The HX8 is a LD Hybrid shaft with a pro taper. Follow the link I provided. What I like better about the Lucasi over the CF is the smaller tip and thinner shaft, 11.75mm. It allows better cue ball control. I can spin the cue ball around the the table like there's no tomorrow It took me a long...

The shaft on the left is a brand new Lucasi shaft model HX8 UBC I received yesterday. The UBC is Uniloc Black Collar. This will change if it has rings like the one on the right. The one on the right came on my Lucasi Hybrid cue. LH40 I believe. It is no longer made and I don't know the model...

Are you still sending the tacking template?

Aramith should make their balls a little more identifiable. I have a set of Aramith balls but there is no indication they are Aramith. Just the fact I bought them at the local billiards store and it says Aramith on the box. Simonis has security built into their cloth, Aramith should do the same...

I almost checked out of Amazon with a set of Aramith balls but I noticed they were made of POLYESTER. How common are polyester Aramith balls. Price was over $200 plus tax. I thought all Aramith balls were phenolic resin. Aramith 11-111 2-1/4" Regulation Size Premier Billiard/Pool Balls...

I think you're one of the few that got what I was trying to say. I had a $100 Dufferin cue and was quite happy with it. I had gotten used to it and had adjusted to the cue without even knowing I had. I knew nothing about deflection until I started playing seriously about 7 months ago. It was one...

Well guys, I not trying to say there isn't a difference in shafts. What I am saying is if I play with and have adjusted to a non LD shaft, how does an expensive LD shaft help me. What I found was a small period of time to readjust to the LD CF shaft. I don't hit or pot balls at a higher rate...

I've been playing pool seriously for about 7 mos now. My kids bought me a CF cue with a low deflection shaft. It took a while to get used to but I persevered. Besides the sleek look of the cue I fail to see how this would improve my game. My $100 Dufferin, regular deflection cue suited me just...

I bought a new break cue with a phenolic tip. Is the tip the reason for the tinny high pitched sound when the cue ball is hit? The sound really bothers me. I've put the shaft on different butts but the sound stays the same. Would changing the tip fix this as the sound really bothers me. It's a...

You score less as the pints increase.

Thank you. Much appreciated.

We used to play a version of carom on a pool table with pockets using 2 red balls and a cue ball. You got points for hitting the reds with the cue ball, pocketing the cue bal off one or both reds. Does anyone have or a link to the rules and the pints awarded for each carom shot? I found them a...

Why do you guys use woolite? Will any laundry soap work? I just had my table recovered with Simonis cloth and would like to keep it as clean as possible.

Is it worth it?

I play on 760 in the league I joined which was one of the factors in my cloth choice. There was no difference in price between the Simonis cloths. What rubber are you using?

Thanks. Didn't know that.

I installed the mbs rubber and a couple cuts were pretty bad, plus I wanted to upgrade the rubber. Is the tour edition rubber a good choice? I went with 760 because the choices here are very limited and 760 was available in tournament blue. I could have gotten 860 in in purple, orange, red...

I am recovering my table next week with 760 cloth. I did the work the last so I am replacing the rubber too due some bad cuts. Is championship tour edition a decent choice? I know this has been asked before but the posts I can find people like it or totally shit on it. Not much help. I...

I use my carbon fibre cue for playing and breaking. I used to carry 2 cues but I can break better with my CF cue.

What y'all's opinion Tour Edition Rubber?
