    Dress code in tournaments

    There should definitely be a dress code in all big tournaments. It looks so bad to watch these guys in shorts, t-shirts and flip-flops. Also those silly Hawaiian t-shirt looking things they wear have to go. That's just the very minimum class and respect participants should show the sport or no...

    SVB shouldn’t be allowed to turn hearing aids off?

    Didn't sound to me that Gorst was kidding. He sounded serious. Rogan even asked him if he was serious and Gorst said "yes and started talking about how Shane always goes to his phone to turn off his aids". What more do people need for him to make it clear he doesn't like it? Personally I...

    9-Ball Pushout - Foul

    If you don't push using the tip of the cueball. That's a foul. Played a guy who used to just tap the cueball with the ferrule of his cue and thought it was ok.

    Pinky on or off during stroke.

    I always hold the cue with all fingers but with medium speed and faster shots at the very back of the stroke middle, ring and little fingers all come out a little and are mostly off the cue. So the cue is being held by the web of the hand, just thumb and index are holding it. Going forward they...

    Thoughts on the G2 cue tips

    I've never had my G2's mushroom, and I often break with my play cue, (Revo 12.4). Just put them on and have fun. Almost no maintenance other than the occasional scuffing.

    Thoughts on the G2 cue tips

    My favorite. Have been using G2 Medium since they first came out. Intermittently try others but always come back to the G2. Never had any problem with mushrooming and they last a long time.

    Anyone clean their tips on the carpet before putting it back in the case?

    I do every… time I’m done playing. Break, jump and play cues all get wiped in the carpet. Stood next to the owners talking to them while doing it too. They’re fine with it. The cleaning crew comes at 2 am.

    Why are Predator cue extensions so damned expensive?

    That's where most of the Predator stuff is made.

    At this level the lag is so important

    Glove

    This is a good answer. Someone asks for advice on buying a glove and all these people come here just to say they don't use one. For me all the gloves I've used only last about 4-6 months until I started using the Longoni Sultan glove. It's lasted for at least two or three years at this point...

    How did this become OK ?

    I don't like it either. Modesty is more respectful than this crazy display.

    Predators new closed finger gloves…

    I also collect watches. I don't like wearing a watch when I play. Gets in the way of the glove, or glove in the way of the watch, and I either have to keep the watch under the glove or above which is awkward. As to the band, about 90% of my watches, just a guess, are metal bracelets. I can't...

    Revo carbon fiber shaft new tip Kumui clear installed and there is an intermittent click noise…….

    I've had these happen several times and in all of my cases it's always been an air pocket.

    Wood Shaft v CF

    Baseball bats are more likely to loser their integrity because they're hitting a ball at 100 miles an hour going cross grain and that's the key. In pool we're not hitting cross grain we're hitting right into the grain of the wood. So wood shafts will last for decades without problems if you...

    Why do pros rarely use the dart stroke for jump shots?

    I'm 6' 4" which is probably short by your standards but I use the dart stroke only. Reason is that both my shoulder are totally gone and I can't lift my arms near shoulder height. I'll leave the reasons alone. I also have a buddy I play against about two to three times a week and he is about...

    Why different shaft diameters for different games?

    LOL....love it!

    Why different shaft diameters for different games?

    I agree with this, except of course it's "affect"... But anyway, I have all three Predator Revo diameters. Got the 12.9 within a month of it being out, actually had to buy a cue with it on from Seyberts to get the shaft because they were all sold out. Then went from that to the 11.8 and...

    Simonis alternative

    I would just get Andy. Don't know how it works with home installing but I will never ever get a cloth where the manufacturer's name is under the end-rails. No way no how.
