so I’m curious to know how tight (torque) should I screw the two halves together for consistent solid play. I like the...

I’m just getting back into billiards after a long layoff. When I last played I had a plain Jane 100 dollar huebler that served me well. I’m just a recreational 9 ball player but play tournaments when I can. I sold my huebler back in 2002 so I needed a new cue. I ordered a Viking B2001, 20 ounce...
