Yes, Vantage has lower deflection than 314-3

I only tried Predator shafts but totally agree with how you classified the Vantage, Revo and 314-3.

Best podcast ever, John has such a talent telling his stories, informative but also funny. Congrats for having him invited!

My latest game versus Mr. Ghost - finally managed to beat him 7-0:

After trying out the best brands, I found Taom glove to be the best for me, followed by Kamui. I don’t like Predator because it leaves too much of my index finger uncovered, and for rail bridge the shaft touches my finger skin.

Here is my 7-2 win against the Ghost which I recorded earlier this week. My table is a 9ft Dynamic 3 competition table (Eurotours are played on this model), with very old (about 5 years old) Simonis 860 cloth, which makes it even tougher, as balls surely rattle if not hit correctly.

I have this JB Ultimate Rugged 4x8, but it doesn't fit my 32 inch cue butt (normal butt 29 inch + 3 inch extension). So I would not recommend it. I don't know why it is marketed as 32.5 inch interior length...I also wrote an email more than a week ago to JB asking for a custom case to fitt my 32...

Indeed. But note that shipping can reach 85usd for European countries, which basically almost doubles the price of the book...I don't know how USPS calculates these huge shipping rates...

Hello, I'm kinda interested in the Predator Arcos 2 ball set, my Aramith Tournament balls started chipping a bit and it would be nice to replace them after almost 10 years of usage. But I could not find any real review or opinions about the Arcos 2 set, and I don't want to throw 400usd on...

Is there any actual review of the balls? I mean they look great, I especially like the triangles on the cue ball, but damn I'm not sure if it's worth it to pay 400usd for them...I have Aramith Tournament balls and I think the Predaor Arcos 2 should hit the same way...maybe I will wait for buying...

It's so simple - eyes/sighting/alignment, but everything starts with how to consistently use your eyes for perfect bridge placement & body alignment. All the rest is bullshit. Of course not talking about beginners who just picked up a cue, but about players who can runout once in a while. The...

Earl will easily defeat him, should be 30-15 or so

Thanks for quick replies guys, much appreciated, keep them coming!

Hi guys! I can't seem to find much info regarding cue butt thickness. I really like thick cue butts, but couldn't find one for my taste so I put a LOT of tennis grip on my Predator butt. I like how it feels but it looks ugly. Excepting custom cues, can anyone help me with info about the thickest...

Focus on getting your eyes right all the way from standing position until down in shooting position, and if you do it properly and consistently then the stroke will be there for you as well ;-)

Listen to this guy ;-) I know how you feel, and I know you will probably still make the change, no matter what everybody here says...been there done that... Myself I regret it - I switched from 314-2 to 314-3, and I was very dissapointed. I feel the deflection is a bit higher in 314-3 as...

Wow I'm european but let me tell you I'm impressed with Skyler...plays with no pressure, great attitude, Shane left him quite some challenging shots but Sky never looked nervous, just got down and made every ball...great kid, handles pressure much better than Dechaine or Bergman.

The main issue caused by the non-dominant eye is, from my experience, that many times the non-dominant eye takes control in exactly one of the critical moments in your shooting routine - the moment when you fix your bridge hand. If the non-dominant eye dictates where your V in the bridge is...

Hi Colin, You're absolutely right regarding the importance of the V bridge placement. When I'm not in stroke, I carefully visualize the shot line from above, in order to be sure I place the V on that line. But tell you what - in fact I'm sure you are well aware of this :-) - if your visual...
