    Does anyone know if Jeremy Jones is a hard smoker? Looking at his brownish beard around the lips I would assume so.

    Predator Roadline in Matte finish... What is it?

    Hey, modern Predator Roadline forearms are coated with a matte finish. What's that exactly? Is it oil or matte lacquer? Do you think, you could remove the shiny finish from an older roadline and apply a matte finish once that it was shiny?

    Any experience with Asian break cues?

    Hi, what's your experience with buying carbon break cues from Asia. I'm not talking about no name brands or the poorly copied expensive brands. We now have some very established low price brands like Wolf, OKHealing, Konllen or even Rhino from the Philippines who produce a range of different...

    I would let Styer out of this. He is the american player with the best technique and shot quality by far!

    Mosconi Cup 2024, Nov. 30-Dec. 3, Orlando

    So when you're looking for only five (5) capable players to compete well in the MC, you really think there's a significant difference between a pool of 330 million people to 730 million?

    Mosconi Cup 2024, Nov. 30-Dec. 3, Orlando

    It's not about the one very good player who comes from a certain country. A good player can develop in any country if he starts playing the sport at a very early age and has the passion. Of course, good pool players can also develop in Albania or the UK or even the US. And by the way: UK has a...

    Mosconi Cup 2024, Nov. 30-Dec. 3, Orlando

    Leagues and national championships in Germany are being held by the DBU, the national head organisation of billiards. It's not government-funded. It's an association which is funded by commercials and contributions of the local federations (which itself receive contributions from local clubs)...

    Mosconi Cup 2024, Nov. 30-Dec. 3, Orlando

    Which European model exactly is government funded? The heart of European pool is also the league system. However, it is set up professionally. The basis is the many local clubs. And even for low amateur players you have coaches, teams and leagues they can participate in. You have to learn how to...

    Mosconi Cup 2024, Nov. 30-Dec. 3, Orlando

    As a European myself, I really wish the USA would win this cup again, just to have a little more excitement and to revalue this tournament. But the fact is, all five players of team Europe are top 15 players of the world rankings. Even the degraded Filler and Oushan are top 15. On the other...

    Suitable tip for a Revo 12.4?

    You would consider 78 as hard? That's about the value of a Kamui Black Medium.

    Suitable tip for a Revo 12.4?

    Well I bought it out of interest to see if I like it or not. I guess you just have to buy and try. I played a high quality custom wood shaft using a Kamui medium tip which made a very good combination of good cue ball control with a solid hit. Now the medium tip on the Revo feels a little hard...

    Suitable tip for a Revo 12.4?

    So you rather go with softer tips on a Revo as far as I understand your experience?

    Suitable tip for a Revo 12.4?

    Hey, I recently changed to a Revo 12.4 and would like to change the tip. First thing i noticed when playing the shaft was that it feels very stiff, very direct, almoust metallic. So I'm hoping for some experience of yours which tips might be most suitable for Revo shafts. Thanks

    Gloves with closed thumb

    Thanks for the advice of trying IBS gloves! First I bought them in classic fabric but they were rather uncomfortable. In fact, their universal size is too little for people with long and thin fingers. The fabric is sweaty and the seam was quite prominent and annoying for the finger tips. But...

    Gloves with closed thumb

    Thanks for the answers. Especially long and thin fingers make it hard to find gloves that fit with all three fingers closed. Am I right that there are no serious brands offering gloves with only the thumb closed?

    Gloves with closed thumb

    Hi everyone, I recently created an account because I need some advice about gloves. After years and years of denying gloves, I began to wear some by now. And as a predator quaker I started with their second skin gloves. I have quite large but thin hands and their S/M fits very well. I wouldn't...
