A lot of people swear by the J&J jump/break as it being a best bang for your buck jump/break. For around $125, you can also look getting these used: - Poison J/B - Player's Pure X J/B - McDermott Stinger J/B

I'd like to know a little more about the Stinger. How much was it used? How does the shaft and butt roll?

I agree with what nostroke said, if you're a novice player and you're playing someone who is years ahead of you - you probably won't play better. Though, if you have been playing for a while and you're maybe an intermediate or advanced novice and you play someone stronger, your game tightens up...

Hey guys, I was watching one of the TAR podcasts (I forget which one) and Darren Appleton mentioned something about replacing his Predator shaft periodically. I was wondering what is the reasoning behind wanting to replace a LD shaft periodically, do they have some sort of lifespan on them and...

Thank you for your inputs. I agree it would probably be best to hold onto it and see if I can find someone to give it away to. Hopefully, they won't mind that it has got a roll haha. Selling it as is will probably not get me much money anyway. I think if I have a little extra money on the side...

I have an old Dufferin sneaky pete (the ones with the pin in the shaft) in my cue case which I use as a breaker but it is such a hassle to get out of the case because it's like a damn club. Since I don't use it as much I've been thinking of getting rid of it and possibly buying a dedicated...

Pre shot routine definitely helps. I've recently rediscovered it and I've been playing better. The PSR will make sure everytime you get down to shoot, you're putting yourself in the same position when you start to make balls. I feel that this ensures that your aim won't be off. Where I play...

Yeah, the ones you might buy in a big chain department store. They just don't feel good when you hit the cueball with them. Ughh...

We have only one 8 foot pool table in my school's gameroom, which doesn't take quarters, so it can be quite busy sometimes. Generally, it's one vs. one and the loser would get off the table. Today, there was a fairly decent player and kept kicking players off the table. The regular rail birds...

Probably those two. I've watched some snooker instructional videos and they always refer back to fractional ball aiming and ghost ball. There's also line of aim which I've seen.

A $50 Action cue with blood splatter graphics...I didn't like how it looked so I sold it to the next guy I could find.

That's what I was going to say haha. Two different words for the same thing. Just depends on which side you are on.

That's rough, man. Probably after those experiences and THAT experience in particular I would not return to that place. Not worth getting hurt over some frivolous things like that. As for 8 ball rules, I always ask these few questions: - Table open after break? - No luck shots? - What about...

I have the (old?) one with the green veneers, leather wrap, and stainless steel joint paired with a Z shaft. I like the stiff hit of it, though I'm thinking of looking into an OB Classic Pro because I enjoy the hit of solid maple. I didn't want to go full sneaky yet I didn't want it to look too...

What are our heights? I never really paid attention to the length of my cue, but I was watching Jimmy Reid's "No Time for Negative" and he explains the ideal weight and length of a cue for a person. Here's the actual snapshot from the video: I don't know how tall Earl is but I'm sure he...

I also recommend Pandora radio. If you don't know what Pandora is, it's an internet music service that finds music for you with similar styles. Say if you typed in "Little Wing" by Stevie Ray Vaughn, they would play music that has that similar bluesy guitar. You said you like classic rock and on...

Classic American Car Inspired Women Heels Speaking of shoes, Prada is releasing heels that are inspired by classic American cars for their 2012 line. http://hungeree.com/?p=8516

He's Earl if he does this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=KrDdKxlz4R4#t=173s How appropriate is it that Earl is also playing Bustamante in this video!

I just remembered another tip I've read: people work in jobs that require standing in long periods of time recommend compression socks, which increase circulation to the legs. Those socks can go for $10-$15 a pair.

Go to the shoe store and ask the sales associate for shoes with good arch support and for standing all day. If you're hardcore, get those nurse/chef clogs Dansko (they look like this lol: http://www.zappos.com/dansko-professional-black-cabrio-leather). Dansko does make some shoes which are...
