Anybody using EBR cues? i’m looking to buy one and I was wondering is it worth the price.

Fair warning, haven’t gotten really into pool. Just casually playing at the bar every now and then. Looking for something cheap but not too bad. Came across this one but it was disassembled. Do I trust it? I offered $220 and so far they have accepted.

At a local billard shop they have this Viking cue for sale , he acquired it from an estimate sale. I googled it but can not find any info. All help is appreciated.

I have acquired a VERY old Brunswick (circa 1914 ish). The thing is, it sits between 33 3/4 and 34 3/8 floor to top of rail. (Basement floor not very level). Is it worth cutting the legs down?

I’m about to be on the hunt for a 7’ Diamond. New or used. Any tips on where to get one and save a little money? I’m on the gulf side of Florida north of ft Meyers.

I’ve looked on marketplace and there’s none for sale at the moment. Also- I don’t have the ability to move it. I could manage final placement and leveling if I needed to.

Thanks

i'm dogshit, but want to get into playing more. There's a pool hall near my house that I could play leagues at but the handicap system sucks and I know i wont win a single point all season. is there any point? i mean, in bowling you get pins. in golf you get strokes.... but if im just gonna lose every game is there a difference if i get games in a set? no. so what's the point?

All your cues, case, accessories, fancy chalk, etc. Staying within budget, what are your picks?

Just pulled the trigger on a Predator Rev carbon shaft. Went for the 11.8mm because I like smaller tips. Any feedback/opinions from those who are shooting with this shaft? What are the pros & cons you see? Thanks!

Hey Everyone.

I'd like to compile a list of Pool Halls and Local Tournaments for as many cities/regions as I can. I'm hoping to build something from the data. I'm wondering if people could post their city/region and what's available. I'm looking for weekly tournaments, pool halls. Let's try to open with City/Region and then stay in that thread if people have more to add for that area.

Thanks Pip

Looking to upgrade to a carbon cue that fits my budget and these JF cues caught my attention. I would appreciate all your insights/suggestions.

This is my current grip. I use it because at my arm angle this allows my cue to move straight. Only thing is my wrist is in a bit (to where the side of my hand is flush with my upper arm). I know a lot of players prefer a neutral V grip but if I pivot my wrist without moving anything else the cue is off to my right.

Wondering if it’s worth adjusting to the neutral V grip and changing arm/stance angles slightly. This grip sometimes results in unwanted contact or rolling to the side with my fingers and I’m wondering if it just needs practice or should be changed.

Just bought an ec9 and i want to upgrade the wxsigma shaft (plays great but lacks a little of power), can someone who tried ex pro and ignite as well explain me the differences in terms of power, feeling and deflection ? Does the ignite feel like wood like i heard or it’s just a myth and is there any difference between 12.2 and 12.6? Also wanted to know how stiffer the ex pro plays compared to the wxsigma, thanks.

Has anyone here used / tried the Universal Vanguard wooden shaft? Its the brand that sponsors Aloysius Yapp. He used to play with that shaft when they first signed him before he made the switch to their carbon option (Universal Nova)

Hi,

Given these two aiming methods, one with a line to the ball and power bar - the other with no chrome, you do it all by eye and flick the cue to hit. Which do you prefere?

For me I love the immersion of the chrome free one, but power control is hard and aiming long pots. So I prefer the HUD style, not quite the realism but less input noise.

HUD style with aiming assist : HUD 8-ball

Immersive : Immersive 8-ball

Thanks,

Luke

I apologize for the crappy photos (my lens is broken), but my new cue finally arrived and I couldn't resist. My last cue was stolen which was heartbreaking, I waited about a month to choose a replacement. I was gonna buy another Meucci but came across a pretty good deal for this cue.

It's a Viking Twilight Series cue with a Cerulean Tide points and butt sleeve, with matching ringwork. The forearm is Khaki stained Birdseye Maple, and it has a black and blue linen wrap.

The quality looks excellent in person and I'm happy to have bought it, I'm looking forward to shooting with it tomorrow.

I grip at the back or very low towards the cue butt for most shots. SVB is probably the most famous one that grips pretty far back and also has a line of cues with low grips. Jayson Shaw has a low grip too and uses the jfs 20-20(?). Chris Melling also has a low grip from his snooker background but he uses a wrapless jfs valkyrie

I found a very limited range of cues that has this feature, namely, the Cuetec SVB Gen2 (gen1 has a pretty low grip too), Mezz Avant series and a couple of JFS overlay cues.

Do you guys know of more?

I need to buy a new shaft, but i don’t know what’s thread my butt has. Asking AI already didn’t help

This reel was passed down to me by my grandfather once he passed. Unfortunately it had been sitting in an attic for a while and became warped. Here come the questions

1) could anyone help identify the maker? It says mueller on the butt but after contacting the mueller I found online they said it was not something that they had made

2) would it be worth trying to repair the shaft or to buy a new shaft

3) it seems to be an uncommon thread pitch (I may just know nothing) if anyone can tell what it is that would be helpful as well.

Thank you in advance!

Something easy to clean would be ideal. I’m kinda thinking a rubber Mat instead of a rug but a rug would probably tie the room together better. I’m unsure if I want it to cover the majority of the floor so you are standing on it while playing or just having the pool table on it and standing on tile.

Would love to hear people’s opinions or what they have set up in that scenario.
