    What are they even playing for? They should have made it a points based game or something. Where all four compete on a leaderboard. Not sure I can be bothered to pay attention anymore.

    Barnhart Roasted Maple Shafts, aka Kielwood

    Some brands here in Asia make a KW shafts specifically for breaking. Could be cored, maybe not. Not really looked into it. I have used my Hayakawa KW playing shaft to spread them, but only MR format. Used it both with original LBM ferrule, and the Melamine ferrule I replaced it with. Did a...

    strange opinion plus question

    I thought it was some iteration of the Isle of Man flag for a while, but it appears that it's Sicilian. Pretty funky.

    strange opinion plus question

    This reads like a monologue from the start of a bad movie lol Is it normal for people to talk about themselves in this way? If you have a cue already, use it. Try other peoples. If you like them, buy one of your own :)

    Lowest deflection kielwood

    Hayakawa have a break cue with a KW shaft. Tried it out. Broke just as well as anything else.

    Lowest deflection kielwood

    I have used a variety of KW shafts, and some of them are better than others. Some are coated or waxed with a finish. Some are not. I would say it was equal to or perhaps smoother than untreated maple shafts. It's certainly less prone to collecting dirt and smears than CF. I'd say it is likely...

    Lowest deflection kielwood

    Agree with you. I think they are all much the same maple, roasted, carbon (minus taper, sound, texture etc). But the reason we don't see KW shafts pushed more is the cost vs resale value. The additional time and cost does not equate to the same level of profit as a 5$ carbon tube sold for...

    9 Ball Format

    Very popular on the Chinese table, they like to play this or 6 ball in a ring game for small money - sometimes they rack the opposite way that is shown in the picture, and if you hit it right, the horizontal balls are wired to the corners. There are a few tricks, but I am not aware of them. My...

    All tech nonsense. Buy a cue, play with and figure it out.

    Some Chinese 8 ball events are legitimately good. and Duya 9 ball is awesome. UP is... shite. Tried thinking of a nicer word, but can't think of one.

    Yep, agree with you. Life is full of all kinds of people. Some are very disturbed.

    Custom & Production Cue Wraps

    I think the wrap is slightly higher up due to it being a cue manufactured in Asia, but I cannot say for definite if this is a trend. My hand sits generally on the ring beneath the wrap. The wrap itself, is more of a marker than a grip. As for balance, I am not sure exactly, but due to the low...

    Custom & Production Cue Wraps

    No not really any impact, occasionally when playing a ball from the rails, my thumb and forefinger make contact with the bottom of the wrap on my cue. Besides that, my hands grip fits on the space below the wrap, between it and the 2cm extension I have. I am just over 6ft tall, and use a Zen cue...

    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    You're right, but even this market is shrinking, as people would rather buy something from their own backyard than across the ocean. I still know a few people who like to spend big on American hand made cues, and know the market well. Even then, lots tend to go REALLY big, with south west, black...
