    Are Moori & Kamui tips really worth the money or is it all hype?

    Kamui Black Super Soft I used to play with a moori medium and loved it. When it finally wore out the guy at the pro shop said I should check out the Kamui. I bought and Kamui Black Super Soft and absolutely love it. I will never use anything else. I really have noticed a big difference in...

    Palmer custom with rounded points?

    It has a 5/16 14 pin and 5 points. Sorry I don't actually have pictures I decided not to buy it after confirming it wasn't a custom. He wanted $500 for it which would be a hell of a price if it were a custom, but unfortunately it is not. Thanks again to all who posted and saved me from...

    Palmer custom with rounded points?

    A friend of mine wants to sell me a Palmer Cue and he says it is a custom. My only concern is it has rounded points. Is it possible that it's still a custom if it has the rounded points? Any idea what it might be worth? I know it's hard without pictures, I'll try to upload them when I get...

    What shoes do you wear to play pool in?

    I have flat feet like many others who have posted. The absolute best shoes I have found for running, walking, playing pool or just about anything are Brooks Beast. They are expensive and heavy but they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. But oddly enough I play the best in Good...

    What are they doing when they lick

    I do that occasionally to clean the chalk off of my ferrule. I don't like when my cue gets dirty so I clean it often. I don't rub it on the rails I just use a towel I keep in my cue case.

    videos with my sponsor, Kamui Tips

    I switched from a moori medium to a Kamui black soft and loved it. My brother got a super soft and I liked his even more. So now I have a super soft on all my shafts and couldn't be happier. Those who have said you can get spin on the ball something is wrong. I have never been able to draw...

    What is missing in Cuemaking

    Traditional I too am a fan of traditional cues. My cue is as plain as they come in the looks department. It is a Jacoby and is just a solid piece of cocobola with an Irish linen wrap. A few silver rings at the joints is as vancy as it needs to be. Also all that "art" adds a lot of time to...

    Case prices

    I don't mind spending 300 - 500 for a good case. The way I look at it is, I have spent almost 1500 for the cues I'm carrying, i want to make sure they are protected. It seems silly to me to spend good money for a cue and put it in a soft case or a poor quality hard case where the cues rattle...

    So... Do you think some cues have too much inlay?

    Plain Jane I have a plain jane Jacoby. It's just cocobolo with a black linen wrap. When I was looking for a new cue this one caught my eye more than any other. I don't know why but I just love the look of the wood. I didn't want it broken up with inlays.

    Pool game for Android phones

    That's awesome. Thanks for posting. I just switched to an Android phone yesterday and was just about to ask if anyone knew of any good pool games.

    Same shot different place

    I have this issue sometimes. For example a 45 degree cut into the corner pocket is very rarely a problem. Unless it is a back cut, and then for some reason my mind gets in the way and I can't make it. For me it's a mental thing. Phil Capelle touches on this issue in his book "Play your best...

    What cue material don't you like????

    I like simple cues. Cocobola or birds eye maple wood, stainless steel joints and a linen wrap. Anything more than that is too much for me. I can appreciate the craftsmenship and the detail of the "fancier" cues, but they're just not for me.

    How much is table time in your area?

    The pool hall here in Bel Air MD is 3.50 per person per hour before 6pm and 4.50 per person per hour after 6pm. But if you play on an APA team out of their you play for free. Except Friday and Saturday between 8 and 11pm which is understandable.

    How to stop choking?

    I know most people on here bash the APA, but playing in it this season has helped with this exact situation. Making the 9 in the APA is worth 2 points and that's it. If you make it you may win that rack but still lose the match, and if you miss, you may lose that rack but could still win the...

    The Joy of Pool

    As I've said before I am playing in a league for the first time this session. The first 2 weeks I was so nervous for some reason my hands were shaking. I missed shots I don't normally miss and lost to players I would normally beat. So to answer the question the joy for me now is getting...

    My Most Impressive Foul Ever...All Time...

    There is a guy in our pool hall that jumps the ball off the table almost every time he breaks, but nothing like what you have described here. Although there was another guy trying to shoot a jump shot and hit it way to hard (not a very good jumper) and it landed on the next table and pocketed...
