Note: This is a duplicate from another forum, and I couldn’t figure out how to move it. ——- I recently experienced a discomforting experience during a match. For the second time in 20 years of use, the tip from my Predator BKII break stick detached and came off. I’d purchased the shaft with a...

I recently experienced a discomforting experience during a match. For the second time in 20 years of use, the tip from my Predator BKII break stick detached and came off. I’d purchased the shaft with a customized layered Samsera hard tip, instead of the standard tip. I’d shaped it down over the...

I have a Lucasi LH model butt that I’d like to match up with a 6-8 inch extension. The ones that I’ve tried are either too heavy or bulky for use. I wanted to know if anyone with a Lucasi cue would have any recommendations to share. Notably, I’m looking to see if there’s anyone out there that...

HI Awhile back I was able to use this amazing tool for plotting out billiard shot patterns. It was an iOS app that has since been removed from the public domain. Can someone help with locating, or recommend another option. Going to their website or the app store is useless.

Of all the billiard tips and exercises available, I've found two (2) resources to be helpful. 1) Ralph Eckart: Structure | the ultimate Billiard Tutorial 2) Brian Crist - Poolology: Mastering the Art of Aiming 3) Ray Balzer: AimRight Training Kit 4) Ray Balzer: Cut Angle Challenge 101 *New...

During an 8 Ball match my opponent was on the 8 ball (called shot). My ball was partially blocking the pocket. He pointed to the pocket and caromed the 8 ball off of the other ball. I asked him what rule made that a legally pocketed ball. His reply was that there was a local rule used by one of...

Someone asked this question on social media - There’s many options available to one who might be considering a move from casual to league play. First - Stop looking at all those videos that pitch the next cure. Get an inexpensive cue and put your $$$ into getting a good reliable cue tip - A tip...

Someone asked this question on social media - LOL the starting point would be this blog! There’s many options available to one who might be considering a move from casual to league play. First - Stop looking at all those videos that pitch the next cure. Get an inexpensive cue and put your $$$...

I tried the DIY remedy to remove the weight bolt from my BK III break cue. Regardless of how much pressure is applied - The bolt is frozen tight. Rather than spend extra $$$ for a Predator bolt remover (which may not work) or send it away for repair - I’m looking for someone local (Oakland Cty)...

I learned a valuable lesson from simply walking the table and not selling out. My opponent had blocked all but a difficult kick shot into the side pocket. I had found a path to extend my run. Similarly, pool players are also prone to getting excited and looking too far ahead to a potential run...

I have some questions about how Lucasi markets their cue shafts to the public. On their website they clearly defined what is a Custom and Hybrid LD shaft. It appears that they (Lucasi) are pushing only LH models. However, several online suppliers are advertising LC shafts as Hybrid. What goes...

I’m interested in any feedback regarding the Lucasi Hybrid line. Has anyone been successful in moving into the 11.50mm pro taper, or remained with 12.75mm regular shaft. It appears that Lucasi is promoting this as a premium upgrade, and compete with the Predator Z model. I’m not including true...

I’m sort of new to this discussion, and wanted to get some feedback from the A-Z nation. I was frustrated by missing shots that would otherwise be simple makes. I was constantly stroking and missing the mark. I made things worse by adjusting the cue during the aim process. I finally brought...

I’m upgrading to a McDermott G343 G-Core from my current Players model. I don’t really care about LD - Indian shoots the arrow you know. I’m considering going with a 12.5mm diameter and keep the Navigator medium tip. For around 500 bucks - Is this setup best for someone moving into an...
