I heard they play like total Schmidt.

Capito threw a visible tantrum at Liushan open when Zhang Yi came back to beat him, stropping around the table, furiously wiping his cue, refusing to help take balls out of the pockets, face like thunder. All things you can do without getting reprimanded by the referee.

First, gently lean the assembled cue at a slight angle against the wall. Next, you're going to take the sole of your foot, and raise it to meet the joint pin of the cue. Now, you're going to want to flex that knee here (some like to do more of a spinning roundhouse style), and thrust the sole of...

Bump Bump. Looking for sale, not trade (unless you have something that blows my mind of course)

https://www.bikjapan.com/cartsys/products/list Orochi (Which I believe are made in the same place as Ko brothers/Wu Kin Lin flavor of the month, Geez cues, are also made) Make a jump/break that involves separate handles. I am surprised more companies do not make them in this way tbh.

100% agree

It would, and like I said earlier, unmanned shot clocks can't be too far away in the future, or that complicated to create.

Mezz made one. I've tried it and it's horrible.

Do pool cues really need schematics, blueprints and tech 3D videos? I'm not saying they needed all the flowery poetic prose either. What they need is physical stores with tables in, where you can go and hit a ball and decide if you like it... But such a thing as a physical store is almost...

It is, and yes they can. I was given one by a predator player, who was forbidden to use it (even with logos covered). It balances very nicely without the weight on my butt, but I assume the weight would be for players who prefer a more forward weighted cue. I bought another one second hand to...

"Predator fanboys" are the wurst. Amen.

I was given a Hayakawa Kielwood shaft and it is fantastic. I would not have bought it, the same way I would not pay for carbon. But having been given it, I haven't used anything except this for a couple of months now and am thoroughly impressed.

Yes, the imported melamine has a coarse appearance (grain, dots), but superior play. The domestic appearance is cleaner, but much weaker in terms of durability and play. I have limited experience with ivory, but the two or three shafts I have hit with (ILC and American made) did not feel as nice...

Melamine hits really nice I favour it over XTC, Ivory or Micarta (which are the materials I have been aware of trying - I know there are others) I have replaced all of my playing shaft ferrules with melamine imported from Germany (Chinese domestic is not good) Couldn't be happier. The feel...

I watched him try a handful of shafts (and constantly taking a weight bolt in and out) over the course of a day here in China. It's a sticker/some kind of directional prompt I would assume.

Unmanned shot clocks can't be far off in the future... Every table at my local hall has a camera, so surely the camera can be linked to the scoreboard somehow? I mean, the camera is used to keep score on the snooker table without any human intervention, so surely it can be used for pool... Pool...

As you said, most peoples instinct is to remove it. I leave it on when practicing, and as a result, make no real effort to remove it in a game. A referee can do it, or an opponent if they feel so inclined. There are occasions where I will move it for a particular shot, but it annoys the hell out...
