    30" Carbon Fibre shafts

    Well, a bit ashamed to admit it but probably going to switch to Low Deflection era in the near future and most likely going straight to CF shaft. But which makers offer them in 30" ?

    Mezz break shafts LD?

    I've never jumped the LD bandwagon but I have been breaking with a BK2 for a few years. I like the hit very much but I have trouble with 9ball cut break with English as I use backhand English exclusively. I have tried only a couple of Mezz break cues and started wondering if the different break...

    My 14.1 Finnish Championships match

    Here is a capture of my streamed Finnish Champs match. Loser qualification race to 75, winner of the match goes to L32 single elimination. Played quite well, not too many innings. Had difficulties with the new cloth and especially rails were killing me. That created a few weird end game...

    Practice your long shots

    Having trouble with long shots? Have you tried practicing playing 14.1 from the kitchen? It's meant for maybe B players and up all the way to the professional level. It's very simple yet very hard. You start off with setting a regular beside the rack break ball. Then you break shooting from the...

    New cloth and tapped table vs old cloth and bad rack?

    I've been playing 14.1 all my life on old cloths with bad and loose racks. I wonder how much I'm giving weight considering high runs to players who are constantly practising on a new cloth and a tapped table? Been watching a few videos here and I'm jealous how players get the whole rack wide...

    Run of 64 on Youtube.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKF0hllzu84 The first rack made a huge mistake of thinking the 1-ball was a great break ball, didn't bother measuring the angle. Still having problems with my new grip, not really comfortable with it yet and it shows a few times when I lose the CB. Also the...

    High run in a tournament

    Just a brief question: we had a small tournament with a high run -competition in the side. One player ran 34 and scratched. Does he count in as 33 or 34 for the high run -competition?

    Pool clubs in Singapore?

    Hi, haven't been too active here lately, ahem :o Well, I'm travelling to Singapore in late July and was wondering if there are any really nice pool clubs worth checking out? I'm going to be there for 4-5 days and looking to shoot maybe a couple of racks and check out the local pool scene. I'm...

    Ran 51 with video

    Here it is, another 720p video recorded with my Nokia N8 phone, partly on Vahmurka's request :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NbrM9og5ds My cueball was definitely not on a leash here even though I didn't play so many bad shots. Got into trouble a couple of times in the end of the rack but...

    Share your stroke shot videos here

    Made a nice stroke shot and want to share it? Now's your chance. Here's mine with a three ball out in 10-ball. Not the most usual position for the 9-ball which I leave myself a bit hooked. Should've played the 8-ball with more spin... :rolleyes: Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbA73AnvQeg...

    Why do I scratch on this break shot?

    Had my Nokia N8 today with me and managed to set it up in a way to record some of my shooting. Ran a 54 but while editing it, managed to delete it for some reason. I bet $100 on stupidity :) Anyway, on one of the break shots I managed to scratch and while I have a pretty good idea why it...

    New shaft for an old break cue?

    I have an over 15 year old Falcon JB cue and I thought about buying a new break cue with some benefits of a modern breaking technology but I still like my Falcon so much that I wonder if it would be possible to buy a hi-tech break shaft for my old Falcon? Any recommendations? The joint type is...

    Cuemakers and Acme pin?

    Anyone know cuemakers that make cues/shafts with Acme pin? I have a nice Scruggs with Acme pin and now it seems it might be difficult to order a new shaft straight from him I might consider other possibilities. Any advice?

    Billiards Digest writes about changes within the WPA

    Mike Panozzo has an interesting word or two to say about the changes within the WPA from the last few months. I think the situation within the WPA looks a bit grim after a few working individuals have left the association. Any input on this subject? Crucial moments for the WPA at hand now...
