Dennis Orcullo

Dennis must have a very good reason why he switch from tiger cue to predator.Maybe that week he felt good playing with his predator cue and won the tourny.Or maybe something happened to his Tiger cue and he had to play with predator cue then didn't want to keep switching cues in the middle of the tourny..I remember Efren Reyes when he wasn't feeling good with his playing cue and then decided to play with his breaking cue.He ended up winning that match..maybe that what happenend to Dennis as well..
 
Dennis does play with a Tiger cue! But he may switch off from time to time between cues. Many players do that.

Especially pinoys since they are very superstitious, efren has said before he will get rid of a cue if he feels it is "unlucky"

Saw Fu Che-Wei switching between his SW and his sponsored cue this weekend. On a difficult or finesse shot, he would use his SW. On a normal shot (majority of shots) he would use another cue, which looks like a production cue. I assume he's been sponsored, hence cue switching.

Fu Che-Wei is probably using "Universal". No idea which you are talking about have a feeling that it is very likely to be one.

As for Dennis, in the last tournament in Malaysia, he was using the tiger cue.
 
Even when Dennis beat Shane he missed alot of balls that looked pretty routine for him.I think he might feel more comfort with a Predator since he played along time with one.
 
Just want to say that this is all speculation. Would be a shame if he really was using his cue and then gets in trouble with Tiger for people saying he was using his pred. I mean was anyone there to confirm? Cause telling what cue he was using from a small/grainy stream isn't really compelling.

When they played the 8 ball matches on tar, Dennis didn't miss 1 ball the entire 8 ball match, and also won the 1 pckt and won the 10 ball, only reason he didn't win the 8 ball is because of his break. I'd say he's pretty comfortable with the tiger cue

I don't think its speculation if you can clearly see he's using a Predator in the pictures.The worst they could do is drop
him as a sponser which I'm sure would hurt Tiger more than Dennis.I wouldn't think Tiger would make an issue over this so soon after signing
him.

Don't get me wrong,if Dennis chalked the end of a breadstick he could runout.The reason why I mentioned the tar match with Shane is that you could see him changing his shaft several times throughout there match so he didn't look
totally comfortable,even though he pulled out the victory anyways.
 
Dennis has said that he will be playing in the White Diamonds BIG CALCUTTA tournament in November and it will be livestreamed by poolactiontv.com so you can see which cue/shaft he plays with there.
 
He uses the Tiger Ultra X LD shaft.
And it comes with or without the catlike logo on it. I saw where someone said Tiger shafts didnt come with that logo, thats incorrect.

Dennis played with the cocobolo tiger cue until the new line came out, now he uses one of the new model cues, with the same Ultra X LD Shaft.
 
I don't know where the statement came from that his Southwest warped? I just came back from the Derby and Omega has the Southwest that Dennis used. He sold it to them after he got his sponser.

According to the VL commentator (Chan), Fu switches over to the SW on extreme draw shots. They seem to believe that there are cues that draw better. I personally think it's bs, and I saw Fu miss position on a couple of shots where he switched cues.

It's in the article CreeDo listed...

" He isn't missing because he has lost his touch but rather for a reason that is nearly as unsettling: He needs a new cue stick. His favorite -- a $2,500 SouthWest weighing 19.5 ounces, which he used to win last year's player of the year award from the World Pool-Billiard Association -- warped in Manila's moist climate, and Orcollo sold it recently at a tournament in Kentucky. Now he is searching for one he can "believe in." The cue stick is the pool player's single article of equipment, the material link between him and the cue ball on the table. In a tight money game, in the final rounds of a tournament, when simple shots become difficult and the pool hall's heightened tension can feel as stifling as humidity, belief in the cue stick calms a nervous heart. "If you don't have a good cue," Orcollo says in his accented English, "you can make a mistake." It doesn't often happen that a top player abruptly loses a cue stick that has been kind to him. These searches last as long as it takes, making for a distressing period of uncertainty that has reduced great players to the crowded grouping of the simply good. "
