I was watching the USA vs. Russia Matches the past couple of days. I noticed on Billy Thrope's grip hand that he has his index finger completely off of the cue. I have only seen Joe Tucker play like that before. What are the benefits, if any to doing that?
For anyone that has played with both shafts, can you tell me if the deflection is about the same..
OB claims that the + shafts have 13% less deflection than their 1st generation shafts.
Predator claims a 3 or 4% less deflection on their 3rd generation shafts than the 2nd generation.
Did anyone else see this on facebook? Someone apparently got mad and slapped the Revo on the table and it snapped in 2...I thought the Revo was indestructible.
Every so often my uniloc predator shaft gets loose. Does this happen to anybody else? What's the cause? I've owned many cues and the uniloc is the only one that will come loose during play. And it just so happens to me at the worst times. It's really frustrating.
I thought Mike was sponsored by OB. I saw him play recently with a shaft with a black ferrule. I also saw him play on a stream with the shaft with black ferrule. Is that a prototype shaft that OB is working on?
I don't know why I find this so amusing. Rodney Morris spends about 5 seconds getting out of this safe against Busty, He spent 4 of those seconds getting up out if his chair and walking to the table.

I am looking for a Predator P2 with Z2 shaft. I prefer a wrap but would consider wrapless if the price is right. Send me a PM with what you've got. Thanks.
I just read this on Mark Tadd's status:
"Well I'm not sure why but I have decided to go to the Derby City Classic lol! I have played very little in the last three years but starting Monday I will get serious and practice lol. It should be interesting though"
I posted a thread about wanting to buy a Predator Z2 shaft last week. I agreed to buy the shaft Thursday. I sent out a Postal money order with delivery confirmation last thursday. It arrived to the sellers house on Monday afternoon. Since Monday I've sent 3 unanswered PM's. He's been online...
I'm just started playing 3c like 2 weeks ago. I was curious as to why the 3c tables are heated. Sorry if it sounds like a stupid question but the few 3c players I know won't tell me anything.
I'm looking for 2 Predator Z2 shafts. One to fit uni-loc joint and another to fit 3/8x10 joint. Both plain black collars. PM me with what you've got. Thanks.
I'm watching Ralf Soquet vs Jesse Engel right now. I noticed Ralf is playing with a Predator Z2 shaft. So when did Ralf Soquet make the switch from a 314~2 shaft to a Z2??? I'm wondering why after so many years of playing with a 314 (and quite successfully) would he make the switch???
I was watching a few matches of Oliver. I can't think of anyone else that has a nickname that suits their bstyle of play like "The Machine." I went to his wikipedia page and saw an impressive resume. He is a World Champion in 9ball and 14.1 and he also has numerous other titles. I think he has...
I was watching Samm Diep's What's in the case with Rodney Morris. At the 3:00 minute mark he says You don't want a cue lighter than 19.5 oz because shooting off the rail is going to be tough. What does he mean? I use a light cue and have no problems shoooting off the rail (thanks Jimmy Reid)...
I just read this post on facebook by a well known top player from the late
80's and early 90's. To be honest I agree 100% with him. Here is what he wrote. What do you guys think?
"I think the handy cap system has destroyed pool. When I started playing pool there were no such systems in place...
I don't play one pocket and haven't really even watched one pocket. So it's safe to say I don't know anything about the game. I was reading some posts in "The Action Room" and Dippy was challenging some people to some games.
Now my question is this:
When he is challenging someone to a game...
I was just wondering if a professional player wins a major tournament like the OPEN, World Chamionships ie, ie., do they have to pay taxes on the winnings? Money in pool is already tight, and if they have to pay taxes on thier winnings that is sad.
Like the title says i would like to trade a Uni-loc Predator 314/2 shaft for a uni-loc OB Break shaft. The shaft is on the following thread:

I can post pics if needed but it's just a shaft.
I am selling a slightly used Predator 314-2. It is uni-loc with the P2/P3 collar. It comes with a Kamui Black soft tip. The shaft rolls dead straight.
