    Did the cue market fall apart?

    From a players perspective who has never bought a collectors cue: Shaft technology has changed, and may continue to change going forward. They are expensive, both wood LD and Carbon Fiber, so a players investment in his shafts can be considerable if they like to try new shafts. Perhaps there...

    Advice for beginner cues?

    Buy an all carbon fiber Becue and never have to buy another cue for the rest of your life. Cost about 1K, a few hundred more than you are looking to spend, but in the long run you will save a lot of money. Now you can focus on finding the tip you prefer and then forget about cues and practice...

    Jump Stick

    I am not familiar with the Air Rush, never used one and know nothing about it. I had no idea what my Lomax weighed, although I have been using it for years now, saw this thread and weighed it just to add some info. I like my Lomax mainly because I am used to it, performs well for me, but I am...

    Premier League Pool (PLP) 6-13 March2023, Leicester- Earl makes his debut !

    Aging is not for the timid. Once the energy and confidence starts to wade, all you have left is your heart. I hope Earl gets out from everywhere in this invitational.

    What weight are you using for your playing cue on 9ft tables?

    58" 20.4 oz for me because it just feels right, for me. Different strokes for different folks. At the height of Earl's javelin cue days it was 74" and 29 oz, and he was playing like, well like Earl with that monstrous cue. Like others have said in this thread, it's far more about your stroke...

    Cue Tip Contact Myth-Busting Truths in Super Slow Motion

    I will add this - A harder stroke is required to move the rock the same distance with a soft tip than with a hard tip. I think everyone can agree on that. Therefore, The soft tip will create more spin, not because of contact time, but because you are hitting the rock with increased stroke...

    Cue Tip Contact Myth-Busting Truths in Super Slow Motion

    What creates more spin - A players confidence that he will not miscue while hitting the ball further off center axis with a firmer stroke. That's all I got from where I went to school.

    Sold McDermott Stinger with G-Core & Jump Handle

    I bought this Stinger new about 4 years ago. Used it as my breaker for about one year then replaced it with another breaker, since then it has lived in a case in my closet. I replaced the linen wrap with a black stacked leather wrap for better feel and grip. Wrap looks much better in person...

    Best hitting cue you ever played with.

    I like the way the shaft goes through the ball, rock solid and never any vibration. Doesn't matter how far off center axis you go it's rock solid, every hit feels the same as dead center. I am thrilled with the low deflection, if there ever was a point and shoot cue this is it. The front end...

    Best hitting cue you ever played with.

    Have not played every cue made, but I have played many. With out any doubt Becue is the best hitting and playing cue I have ever used and it's not even close.

    Is gambling required at the higher skill levels?

    I always feel like gambling when my opponet is considerably weaker than I am. If my opponet is equal to me in skill level, there is no way I am going to gamble. Does that make me a bad person?

    Tip discussion: All tips can be good, All tips can be bad.

    I will add one fact to this thread - Over time leather dries out and gets harder. When you buy a new tip how old is it actually? No way of knowing, could this be the difference maker in getting a 'magical' tip when the last one you got, same brand was hard and glazed over after minimal play?
