Thank you. I practice the three shots I showed on my first video. I use that as my benchmark the see how to line up for those shots. Once I play and the ball is in random spots, I can see what cut to use. It takes time like everything else but I feel it cuts a lot of time on trying to memorize every cut shot in pool. I only use 5 cut shots versus trying to shoot over a million different cuts. The way I see it, pool balls are 2 1/4 and the pocket in most pool tables are 4 1/2 wide on the corner and the middle is wider. Some pool tables you even hit the first diamond and the object ball still goes in. Hope this helps and thank you for commenting.

That would be interesting but with Kielwood, if done correctly when roasting the wood, the wood should not absorb any fluids. I think that is why manufacturers are not doing it. Kielwood doesn’t really have any pores unless like regular wood. I think trying to stain it the stain would look blotchy. Hope this helps and thank you for commenting.

Thank you. Wow, I remember that video. It’s almost 5 years ago. I just started messing around modifying cues around that time. Thank you for commenting and Happy New Year.

I use thin cyanoacrylate (super glue) to seal it and then use 10 coats of thick super glue. Hope this helps and thank you for commenting. Happy New Year.

@@playpool12fyao Thank you just purchased the bristles.

Please PM me on facebook. Thank you for commenting.

Yeah just say hi if you see me. A full carbon for breaking and jumping is nothing like using wood. It is almost cheating when using a carbon. They break super hard and they make jumping with no effort. Thank you for commenting.

Thank you I will need all the luck I can get and Happy New Year to you too.

Thank you and Happy New Year to you and your family too. I also hope to see you in Vegas.

I will safe one Black Storm for you. I plan to live stream all my matches. It might be easy to find me that way. Hope to see you in Vegas and Happy New Year.

Thank you and Happy New Year.

Thank you so much sir and Happy New Year 🎆🎊😉

@@Tedsterslab Thank You and Happy New Year.

My version of cte is very similar to fractional aiming. With my cte I only have 5 shots to memorize vs memorizing every fraction of cut shots in pool. I only use full ball, 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, and edge to edge. To me it mays the shooting easier. Hope this helps and thank you for commenting again.

I wasn’t shooting as well. My cue ball was all over the place.

@@playpool12fyao happens to the best of us=you are a gift to the ones who want to make their game better -glad i found you -your teaching makes things easier to grasp hold of

Unfortunately not. They are old timers that stick to their way. My shooting partner looks at the cue ball last and has a different aiming system. Thank you again for commenting.

I got rid of the manual pivot because I feel moving after setting for the shot is very unorthodox to me. I will adjust and align with I am standing up and try not to move when I am set on my shot. Hope this helps and thank you for commenting.

@@playpool12fyao thank you much

It will work perfectly. I use the Horo Black Storm for my break and jump cues. You can break really hard and have the confidence the tip will not crack. Also you can use a cut break because the tip holds chalk really well. Hope this helps and thank you for commenting.

@playpool12fyao thanks for reply ! But the issue is i use revo not rush shaft . Will it still do its job perfectly?

Yea, you don’t need a rush shaft for breaking. Before the rush came out, pool players where using the regular revo 12.4 and 12.9 with a break tip on it. The carbon fiber is super strong regular of for breaking. SVB breaks super hard with his Cynergy 12.5 and the shaft is holding up. I would just put a break tip on the Revo to save money on buying another break cue especially if the revo is available for breaking. Hope this helps

@@brucebanner-bi2id thank you.

Thank you and thank you for commenting again.

You can use the White Storm for breaking but the Black Storm is best for breaking. I also use the Black Storm for jumping. Hope this helps and thank you for commenting.

Please PM me on Facebook messenger. Thank you for commenting.

@@xSiiKEvoLuZioNz I think it would be possible because industrial plants have huge beds for CNC machines. One for the house, I would use a belt system because it would be cheaper and I I haven’t seen one ball screw long enough for public sale. Aluminum extrusion can be sliced together as well as a belt to drive the extrusion. Hope this helps and thank you for commenting.

cuemakersupply.com Hope this helps and thank you for commenting.

Yes. I don’t do the pivot anymore. I just come straight into the shot to make it more consistent. Hope this helps and thank you for commenting.

@@playpool12fyaothanks. Do you use the bridge hand offset?

@@playpool12fyaoone more question- how do you compensate for English when using CTE.

I don’t know that system. I need to look it up. Thank you for commenting.

For jumping personally , the G10. For putting some English on the cue ball, Taom. If I had to choose one of those two, I would choose the G10. Jumping with spin doesn’t happen as much especially my local pool I play in as only 7ft tables. I rather have 100 percent confidence I am jumping over the ball and trying to make the shot and not give ball in hand vs seeing if I can jump with some spin or jump draw and the cue ball did not clear the object ball giving my opponent ball in hand. Hope this helps and thank you for commenting.

@playpool12fyao thanks for the detailed answer. 😊🙏

just bought off of Aliexpress. 3pcs for $23AUD

A 3 piece jump cue, that is a great deal. A great tip will make a difference.

@@playpool12fyao no no ..3pcs of G10 tips is what i mean.hehe

The exact material, that I don’t know. From working with it, the material is like a really hard polymer. It is not like a G10 but very close on hardness. The biggest advantage, it holds chalk really well. Hope this helps and thank you for commenting.

Thank you, I totally agree but for some reason some just can’t understand it lol. It helps me align my body to the shot better. Thank you for commenting.

I got my at Hobby Lobby. It’s cheaper to get a longer piece and cut them to size. Hope this helps and thank you for commenting.

Thank you. I shoot with a heavy curly maple Kielwood shaft now and I have shot with a regular maple Kielwood before and I can’t tell a difference between the two. I made both of them on my cnc and I made sure the specs are the same so I don’t have to adjust. I can tell you one thing, the curly mulch kielwood is a showstopper, I get questions about it, but for playability the shaft is the same as a regular maple Kielwood. Hope this helps and thank you for commenting.

ㅋ 제 발도 보셨어요? ㅎ 언니 우리 게임하는거 다 보셨어요? 내가 이겼어요. ㅎ 완전 신난 날 ㅎㅎ

I think only 3 to include you. Not many lol. I am actually going back next year. I know I said I’m not going but I had fun and I enjoyed playing other players not from league. Thank you for commenting and hope to see you next year in Vegas.

For most kick shots, one must aim through the diamonds not where the diamond is on the rail. Hope this helps and thank you for commenting again.

As long as the cue ball is rolling forward not sliding. Hope this helps and thank you for commenting.

The lathe has to have a compound slide. The compound slide has to be angled to the same angle of the shaft. It is possible to taper a ferrule but I think it too much work unless the ferrule is installed over side to a un finished tapered shaft and they both get their final taper on a cnc machine or a lathe with a taper bar. Most ferrule are cut straight not tapered. The one that might be tapered are from shaft that are sanded down to a new tip diameter. Also a ferrule can have a taper from a tip installer not know what they are doing. The tip installer will sand the new tip to the ferrule not knowing they are sanding too much than sanding the front part of the ferrule putting a taper on the ferrule. I am 99% confident from old school wood shaft with a one inch ferrule or even less and the new carbon fiber shaft with a 1/2 inch or less have a straight ferrule made by a big production company to your custom cue builders, the ferrule do not follow the taper of the shaft. Hope this helps and thank you for commenting.

Thank you and thank you for commenting.

@@playpool12fyao you’re more than welcome 👍🙏

@@RodgerMyers I never heard anyone using epoxy for installing a tip. I heard of contact cement. Does the shaft have a valve plate, a thin material. I would make sure that vault plate is really clean. Also I would use some thin superglue on the tip make sure the tip wicks the super glue then use a thick gel type of super glue. Hope this helps and thank you for commenting.

I use the same 5 minute epoxy for pin, inserts and joint collar. It hasn’t failed me yet. Hope this helps and thank you for commenting.

It’s the Pro version with the large bore head. Thank you for commenting.

@@Santamaria15 brand to me doesn’t really matter as much as long it was a hard tip. I use to play with a $3 hard tip and it plays as good as any other name brand tip. The way I see it, how much can one do to leather and glue to make a tip. To me hard tips play better because they don’t mushroom as much and they are less maintenance. I haven’t played with a Predator medium tip because I would never buy a medium tip and I haven’t tried the titan hard so it would be hard to compare they to a Horo hard tip. As for the Horo hard tip, I like it better than the other Horo tips. I can be biased because I prefer hard tip but remember I use to play with a $3 hard tip and it played like all other hard tips. Hope this helps and thank you for commenting.

Thay might of changed their packaging due to cost.

The link is in the description to contact the seller. Thank you for commenting.

I found no real way to avoid having the white marks. I changed the tip to a G10 at first then I got a Horo Black Storm. The Black Storm is as hard as a G10 but it can grip the cue ball better. Hope this helps and thank you for commenting.

@@whitigir it’s a Mid American Cue Lathe. Thank you for commenting.

Thank you and thank you for commenting.

Sorry I didn’t. Thank you for commenting.

Personally I like the Horo Beast. It’s the hard tip but I also play with the Medium. They both play well and thank you for commenting.

@@playpool12fyao thanks for getting back to me, harder tips are better as long as they are grippy, makes table length draw very easy plus I find medium and hard tips to be more accurate on long straight shots over S. I'll try and get hold of odyssey and beast, all the best

That is very true. The harder the tip, I think it deflect less because it doesn’t deformed like a soft tip. Soft tip to me is high maintenance. They require trimming do to it keep mushrooming. Try getting the Horo Beast you might like it and thank you for commenting again.

@@playpool12fyao yes constant trimming initially is annoying and it does deflect more i agree, thank you bro
