Just wanted to post my experience from changing form one to another. I have been using high deflection cues and BHE from the first day i started playing pool. It took me a long time before i totally got how BHE worked, and what the different variables are. I finaly had 5 lines drawn with a...

Hi all, In the past i have posted some in depth analyses together with Collin about powerbreaking. i posted some slowed down break videos on youtube, other guys also posted them, but they are all still to fast. Some breaks are finished in 4 or 5 frames. Is there anyone who has a highspeed...
