After 9 years of playing league, I'm finally going to the Allen Hopkins' Super Billiards Expo in March, and mainly to get a new break cue (I'm leaning towards the Predator Sport BK2) and two shafts for my shooting cues (undecided between the OB1 or a predator). So with this in mind I have two...

I'm about to purchase a new break cue, and I have choice of getting a shaft with a phenolic tip, or upgrading to a predator shaft (314 or 'Z') and have them install a Tiger Everest, Tiger Sniper, or a Moori tip. I've tried phenolic and I really don't like the hit, but I like the fact that...

I'm just curious if anyone has tried or tested the Poison Billiards - VX 2.9 Jump Break Pool Cue. I'm seriously considering buying one, but I just don't want to get stuck with a lemon break cue. Has anyone read or received any reviews or feedback on this break cue...

Is there anything unique about the tip on the Predator BK2 cue. What I mean is, is it different from the standard phenolic tips you get on other break cues. I've read where it's described as a "Linen Phenolic", as well as being described as a "Phenolic and Carbon Fiber" tip. Are these the same...

I was browsing around on eBay and all of a sudden I see an advertisement for a series of books by Kevin Trudeau. And some of the comments left by individuals were less than flattering. Referring to him as a quack, a charlatan and a scoundrel. One reviewer stated: ...I saw a review this evening...

I just got a good kick in my "Game" and that's thanks to the new DVD from Joe Villalpando titled "Pool I.Q. - Kick Shots". This instructional DVD concentrates solely on kick shots, and is easy to follow, and doesn't overwhelm you with too much information. I found it to be very helpful, and I...

I just got a Bob Thompson cue and I really love it. You really have to see these cues to believe them. The craftsmanship and design is definitely one of a kind. Mr. Thompson is a small operation out of West Virginia and offer's some of the most unique cue's you'll ever see. Bob's production...

The state of Nevada recently passed legislation restricting smoking in Las Vegas hotels, restaurants, and convention venues. This means smoking will no longer be allowed at the APA National Championships held in the Riviera’s tournament rooms in April and August. Here's the entire article...

Here's the deal. I have a Predator BK (hard sumo leather tipped) break cue that I use to break with during my league matches, that are played on 9 foot tables, where the cue balls are the same size as all the other balls. But when I play on coin operated 7 foot, bar room tables, that have those...

I have a guy who is making me a custom cue and he asked me if I wanted a laminated or standard shaft.... And I have no idea which to choose or what the basic differences are. Now I have a 2 predator cues (a PK2 and a BK2), 3 viking cues, a muecci and a mcdermott, but I never paid any attention...

Is it just me or does anyone else find people with the "CLAP" annoying? I'm not talking about the medical condition, I'm talking about people at major events who clap after every shot, and I mean every shot! Now I know that most of the pros make some pretty spectacular shots, and on those...

I just got my new Russ Espiritu cue and I have to say that I really, really, really love this cue. It's my first custom cue, and I figured that after 6 years of league, I was overdue. Anyway, not only does it look good, but I love the hit. I'm also so glad that I use tan chalk, so I won't be...

Basically, how do you rack 'em? Most of us have seen people constantly shuffling balls around while putting together an 8Ball rack, and while watching this I find myself asking, "Is there any rhyme or reason to what this person is doing, other than making sure the 8Ball is in the center"? Then...

Does anyone own, or have tried, or knows anything about the "Universal SmartShaft"? What I think is interesting is it claims to be able to fit any cue. Here's an excerpt: FITS INSTANTLY ON ANY CUE The Patented Adapter System gives you choice and convenience because it allows the SmartShaft...

After the BCA website recommended the book “Aiming On The Cutting Edge” written by Todd “The Impaler” Leveck, I went to his website and attempted to order his book and the other training materials he listed. My first problem occurred when I tried to order certain items, and the process stalled...

I got my Predator BK2 last week and I have to admit that the Predator BK2 hits like dynamite. Those balls really explode. In my 9 ball match, I made 3 balls on the break at least 3 times, which helped me win one of my matches and I was making (at least 1 or 2) balls on every break. Although the...
