    Pool players are poor.

    They need better survey sample.... think they must have polled city folk They have hunting as more rich than poor Poor people in the country hunt constantly but for food not sport Sport hunters tend to piss me off

    Big Question - Do you break with your main playing cue or not

    Never break with my Huebler but until it got stolen I always broke with my 20+ yr old Excalibur which also served as my bar/take anywhere cue Not the best cue in the world but fiberglass coated shaft nice and stiff for the break and after 20 yrs of rough handling and things I would never do with...

    Non-scientific chalk comparison

    I would think chalks like magic leave more marks on the cue ball at least when I’ve tried them This I think increases the likelihood of things like skids but that’s probably something you could find reading Dr Dave’s reports Also depends on what you’re playing and how often you can clean off...

    How much chalk

    After trying several yesterday blue diamond or lava were fairly clean and I didn’t get cue marks so would be my choice in that kind of situation Normal play I’m switching to silver cup National tournament chalk as it wasn’t much more than masters and less messy. Played with regular silver cup...

    Non-scientific chalk comparison

    Wine nah not my thing but if someone wants to send me sample pack of expensive scotches..... As for the chalk it was all a crap shoot in the end It is worth a buck or two extra per dozen for less mess to me None of them made me any better at shooting though:frown:

    Non-scientific chalk comparison

    That’s what everyone kept telling me.... I always used silver cup over masters because whether it’s how I’m chalking or just a fluke of my le pros I always had the opposite experience.... my buddies triangles however preferred the masters go figure Add in the vast variety of tips out there and...

    Non-scientific chalk comparison

    Chalk every shot and I don’t believe there would be other than amount of mess and the possibility that certain chalk may not agree with certain tips as well as others I’ve read and watched dr Dave’s videos and can’t dispute them. My test was not scientific and really was more about finding the...

    Non-scientific chalk comparison

    Didn’t have any morakami to try got the others in a sample pack Blue diamond probably be my choice if the price was lower just not enough leg up on the ntc to justify the price difference for me Found it interesting the difference between what the tips prefer

    How many cues? Why so many?

    Sorry I’m just a curious sob that can and does stick his foot in his mouth Do you use different cues for different tables or games? Do you set them up differently as far as tips and radius?
