Very interesting. Some here would disagree. I presume you are familiar with McDermott's H-series cues with the butt that allows weights to be placed anywhere along the length of the butt --- like you did. I have wondered what initial weight to buy in an H-series cue if you are used to an...

Posted in March: And here: And here but no later post on his results with the Siege: The numbers must mean lowest deflection with the Revo: Same post thread:

My 600-day streak of posting on Reddit ended when I posted there pictures of t-shirts. Reddit permanently banned me for having violated r/Billiards Rule #3: AI slop is not allowed. That includes pool apps. Please create your own content to be posted here. Free apps allowed over at the...

What do you mean? Why would an aluminum cue stick feel lighter than a wood cue stick even though they both weighed the same?

So many cues are similar looking --- not the Becue. Below are pictures from Becue's website. What did you tell them to do?

eBay had one in June for $370 Other stroke trainers could work okay, too. _____

As far as fastening a cue tip to a bridge that is normally used without a cue tip fastened to it? This is not it. I have a hard time imagining, however, any normal bridge that has a cue tip fastened to it that could match the performance of this wheeled unit. A major problem, though, is...

As far as basing the danger of damaging pool balls by the balls’ hardness, an earlier post by AZer JSchellin99 and discussed by Dr Dave found the highest hardness score was 99 and only five cue tips scored that. Only one of the five had laminated leather — the Tiger Break cue tip. Mezz's Black...

That is the issue --- will it help or not? If it helps, let the crippled, the cheats, the stumblebums, and the saints use it.

The $500 Viking Siege carbon fiber is Viking's lower-priced CF shaft compared to their $600 Whyte Carbon Fiber Performance, the $675 Fedor Gorst Triple 60 FG57, or the $750 "full custom Whyte Carbon fiber shaft". Bergman wrote on Facebook in June this year that [Viking had gone] “above and...

The end-all system for determining the best balance point would be McDermott’s H-series butt that allows weights to be placed anywhere along butt length. In a recent YouTube, Average Joes Pool varied the balance point two inches from 17-15/16 to 19-9/16 inches by placing weights on either end...

Comments about Starkey cues and NOT his obituary here , a review, a weird story of a fellow who bought and returned the same Starkey cue twice, photos of wood pin, ditto, and a metal-pin Starkey. _

Buy Jacoby's latest carbon fiber shaft --- V5. Pay extra and buy the Jacoby Ultra Super Pro wood shaft turned down to 10.5mm. The Ultra is a shaft made of 140 pieces of veneer. Buy a Justabridge. Buy a Wheat carbon fiber shaft --- the lowest deflection in Dr Dave's tests Buy a Whyte Carbon...

For no good reason, spend $50 on Paladin Precision cue tip with a bottom that needs no prep prior to installing (looks no different except being black than the hard plastic in Kamui Clear and Rhino's Time Crystal). Arrives in a metal case with foam to protect tip. :

Under Tiger's hardness-ranking system, the medium Everest is softer than its medium-hard Emerald --- only its break tips ranked hard or super hard: Dynamite, Break, and IceBreaker. Tips sorted below with the hardest tip first; prices from PoolDawg IceBreaker $29 Hardness: Super Hard+...

See video on this problem by Schulte Coach and his Why Your Cue Goes Offline — Is Your Shoulder Position Wrong? (Part 3)

Even for older carbon graphite shafts, put a thick pad and a Elkmaster on it. This isn't exactly no ferrule---see a portion of the ferrule/vault plate still inside the CF tube. Other photo of a thck pad and tip on a one-piece ferrule-less cue.

Regarding the other end of the ferrule that touches the cue tip, a good method for making the ferrule flush with the cue tip is by using Tweeten's Cue Top Sander on ferrule and cue tip. I only twirl sander back and forth a few inches and not by rotating with the handle. Follow this up with...

Do you mean that the Tiger Icebreaker+ Break cue tip damages the cue ball or the cue tip? I found chipping on a cue ball using a Temu tip that was some kind of ceramic. This wasn't miscuing---this was just hitting cue ball hard on a break. Others find that only with G10 tip but PoolDawg...

Maybe this is the group with SVB, but Jay Helfert recommended practicing for hours at the table. This is instruction advocating mindlessness to improve. I think being in the zone is super way of playing and one that has a magical reliance on one's subconscious. It is over-rated, however...
