    Help with rails

    Hello all, I recently purchased some new K55 rubber rails for my table and they are plenty long enough, but not as wide. I test fit one before moving on to gluing and there is about 3mm worth of space below the rail. Will this affect how it plays? Should I purchase new rails and send these...

    Inconsistent play?

    I am looking for some tips to help become a more consistent player. I have been playing for about 15 years, and I am now 31 and don't get to play nearly as much as I used to.

    Drills for improvement

    I am looking for some new drills to help me raise my level of play. I only get to shoot about 6-8 hours a week right now, and I am looking for a few drills to implement into my routine.

    New Players HXT

    I picked up my first Players HXT cue last night, and I have to say that I was definitely surprised by the way the cue plays. I have owned many cues over the years, and for the cost, it is hard to beat this cue. I have a friend who gets a discount on cues, so I picked it up for $97 total, when it...

    Playing pool with snooker cue?

    I was just wondering if anybody has had any luck or experience playing pool with a snooker cue? I am a bigger guy with thick fingers, and I like the smaller shafts that a snooker cue has, but have never had the opportunity to play with one. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

    First Predator shaft experience!

    First off let me say wow! I have heard all this talk about how long it takes people to get used to using low deflection shafts. I found the transition extremely easy. I normally shoot with my Lucasi cue with stock shaft, but tonight one of my friends let me put his 314z on my Lucasi butt, and...

    Consistency issues

    I have been playing since I was 15, and I am now 28. When I was younger, I had a lot more time to spend playing pool so I was a a lot more consistent back then. I have never owned my own table, so I only get to shoot somewhere in the 6-10 hour/week range. My mechanics are pretty solid, but I...

    Getting the most out of practice sessions?

    I was just wondering what other pool players do to get the most out of their practice sessions? What types of drills, shots, thought processes, and pre-shot routines? I have my own set of drill and such, but I would like to see what other players work on also. I normally start out by doing a...

    Best j/b tip?

    I recently bought a new j/b cue, and it has a phenolic one piece ferrule/tip on it. I am wanting to change this to a different tip. I was looking at white diamond tips, samsara, and extra hard talisman. I was wondering which would be the best tip for a j/b cue? I like the look of the white...

    Consistency issues?

    I have been playing off and on for almost 13 years now, and I am having issues with playing consistent pool. I am 28 years old now, and I find that when I was a little younger I never had this issue much. I have always played fairly well, and I go through my pre-shot routine everytime before I...

    Break/ jump tip conversion?

    I recently bought a Fury j/b cue, and I was wondering if I could take the phenolic down to a flat surface and put a Samsara break/jump tip on it, or if I should replace the whole ferrule and then put a tip on it. I would rather go with the first option if possible, but either will work. I do...

    My first trip to Amsterdam Billiards!

    I have to say that I was very impressed with Amsterdam Billiards. The environment, and venue were amazing. The people were real cool, and the tables played great. Met a nice gent named Sal that goes there, and even though I had never actually played it, we played some straight pool together...

    32 oz. break cue!

    I took a break cue I had just sitting around the house, and turned it into a monster! It was just sitting in a case, so I took it out, and took the weight out. It actually had a bunch of tiny little beads in it for the weight, so I took some wax, and put them all in the butt of the cue...
