    I was practicing a couple of days ago and noticed I could not cue as low as I thought I should be able to, I pulled out the old training ball and sure enough, I could not even get close to the accepted limit on the cueball, was it the tip?

    First day Bulletproof Recoil Tip Tool review

    Just received it today, I have posted about using the Sandman shaper tool and how well it works so when Bulletproof Billiards came out with a tool of their own I was intrigued but I mistakenly thought they were similar in design so I didn't get one right away, they are very different, the...

    Follow up on Renaissance wax on CF

    I got the wax last night and did one of my shafts, the Becue CF shafts are really smooth without doing anything but I have been experimenting with not using a glove, one good thing is this polish did not make the shaft shine anymore than the shaft without it, It did make the shaft a "little"...
