I use a Cuetec Cynergy, and I have since they came out. I am very happy with them. I have seen and heard good things about the SMO. I have not used the SMO, but I believe that is has lower deflection than the Cynergy. For me, coming from wood after many years, I thought the Cynergy would be...

A lot of people here have mentioned that one should consider equipment and their opponent, and this is (of course) true. I think another factor is whether you are in a short race vs. a long gambling session. For me, a race to three is almost like a race to shots that you can execute better...

The shortstop on pool has two videos on gloves. In the latest, I think he recommends the coda glove. I haven't tried it. I have tried Cuetec (the thumb is too short), and a version of the 3 seconds glove which many players are using or have used (Yapp and Gorst). I don't love the 3 seconds...

I prefer Predator events, because the prevailing camera perspective is slightly further away from the table, such you can sometimes see all of the player as he gets down on the shot. I think the matchroom perspective of being so close to the table or directly above it, zoomed in like a video...

The people here mentioning parents are right to include them as a significant factor. I agree with the sentiments of SJM here, but I would go a bit further. Using the moneyboard on the AZBilliards home page (and I will admit that I don't know how accurate it is) Wiktor Zielinski has made...

I have a delta 13, and I think I prefer it to the plastic racks. I wonder if the wood racks would get indentations over time. I am choosing to not worry about it and use my delta-13. Personally, I can't stand the noise of the delta-13 without some kind of insert (even a bad insert works...

Exactly, imagine if it were the other way around and Kaci was doing karate kicks left and right after beating Earl. kollegedave

Jay, you are a great fan, great announcer, and all-around cool dude. However, you are mistaken on Stu not being a player. He is an accomplished 14.1 player. (I hope he doesn't mind me saying so...I don't think he is looking for action :) ). kollegedave

I thought an extension would be a total game changer for me. I had one made out of wood, and it feels like I strapped a boat anchor onto the back of my cue. I can't make the easiest ball. I look like I play pool on the spectrum or something. Then, I used Miller's feather weight Mezz...

If match room paid for Russian Kenny to play, they deserve every bit of his antics. I think it's what they wanted, honestly. Basically, that's what they were doing a few years ago when they were bending over backwards to put Earl on the MC team. They want to market "Americans behaving badly"...

Please update the thread when you are able to use it. Where I live, I need bloodhounds and an Indian scout to find a cue mechanic. kollegedave

If someone wanted to pay in a less stable currency, then I would expect to get paid more. If the promoter isn't offering more money in exchange for accepting crypto, then give me money. Most professionals get paid in money. I don't know why pool players should accept less, unless there is...

Read the Inner Game of Tennis by Tim Galloway. It will help. kollegedave

That sounds like pool heaven. kollegedave

I am told they have tables there where a sign says "no gambling cheap" or something to that affect. I am worried I would be in deep water with sharks there. I am less of a shark and more of piranha or something like that. kollegedave

He was a better shot-maker and thinker than any 475 should be, so it was both. He was just better than 475, full stop. However, like I said, I think his robustness was low. He may have been a one-pocket player that got lost and entered a 9-ball event some weekend, and maybe he ended up with...

Does your pool room have a 700-plus Fargo-rated player that is willing to gamble cheapish? When I say cheapish, I mean $20 -- $50 / game one-pocket, or maybe short one-pocket races for $100 dollar sets, or something near this. There is no need to name him here, if you know of such a player...

Recently, I drew a guy in a one pocket tournament that was a 475, but I don't think his robustness was all that high. I beat him, but it was MUCH harder than it should be for a 475. If I was to estimate his speed, I would put him at 600-630. Even though I won, and was the last 600-ish player...

I don't recall ever hearing of Ralf Souquet in action. kollegedave
