    Samsara Jump/Break questions

    For awhile now I have been considering buying a new jump break cue and have asked for input on here a couple times. I am being thorough since I will be buying sight unseen and have no way of prior testing where I live. I have narrowed it down to a Samsara or Lomax, both of which I hear are great...

    Better J/B cue - Samsara or Lomax

    I have written a couple of posts on here in regards to buying a new high quality jump break cue. My consensus is that people seem to really love either the Samsara or Lomax Jump/breaks. Is one constructed any different ie, better or worse than the other that would make a difference? Do you...

    What makes a good break or jump break cue?

    Recently I posted about a McDermott Sledgehammer and got several answers about how well they were built. I finally went to buy it but test hit it first. I liked the way the phenolic tipped cue hit but didn't like the lack of control. So, I tried the leather tipped version and it felt too...

    Older McDermott Sledgehammer Break/Jump questions

    A friend of mine has a pool cue business that he is winding down and selling most of his inventory. I am curious if a McDermott Sledgehammer jump/break cue would be worth it for 150.00. I play mainly nineball and am looking for a cue that will squat the cueball well. I don't really jump a lot...

    Jump break cues-what makes one better than another?

    Just realized I probably put this in the wrong forum even though I am looking to buy one too. I know this has been talked about a lot recently but I would really like to know what sets break or jump break cues apart from each other. I am not crazy about the phenolic or WD tips as I believe the...

    I know this has been talked about a lot recently but I would really like to know what sets break or jump break cues apart from each other. I am not crazy about the phenolic or WD tips as I believe the hit isn't as controlled. I like the Samsara cues but the price is quite high. There are a...

    Defensive strategies/safeties books

    Does anyone know where I could find a book on defensive strategies and safety play. I think that one was written recently and there was some talk on here about it awhile back. Primarily interested in those related to rotation games but 8 ball would work too. Also, if anyone has any advice, my...

    How to win when the rolls are against you

    After playing a recent tournament and doing fairly well, just out of the money, I started to analyze the day. I was in stroke and felt pretty confident of the way I played overall. My form and technique seemed to be going really well. I won 7-3, lost 7-3, won 5-4, lost 5-3 to players of...

    WTB: Joe Tucker's Racking Secrets Book

    Does anyone have a copy they are done with and would want to sell? It has been awhile since I have looked for this on here. The last time I tried, nobody seemed to have one for sale. I prefer the Book to the DVD, just for portability of use. PM if you want to sell one and how much you are...

    How to be good without solid fundamentals

    There is a guy that is a top rated player in our league and I was watching him the other day. Brings up some interesting points about what it really takes to get good. Now, I believe he will only be as good as he is now, where I plan to be even better in the near future. As I was watching...

    Break techniques

    I know there has been a lot posted on breaking lately but I am looking for some additional help. I play in an in-house 9ball league where you don't really know what kind of rack you will get and it would seem impersonable to ask for re-racks. We play on Valley barboxes, winner breaks. I have...
