You really can't. I hit with a new one a few days ago just to test it out and it played fantastic.

Messaged you.

At 7 months into the game I wouldn't worry abut whether it is carbon fiber or wood, nor would I advise you to take some particular stance just. YES, a good player can play with anything. They'll play better with cues they are comfortable and confident with. Also, good players aren't rigid...they...

No, I joined at random.

Wow, I've been a member here for 20 years and a few days. Will I get a pension, like I do from the Air Force? I've really enjoyed it. (Feeling old)

I like the Predator Tip that came on it.

Good advice. When I was a kid and wanted to start getting better I copied, Johnny, Nick, Buddy, and Sigel. I didn't know "why" they did what they did -- but as I progressed I figured it out. Simply put, everyone can't be a pro. There are limits to talent and ability and drive. That's a hard fact...

Yes, I've seen that one a million times. And guess what, popular FACEBOOK videos with lots of views make money! Burning DVDS is now akin to you saying I'm going to put this match on laser disc. I gave away all of my DVDs...everything is on some form of streaming now.

It's a tin foil background. o_O

Pick a cue, any cue, and stick with it. You might find one odd at first....give it a year....it'll be like a third arm. You just have to put in the time, regardless of the cue but switching all of the time is no good. I have several custom cues, but my player is my 90s Schon with a 314 shaft. If...

Kim was playing with an ITS GEORGE cue and Jimmy was playing with a Schick.

A lot of the new players can't fathom using a house cue to play "good" pool. Heck, when I was coming up half the players who played good and gambled good used nothing but house cues. It was almost a sense of pride. And they'd bet big, and run out! At one pool room in Nashville you'd find three...

You don't need lines. It's not that hard to ascertain if a rack is proper, or if a cue ball is on, above, or behind the line. I've played for 77 years without lines.

If you play with a 12.75 314-3 it is actually LESS critical of stroke fundamentals than a standard maple shaft of the same size (speaking from years and years of experience). If you start getting into 11mm shafts in LD or Maple, you should have excellent cue tip delivery.

Every player is different. Every shot requires something different. You have to play a ton and learn what works for you. What approach gets the results you want. There is no magic bullet that can be given in a written answer. You just have to play a ton of pool and actually focus on what is working.

Danny, is that an old McDermott D Model you were playing with? Is that the original shaft? Great performance!

I've heard he and his wife were very careful with their money, investing it wisely and he still seems to be actively playing and making money in the US and abroad - and now at home it seems. I think in his country he is very wealthy....with still a team of managers keeping him in money making...

In his prime on tour, his 9 ball break was nothing great....but he ran out nearly every time he had an opening, or played beautiful safeties and kicks. That is why he always finished so high, or won so many big tournaments. He shined under the spotlight. And when his 9 ball break was working, it...

My favorite era of Schon cue production is the early EC era. I truly believe that the 90s era of Schon cues was the best, far surpassing the Runde era (which many would say is blasphemy....but that is my opinion). I think the overall quality, taper, and playability was at its peak during that...
