    Can someone explain the price gouging business model?

    That is business. You’re an adult. YOU DONT HAVE TO BUY IT!!! You don’t need it. It’s not food that you have to buy no matter the price. It’s a pool cue. If the price isn’t what you think is fair don’t buy it. If I think it’s a fair price and I buy it it’s none of your business

    Can someone explain the price gouging business model?

    I have no problem with predator making different colors for people who like different stuff but it blows my mind someone will pay that just to have a pink rush instead of a black one for like $850 less lol but to each his own

    Can someone explain the price gouging business model?

    Dude that’s all business. Lol every thing you buy is bought cheaper then they sell it to you. A cue flipper is a middle man no different than Walmart. Lol the only question is are you willing to pay it? As I said I have no clue why someone would spend more then twice as much to buy a rush Simply...

    Do you think that playing 14.1 / Straight Pool can help a players game out at all? At least with Consistency?

    I’ve heard he starts every practice that way. i know Jason Shaw says he looks at the cue ball last and holds the record for high straight pool run. Lol that doesn’t work for me. I definitely think it will help your concentration levels. I wasn’t as impressed by Jason Shaw record breaking...

    Can someone explain the price gouging business model?

    If you’re talking about predator it’s the secondary market. Predator charges the same price as they do any color. If people are paying it then the price is right. Would I pay 3k for a bk rush because it’s red..ughhhh hell no. But if someone else wants to it’s there money lol

    Chalk brands

    This is the same silly old man post I see when they used to complain about carbon fiber shafts. I haven’t read a single person say they thought any of this chalk was going to make them better 99% of the conversation is keeping your equipment cleaner and maybe resulting in some less miscues...

    Chalk brands

    I don’t like taom so I went back to kamui Roku but was missing the softness of the original kamui so I got the 1.21 instead of the .98 and while it’s still a little messy it’s not to bad. I clean my table once a week it’s not bad and I don’t big blue marks on the cue ball 🤷‍♂️ i do only chalk...

    Why so much hate for McDermott cues?

    Nothing wrong with a McDermott. It was my playing cue 30 years ago when I first started playing and everyone wanted a meucci. I would say there designs maybe dated and they just aren’t popular anymore. It seems like everyone is playing predator or cuetec these days but there is nothing wrong...

    Do You Think Professional Pool Players Should Be Paid In Crypto Or Cash?

    We’ve either officially ran out of things to talk about or someone took a bet on who could ask the dumbest question… not sure which.

    Would love to buy a diamond pool ball cleaner

    I just went through and cleaned all the sets I had that I use a bucket cleaner on before and the centenials came out amazing and I bet they are at least 20 years old and out of all my sets have been used the most.

    US Open and Mosconi coming to ESPN

    I don’t know if you’re kidding or not but I would love for someone like him to get involved. Like him or not do you know how many viewers who are new or don’t much about the game would get their on our biggest event? I think it would be a huge push for the game.

    Would love to buy a diamond pool ball cleaner

    I don’t notice that the ball is not completely clean. My cue ball gets quite a few blue marks on it because I use kamui and when it comes out they are all off of it. I used 1 drop of aramith cleaner on each ball.
