Hi venom i play snooket alot long shots pretty easy short shots no to good im pretty aggressive what tip would you recommend thanks ps got a really hard tip on at the moment
Do you have a problem with the soft tip flattening out on you ? Do you find yourself having to reshape it or do more maintenance than you would with other tips ? If so, how or what process you use to fix it
I don’t believe it does. Chalk produces more grip. The More time that a tip grips on a ball the more deflection is produces. Dr Dave covers this. The amount of change in deflection is so small it’s not worth worrying about.
He says those nonsense because Kamui sponsors him. Deflection has nothing to do with either the tip hardness or the type of chalk. The miscue and spin part he mentioned are proven wrong too. Comparing to Dr. Dave, I would rather believe Dr. Dave, simply because Dr. Dave's theories are based on science and experiments.
@@supermingsu I thought deflection was just the cueball squirting to the side when applying sidespin (English)....if that's the case then of course the tip and the chalk will affect that.
@@nakkadu i think florian means the deflection is less because the spin and swerve of the ball back in line can be considered as deflecting less ofc this effect depends on speed of shot, amount of spin and length white travels before contact, as kamui chalk produces more grip and spin the ball is more inclined to swerve back in line ..ie less deflection
Watching your videos has me wanting to get back into playing pool. Can you recommend a good table that won't break the bank that is professionally delivered and set up? Brand, company to buy from? Size isn't really an issue as I have a bonus room above my garage that's roughly 18 ft by 36 ft. Thanks.
@@VenomTrickshotsOfficial Agreed! I got a Brunswick Gold Crown III for $200, a lot of people just want them gone and someone to move it which I did do. I put Simonis cloth on it, and I prefer it to a Diamond table.
You will get more spin, but you have to be much more accurate and precise on the shots. Let's just say it's much more finicky. For example, I play around sometimes and shoot a bunch of regular shots with my jump cue which has a very hard tip that is 14mm. I swear I reduce my misses by 50%. I tried a smaller shaft and it was really tough to run several balls, but when I got dialed in I was doing things I normally couldn't. But it would take me at least 30 minutes each day to get dialed in. A friend was interested in buying it, so I sold it to him.
I'm a high lvl carom player, and I use a medium kamui tip. I like the feeling of pure contact without the "pillow"-effect. I never misscue though. Are carom tips different than pooltips or is it because of the difference in the balls?
GJ Billiards wow that's actually pretty rare usually carom players love to grip the ball more to put more spin (at least from what I know but I'm just average carom player) usually the harder tip are for people who play with too much spin to force them to not use as much. I would have thought soft would be perfect tip for carom but like o said it's all subjective. If you like medium then keep medium :)
GJ Billiards and no carom/pool tips are the same just smaller tip for carom so maybe this plus bigger ball will have an impact. I will try to put a medium on my carom cue next time. Maybe it gives me better average haha
Venom Trickshots thanks for your reaction! Funny thing is I always advise people to use soft tips because of your reasons, but for me a medium it gives more security in shots that I play a good gathering. You're right it's personal prefference. Good luck with the video's en billiard games!
Hi Florian... I'm from south africa and I have looked everywhere for a decent budget cue and I cannot find anything nice at all ... any cues that maybe you would know of?
Hi, Thank you so much for all your wonderful tips! Could you please tell me about the Pigskin (layered) cue tips. Both for snooker and pocket billiard cues. Are they really the best? Thank you so much, Kian - Iran
I always played with a hard and a 10mm pvc ferrule and I really missed those effects like the famous "pull" among other effects already when playing with the club up (making those effects that you mainly do a lot in your videos of trickshots) I can and I never knew why, I also tried to see the difference between the hard and soft soles but I could not get a clear explanation for it so if someone reads this comment and know the difference please speak! Thank you for the contribution.
Salut Florian! J adore ce que tu fais! Mais quand tu fais des vidéo tel que celle ci, serait t'il possible que tu mette le sous titrage en français? Merci d y réfléchir ça serait super cool! Merci à toi et continue de nous faire rêver comme tu le fait!
Viewed it in super slow motion it looks like you hit the que 3 times my instinct says twice just considering how far the que ball went to the right but you are 100percent right on the chalk and tip I use the same
On a side note. The harder tip gives you more power which means you can hit less off center and get the same spin, but less deflection. Counter inuitive yes but why do most pro players use a hard tip. More consistant. The Kamui does play a bit harder for a soft tip than others though. So it is sort of apples to oranges comparison. I would play with the hardest tip that your not miscueing with. The tip lasts much longer and your play will be more consistant which is what actually counts not making a low percentage super spin move shot. You would be suprised you well one can play with a phenalic break tip if you have a nice strait stroke. Downside of a hard tip is you must hit the ball with a certain speed. Say 3 out of 10. Any slower if your not near the middle of the cue ball you may miscue. On rail shots you may have to use some downward pressure and elevate to keep from miscueing. The trade off in play is worth the added consistancy . imoi.
No, Kamui SS tip does not "play harder" as you said. Kamui SS is the softest rated tip. Go search online for : 'cue tip hardness chart' and you will see that Kamui SS = rated the softest out of all of them
I´ve played pool for fun for 40 years and recently bought a cheap cue (under 100€) so I don´t have to use the well worn ones in the pubs and clubs. But why is it that all the cheaper cues have rock hard tips? I´m getting more miscues - especially on draw shots - than I do even with pub cues? I´ve tried looking for a softer tip but the best I can get - under 20€ - is a medium hardness. Is there anything I can do to soften up the tip?
How did you deal with people telling you your playstyle was wrong as you were growing your game? I find that a lot of people tell me to stop doing this or that instead of how to do it better. For example, I tend to use spin on most shots because I don't have to hit as hard for position. I would like to think I'm an above average player as I can run out and I very rarely miss as long as my headspace is clear. But, when I do miss, people come over and they blame the spin, failing to see all my previous successes. They'll say things like "Only shoot center," "Dont hit hard," or "the cue needs to stay in the center of the table." I personally approach every shot differently. Some center, some spin, some soft stroke, some hard, and even sometimes i'll jab at the cue instead of follow through because I understand the different physics. My only weak point is defensive play because I'm an offensive powerhouse and a creative pool player and I try to make my matches visually artistic. It just seems like people are trying to dumb my game down when I'm trying to make the competitive aspect of it more engrossing and exciting. It gets discouraging sometimes. Idk if people are afraid of me or what. I've only been at this for a year and am beating 7s in APA and people who have playing 10-20+ years. I guess my true question is, how should I approach receiving advice and help when most of it seems like it'll change who I am as a pool player, and not for the better?
bluecollarways blackman Always. I wanna be an artistic shooter. Not a trick shot artist, but a regulation player that uses a lot of spin and creative shotmaking, similar to Efren, but I had the natural talent for it before I even knew he existed. I even learned how to stroke with my oppisite hand to avoid using a bridge because you cant apply draw efficiently with a bridge.
I ALSO USE LEFT HAND INSTEAD OF BRIDGE , I LEARNED THAT THROWING DARTS LEFTY HELPS MY DELICATE SIDE OF MY STROKE ALSO..I SAY IF YOU WANT TO BE LIKE EFREN THEN PLAY BCA AND DO YOUR DRILLS BUT EFREN HAS A SMILE ON HIS FACE ALWAYS SO WHY NOT BE AVID TRICKSHOT ENTHUSIAST TO SO YOU NEVER LOOSE YOUR SENSE OF CREATIVITY AND NEVER GET BOARD...ALSO I DO BOARDER TRAINING TO GROOVE THE MUSCLE IN THE ARM LEFT OR RIGHT THIS WILL GET YOUR STROKE PERFECT NOT SAYING YOU NEED IT BUT I DID AND STILL DO IT DAILY ESPECIUALLY WHEN I CANT GET TIME TO PLAY....A FRIEND OF MINE USES HIS PALM ON TABLE AND MAKES A PEACE SIGN AND USES THAT AS HIS BRIDGE AND THAT WORKD REALLY WELL ALSO
bluecollarways blackman Yeah I'm always doing stroke exercises. I even stroke with a ten pound weight and I can keep it straight with my right arm but not my left yet. I definitely need more commitment on drills. I do them every so often but they're boring to me. What do you mean by boarder exercises? I did make up this one drill that's pretty difficult. It's meant for stroke precision and speed accuracy. Freeze two balls with one hanging over the edge of the corner pocket. Place a ball on the short rail at the other end of the table and try to freeze that ball to the two frozen ones without knocking the first ball in. Keep doing that until you stack all 15. You can hit rail first to lose velocity. Took me about an hour to complete.
i couldn't copy the link with all of my infinite wisdom,lol.... but the title iscsi presents dr cue :essential mechanics #3 barrier training this video isn't the best way but you will see what I mean by barrier or boarder training... hop it helps
So I am an average pool player and I am looking to get a cue with low deflection but I’m not sure what to look at, my price range is 350 and under, any suggestions would me great
ski man Im trying to go buy and have it installed tonight but idk if ill make it before they close but ill let you know when i find out. Right now im playing with and elk master which is also a super soft but ive been mis cueing lately a lot and i dont feel confident with it anymore. I think the tip is breaking down or maybe it requires a lot of maintenance
@ Andrew: based on what? Your view of it's appearance? Shane VanBoening was using a CueTec, and he just won the final game in the 2018 Mosconi Cup. What does that say?
I only shoot with tiger sniper tips (Hard). Maybe that's why I have trouble with the 2mm draw shots. What is usually the maintence on a soft tip? With a hard tip I only have to retip once a year if that.
If you want to do a long distance draw shot like a table length draw shot then a grippy medium layered tip is much better than a soft tip. The soft tips are better for follow. The tiger everest and emerald and kamui mediums are excellent tips
@@VenomTrickshotsOfficial So when people say they use a tip thats either a nikel or a dime, surely that can't be true? Those measurements are huge, it would be like playing pool with a musket. Is that an exagerration? Because even a 13mm tip is smaller than dime (which is almost 2 cm)
I disagree. I play with a triangle tip. Which is a hard tip. And I play all over the cue ball. As long as you have a level stroke and chulk up every time. You can hit anywhere on the cue. I to prove my point constantly place my tip on the felt right before the cue and strike it that low. And I don't muscle. Biggest difference is speed control. Tiangles really spin the ball to. But the super soft are probably a little more spin but I doubt they get much more action. At least not for me. He'll I can soft draw 16 feet if I'm within 4 feet of the object ball.
Doesn't this player represent Kamui? Doesn't Kamui pay him for his endorsement? I'm supposed to consider this to be reliable advice? This is advertising.
DO NOT get Kamui chalk. It's the worst possible chalk out there. It should be banned really. it sticks to the cue ball like crazy and it makes the table unbelievably dirty. Seriously, it is a mess. Their tips are good, but the chalk is horrible.
This is more of an advertising video than anything else. Kamui doesn't make bad Tips, mind you, but beware when a Kamui sponsored man talks of Kamui tip being the best on the market...
"Kamui chalk reduces deflection?!". Get out of here. How much did Kamui pay you to say that. Yeah I get way more deflection with my revo when I use Master or Blue Diamond chalk lmao.
I disagree. A hard tip imparts more spin.I asked Dr Cue Tom Rossman. He said a hard tip is less forgiving and will result in more miscues. I'm kind of shocked you would say that?
Thank you for taking the time to explain to us in detail the effects of a soft tip
opposed to others and the use of a better chalk.
most informative video on tips I've seen so far.
I know he's not even playing any shots, but man his cue action is just flawless. The way he demonstrates these shots. Just pure technique.
i started playing pool 2 years ago, and you were my inspiration
Hi venom i play snooket alot long shots pretty easy short shots no to good im pretty aggressive what tip would you recommend thanks ps got a really hard tip on at the moment
Not an expert in snooker but in pool the more agressive the softer you go usually? Kamui soft would probably work great for you...

Is that a Kamui patch on your polo shirt?
Do you have a problem with the soft tip flattening out on you ? Do you find yourself having to reshape it or do more maintenance than you would with other tips ? If so, how or what process you use to fix it
Not really, actually mine get very round usually but you do have to reshape sometimes etc. Standard process though but basic tool and a few seconds

I think they just call it simonis grey :)

I use 11.75mm but that's personal preference :)
What's the best tip for a jump cue? I'm trying to learn how to jump.
Thanks so much for this useful info.. Just ordered the new predator shaft that has no ferral and come standard with a soft tip. Can’t wait to use it.
What mm is your preferred tip?
Is there really that big of a difference from a 13mm down to a 12mm for English?

"Kamui chalk reduces deflection?!". Get out of here. How much did Kamui pay you to say that. Yeah I get way more deflection with my revo when I use Master or Blue Diamond chalk lmao.
Dude is such a sellout
