    Your favorite TAR match...

    The first TAR match I bought was when Shane played Scott at Big Dogs in Des Moine. I was hooked. At that time, I was just starting to open my eyes to more and better play than what my local APA had to offer. I learned a lot from all those matches. By far, my favorite match was when SVB Horse F'd...

    Tunica 10 Ball...

    This DCC served up southern style, now I know that Accu-stats.com is streaming the 9 ball banks, 1 hole, and 9 ball tournies, but InsidePool.com has a free stream going of 10 ball. Is the 10 ball an ongoing tournament this week, or are these action matches being streamed? -Dave

    wrap vs. wrapless

    Hello everyone. I just purchased my first wrapless Sugartree cue ( the 2008 TAR cue) and I must say that although I have played with a SW with a wrap for many years, I feel that, apart from this being the absolute best hitting cue I have had to date, that I get more feel and a better...

    What is considered "heavy" shafts?

    Hello everyone. I just picked up a plain jane Sugartree cue by Eric Crisp. It has a wormy maple handle, with an East Indian rosewood forearm and buttsleeve. The cue hits amazing, and I have never seen or played with shafts that are like this. The grain is super tight, and the shafts feel very...

    Streaming from 2011 SBE?

    Good evening everyone. I was just wondering if anyone knew if the pro players 10 ball tournament was going to be streamed live during the super billiards expo. I believe InsidePool did it last year. I have not seen anything yet about this, and really hope I can get to watch some great 10 ball...

    The Sugartree TAR cue

    Just picked this cue up from my good friend Tommy. I just wanted to say that I have never hit with a cue that plays this well. The workmanship and the playability is simply fantastic. Im kicking myself for not getting one sooner. Eric, keep up the good work!! -Dave

    Dings in the shaft drive me nuts...removal method

    Hello everyone, and happy new year. I'm not sure about the rest of you, but whenever I get a ding in the shaft of my cue, it drives me up a wall. Sometimes to the point where I have to switch out shafts or cues. Anyways, after years of trying to get past this, and failing every time, I have...

    Good evening everyone. I have checked out Theactionreport.com, went to the store, and I see that Justin's TAR patches are out-of-stock. I was just wondering if anyone out there might have a couple that they would like to get rid of, cause I wanna slap some on my new case. Thanks! -Dave

    World 10 Ball??

    I was just wondering if anyone knew if there is going to be ( or already was) the World 10 Ball Championship going on this week? I remember watching the live stream from Manila last year right around Thanksgiving and I haven't heard or seen anything about this event this year. Thanks in advance...

    My new improvement

    I wanna make this a quick post. I have found out, more recently, that my game has shot up a ball better due to the fact that I have focused on letting my stroke go. In other words, I have been using the full lenght of my stroke on most shots, and it seems to straighten the whole process out...

    The Bustyboening style....

    Hello everyone. Lately, I have been watching a lot of videos of Bustamante and SVB, paying particular attention to each of their strokes. As I watch them more closely, it seems to be that Shane's stroke has alot of the same nuances as Francisco's does, only his set is longer, and his backstroke...

    SVB break too big?

    I watched the Poison Dp tourney via Bigtruck this weekend, and Ray did yet another fantastic job bringing us all the coverage! One thing that I never thought I would say, but did it seem as though Shane's break shot seemed too big for the table? On a Diamond, or at all the other tourneys I have...

    Why does this happen on break shot...

    Hello everyone. Lately, I have been watching alot of 10 ball and have been paying close attention to Shane Van Boening's break. It seems as though he is "popping" the break shot. Kinda like a quick wrist pop, and dropping his elbow/arm into the shot. I tried this style of break, and was able to...

    Slowing down the final forward stroke...

    I was recently experiencing a lot more difficulty in pocketing balls, and after going through a checklist of fundamentals ( grip, stance, etc.), I came to realize that I was rushing the final forward stroke through the cueball. At first, I thought it may be that I wasn't following through, but...

    Grip question

    I am just wondering what the correct amount of grip pressure is the most conducive to producing a fluid, accurate, and repeatable stroke. I watch alot of the Filipino players strokes, and they all seem to be gripping the cue very lightly. They seem to make the cue and the cueball "dance" with...
