I'm interested in this cue which is supposed to be an old longoni 5 stars carom cue. The cue doesn't have the longoni logo or the stars, but who is selling me the cue swears it is in fact a longoni 5 stars of 15 years old. I'm not able to recognize the cue because it doesn't have the longoni...

What's the difference between a shaft used for the free game or straight rail against a shaft for playing 3 cushions? Some time ago I bought a cue and discovered recently it has a straight rail shaft but I use it for playing three cushions. Could my game suffer because I'm not using the correct...

Hi is there any torrent tracker for billiard matches? Could you share the link here or with a pm? Thank you.

Do Multi Layered tips create more spin compared to single layer tips? I heard they do, but I don't know if it is true or just a myth. Thank you.

I really like Elk Master tip on my cue but a lot of players in my room said they are too soft for playing three cushions and I should look for a harder tip, probably multilayered. Honestly I'm not very knowledgeable about cuetips and I didn't know what to reply. What do you think?

I like the hit of soft tips and I always played with elkmaster and mori soft. Unfortunately mori tips aren't available anymore and I have played with elkmaster tips. Unfortunately they need a lot of maintenance and mushroom very easily. So I was looking for a LL tip as soft as elkmaster but with...

Hi I use an elk master tip and I see a lot of people complain about the fact it needs a lot of maintenance to stay in top shape. I personally use this tool and I do the following: I use the top shaper in order to create the top shape of the tip and then I trim the side of the tip. There is...

Hi as the title says I'm looking for a multilayerd tip ( with all the benefits it brings) similar in softness to an elkmaster. I tried the kamui black, brown, da vinci and they all play a little hard for my taste. I like the soft hit of the elk master. Some advice?

I usually prefer soft tips and I have played for 3 months with an elkmaster and I liked it, but I decided to change it because it needed a lot of manteinance. A friend suggested me to try a Da Vinci tip which is ( based on his opinion and from the hardness chart on pooldawg) very similar in...

Hi Knowledge of systems is not a mandatory requisite in order to play good billiards but I think having some reference can help your game.. what are in your opinion the systems you must know? At the moment I use the 5 corner system and the plus system.

I'm thinking about putting a Kamui Black SS on my playing cue. I used a kamui black medium for a month but then I decided to took it off because after very little time the tip become very hard to the point it was almost unplayable. I know some players who sand their kamui tips very often and...

Hi do you have some advice on playing short angle shots? Some player said to me to play this kind of shots without any english, they should be quite easy shots but looks like I miss these types of shots very often. http://CueTable.com/C/?@04AXFM4BFSB3CWXU@

I was talking with a friend of mine and he said there are various type of elkmaster tips: the classic and the chrome version... I have never heard of different "types" of elkmaster tips, so I was a bit doubtful about what my friend said.... as far as you know there are different types of...

Hi I currently play with an Adam blomdahl cue which weight 18,5oz and I feel it is a little too light for my taste. I played pool with a 21oz cue... I think in a game where you must drive the cueball several rails a heavier cue would work better than a lighter cue, so why the most common weight...

In this period ( I installed it 2 months ago) I'm using a kamui black M and I'm satisfied of its performance but I have to sand it very often because after a very short period of time it becomes very hard to the point it's almost unplayable. Somebody has similar issues?

I play using a backpause. I have a very good player constantly telling me I shoud get rid of the backpause because he says "it's like jumping without taking a run-up and you create less english this way". This guy has been playing for 40+ years and he is a very good player ( averaging 1 in 3...

Today I was watching a guy playing and he looked very confused on what was the exit angle on the third rail. "It is 17" another guy says "no, it is 15 or 16". They were calculating the exit angle on the third rail in order to use the angolo 50, a very popular diamond system in Italy. Basically...

Always thought a smaller tip gives more sidespin but I discovered it's not the case because the contact point with the cb is the same. So, what's the point of a smaller tip? I understand a smaller tip is mandatory playing snooker because the balls are smaller, but in carom? The balls are bigger...

After another very poor performance I realized pool is probably not for me. We know that you need great focus and confidence to play at a high level but I'm not a very confident person in the everyday life. When I'm at the table I don't feel focused and confident but I'm most of the time...
