Making a new thread for visibility. Bought this cue a few years ago. It was mentioned that it was most likely a loose weight bolt but I looked inside and my cue doesn’t have one. The cue I bought is light, I think 18.5oz or something close to that. Not sure if I had it removed at some point or...

I bought a Predator Roadline with a Revo shaft and unilock joint about five years ago. Over the last year it started to make a rattling noise occasionally after off-center hits. Now it does that very frequently, and recently it got to the point that it does it regardless of where the cue ball is...

I noticed that years ago Shane’s stroke used to look a bit different than it does today. He’s always had that habit of turning his wrist a bit on the final stroke, I think as compensation because he would let his right elbow move slightly sideways away from his body, but it seems like the bent...

Seems like it wasn’t uncommon during the era of Mosconi and a bit beyond that. I don’t know of any greats from later generations using it. My knowledge is of course limited to what I’ve been able to gather from videos I’ve seen. In modern generations I can’t think of a single player using it...

Looking to buy one and I was surprised that to get the adaptor bumper and the extension is in the $110-120 range. Why the hell is it so costly? Does anyone know where I can get something much cheaper?

I don’t remember how many times they played and who was the overall winner. I saw them play in Vegas during a BCA event and it was the most insane match I’ve ever seen. I think Alex made a comeback and won. Also, where can those matches be found? I had a DVD of one, I think it was the one I saw...

I’m noticing that some top players will put on a cue extension for a shot that they don’t need it for. For example Orcullo screws one on to his cue when he shots the 9ball halfway through this video:

Does the weight of the jump cue make it easier to execute different jump shot techniques or does it generally not matter as long as you have good technique?

They both cost about the same. I can’t afford the Predator BK Rush so I’m going to choose between these two cues. Has anyone tried the Impakt?

I can only buy from Seyberts because I have some credit there. I could also use a better jump cue, so I’m looking at jump break cues as well. Or maybe I get a break cue and jump cue separately. My budget is around $600, I could maybe stretch it to $700. The cues I’m looking at: Predator BK...

If you have good technique and break with a jump-break cue is there anything that will make your break worse off vs breaking with a cue made for just breaking? Like does the extra weight of an extra pin have any negative effect or anything like that? I’m looking to buy a break cue but I could...

I’m looking for a break tip that isn’t phenolic, but if it feels and hits like a phenolic that’s fine. This is what I have to choose from: Samsara White Diamond Bulletproof Taom White/Yellow/Green Tiger Dynamite Tiger Break Cyber Break White Pechaur Gold Break Kamui Black Hard Kamui Clear...

If you are right handed should your right hand be directly over your right foot, or should it be on the outside of where your foot is? I’ve seen good players that have their back arm and thus their back hand tucked in really close to their body inside of the line where their back foot is, I’ve...

I’m talking about this video: Vilmos had to foul twice in a row to put Dong that situation. So if Dong had managed to get it safe and then Vilmos fouled, would the 3 foul rule count against Vilmos? In other words do the fouls of Vilmos in between getting Dong on 2 fouls count or does Dong’s...

I want to strengthen every muscle that’s involved because sometimes I have days where everything just feels kinda weak and shaky. I have a neurological/neuromuscular issue that causes it but I’m wondering if I can help lessen how bad it is by strengthening certain muscles. I’ve been lifting...

This is something I’ve never fully understood, probably because I don’t have a good enough stroke. If you play a one rail kick and get a full contact on the object ball, and if you put a lot of topspin will it draw the cue ball back? And if you apply backspin will it act as top? When I practice...

Did Hard Times, Plush Pocket, Butera’s, Stix, Golden Cue or any other notable pool halls close down?

I know of Buddy Hall dumping in the finals, and I watched the video of the semifinal of David Howard vs Lebron. Did Howard dump too? He missed a pretty easy 9ball. Was Mike Lebron involved too or did it happen without his knowledge?

I don’t think there are many people that will play him after he beat T-Rex. I think Orcullo would step up though. Yes I know I’m 6 months late but I just watched the match today 😁

Is there anyone known to have a harder break than he did? Is there a record for the fastest recorded break speed?
