I appreciate the offer to have Mark work with me. I do have an instructor whom has been helping me to achieve a better level. It's my own fault for the lack of fundamentals in this as despite having paid for the lessons and taken the lessons I hadn't been putting in the work. That's not to say Mark isn't a great instructor, I'm just really happy with my own one. And after having put in the time since this video I am improving every time I get to the table.

It plays more like a soft tip than a medium, and I can't compare the hit of it with the hit of a kamui

@@PersistentWolfBilliards could you have pressed it harder to your maximum strength for it to play like a medium?

@@OznerolPool I would use a different single layer tip for a medium playing tip, such as a triangle or Le Pro

compressing a Milk dud, with the Elk Master Tips you can get a Medium Soft, Le Pro can get harder and the other one whose name is escaping me at the moment can also be used, each can only be compressed to slightly harder than their original softness, but all are able to be turned into Milk Duds

So before I was adopting more of a snooker horse style stance with the cue locked to my hip which I found absolutely bothersome and I was unable to change my stance to accommodate it. It was a learned stance from an instructor I don't work with anymore. I find that my current shot setup is much more fluid and easier to do consistently.

@@PersistentWolfBilliards I see the after effects of another instructor teaching the hand on hip and I am trying to learn the how and why of it. His students are struggling because of it I feel. The true reason of it may have been misunderstood by these coaches. Looks to me it would be used to get consistent distance to cue ball and nothing to do with alignment(eyes and foot do that)

@CueballcontrolSometimes yes, the snooker stance which is where the hand is close to the hip at start is better for beginners and youth in order to replicate the same position and alignment of the body . Believe it or not its actually really consistent with eye dominance being same as hand dominance. With cross eye dominant people it's not feasible.

Yes I make them still

Thank you, Earl showed me for sure why he is still one of the greatest players in the world

You can email me your address and I'll ship you one, when I make a new batch, my email is in the contact me section

No problem if you're looking for something more in depth, I am also and ACS and PBIA Instructor

Yes he was in the finals vs Quoc. The live video should appear in my videos.

A good shot routine is always going to be a part of a higher level game for sure+

You're quite correct I'm not a dairy farmer, nor would I say that I was. My milk duds have performed well for myself and people that have tried them out and that's enough for me.

You must squeeze a teat to get real milk. Product from a store is close to white water.

@@dougrichards3649 I also get my milk from the dairy farms nearby

@@PersistentWolfBilliards Bovine will not do.

You would have to reconstitute it first

@@PersistentWolfBilliards thanks man i'm already on my 18 hrs soaking and the tip already expanded

@demetrioreyes4450 no problem let me know ow how they turn out

@@PersistentWolfBilliards sure man! Later I will compress it. Excited to know how a milk dud feel!

It's always a fun turnout, sometimes we get some new guys, and a few surprise players that take it all

Yeah I love my PPB system, I actually have it now set up on my practice table at the club

Thank you man, was definitely fun to watch a drill in practice become a victory in play

That's the tldr answer for sure, there is a compound within the milk that acts like a glue which helps bind the fibers together

Thank you!!

So as far as I've been able to notice in my game it is very low deflection on par with my carbon fiber shafts. It's been very been very good as far as both hard and soft shots with spin. I haven't had to compensate for deflection at all.

Thanks! I enjoynshooting vs Cedric he always makes me think harder and grt better

Thank you, the person I was shooting against commented man that wagon wheel drill in action is something!

Thank you, its definitely beautiful and I love how it all comes together. Pechauer definitely outdoes themselves with every cue

Different people use different milks for their duds. I've heard a bunch of different ones, and for me the while milk I get from the local farm does well. Perhaps I'll try butter milk in the future!

I heard it's supposed to be a Le Pro tip and milk from a Russian White Dairy Goat that has given birth within 2 months and daily rewarded with pumpkins and carrots as a treat. And you need to tell the Goat old pool hustling stories every night for 10 days before harvesting the milk used to make milk duds. The milk must not be from the first 10 pulls (discarded) and you must not harvest more than 10 ounces.

I don't know what happened, I tried this with elk master tip, 24 hours in Milk, 24 hours pressed and 24 hours drying process and it came out when installed like it is about to crumble into pieces

@@CaptainOnePocket You are the closest to what Efren’s man would have used. Think Philippine animal husbandry.

Will watch today

I have a standard length of 32"

@PersistentWolfBilliards Standard is 29"

Correct I was taking a guess at the length, mine is in fact 29" just measured to double check.

@PersistentWolfBilliards I just received my Hsunami 2.0 also which is a 30" and I'm wondering the weight?

@@tmangan327 mine weighs 3.6 oz

Looks pretty nice for sure going to give it a test run tonight in a practice session

It's so shiny!! And so very smooth

It is absolutely gorgeous!

Thanks you so much Rush!!

I love shooting with mine, been using for a little over a year now. Have them on both my shooting shafts. Well one of them so far, waiting on my hsunami 2.0

I encourage you to try making them, my entire setup for doing so only ran me around 50$ including the tips. I have a video on my channel showing how to make them as well.

I'm sure you'll get there too man! This year is the year of greatness!

Thank you, I work hard to be able to not double hit when close with my follow through!

@@PersistentWolfBilliards that’s the real trouble for me. If I try n use any English when it’s straight on that close I’m bad for following through just a tad and I’ve been trying to learn based of the reaction of the balls if it’s a foul and obviously a honest player knows that felt it hit there stick again

Tried to get the cut as close to the boom while working in the audio, unfortunately it was about a .25s off

Thank you for the feedback, I started playing with them a little over a year ago on a suggestion from my tip guy, then decided to make my own and have been using since. Love the way they play

You are 100% correct sir my bad I had forgotten in my older years ..lol

Yes, I make my own milk duds using a combination of milk from a local farm and another ingredient.

Sorry I didn't realize how poorly the camera I was using picked up.

Yeah I didn't realize how much was obscured by Shane.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm still working on my break and in 8 ball I'm finding that it's been a real hit or miss situation with potting a ball on the break

I find in ten ball, when I smash them , I rarely make a ball. I find that when I break with a medium hit from between the first and second diamond on the head rail , I always make at least one ball.

It's a default setting from my streaming service lol, I just have to retitled afterwards

Exactly the follow through is probably the most important part

Thanks Gunner

They look great, I think both My teams might be placing orders

My favorite two cors, love the color schemes

Thanks Hector!

Thank you, love the fit

Yeah definite loving the pattern and colors

Taom 2.0 break jump tip in white

@@PersistentWolfBilliards ah, I have the white diamond and they look darn near the same but I guess that’s cause they are white lol. How are you liking it brother? Been interested in trying a new break jump tip. The white diamond I like it’s very easy to jump but miscues very easy

@@yremixplays4775 I like it, I only break with it as I don't have a jump cue. I have heard it is very easy to jump with from Lil' Chris

What does your stroke look like, are you hitting low or are you hitting just below center
