Hey guys I played 9-ball last night and was thinking about the break shot in 9-ball. the break in 9 is imperative I see allot of players break at an angle hitting it as hard as they can. However when I do that I often find myself in a bad position for the one ball. So last night i tried a new...

My main weakness when playing on a 6ft table is cue ball control navigating through the congestion and often times end up in bad positions when I try for a big run. However I can pull off some impressive shots to make the 9 early using combos or caroms that at pretty complicated. Where I get...

Low Deflection cues are all the new rage but through my journey back after my stroke I found that It is probably not beneficial or could even hurt you to use and LD shaft. The reason is because of what a beginner or low level intermediate should be focusing on. which is a consistent stroke...

I recently took over an eight ball team and it is a team that I honestly think could win the season However I have a player who openly admits to me he is not trying and a player who I suspect is not trying. I would Just skip over them and not play them but sometimes I cant do that. Its...

I have been playing with my OB classic shaft and absolutely love it. Deflection is almost non existent and I has very good feel to it. The man who sold it to me hated LD shafts because of the feel but I let him hit mine and He said he may start using the OB classic. I love it and recommend it to...

lately i have been on here asking about an ld for my Pechauer P02. Well I ran in to a pit fall. The p02 has an extra wide but and any new shaft i put on it would be significantly smaller in circumference than the butt of my cue so mu otions are either to send my cue and a blank of the shaft I...
