As someone with a $200 low deflection cue and a local shark with a $700 one, the difference is super noticeable. We play with the same Kamui soft tip and his cue FEELS like it’s more expensive than mine. Mechanically, an expensive cue wont make you a better player but if you have the skills to match the quality of your cue, it will undoubtedly take your game to the next level.

Your comments on cues low deflection cue and prices is all the things that I've been looking forward to hearing because I am in the market for a break cue. I'm still not sure though exactly what I'm going to get but I am much better off knowledge wise now that I saw your video then I was before. Thank you for your videos they're all educational and I really do enjoy them.

Thanks B, I just went from a standard to a LD Lucasi. I was getting frustrated at first, but now its the best decision I could have made now that I'm getting my reps in. Love the videos especially the drills!

[kennethcox]

I enjoy everything you post. Thanks so very much.

Hi Brian. A really good rundown on carbon fiber shafts which should answer most peoples questions. Good job. Thank you.👍

[scambodia]

Great channel, thanks for all your advice.

[Frogbillards]

. I have a low deflection Jacoby shaft. . I didn't notice much difference at first. But after using my carbon fiber. When I went back the other way to a wooden shaft.????
I was like ?? wow !! how did I shoot with this for 30 years. I knew I was going to upgrade... I wish I would have just gone low deflection right out of the gate. Thank you for your ALWAYS VERY INFORMATIVE....

[hartbreakr]

You're really a excellent player and teacher as well. Hope you can spend your time for a topic to explain about the difference between soft, medium and hard tip. Thank you so much and have a nice day!!

[zanebeasley]

Thank you the information I was looking for.

[eliothowell]

Thanks for making a video that's easy to understand. Will be moving up in the McDermott line.

[thurmanlybrand]

I learn more from you in the shortest time you are amazing. But most you seem to care about people. Not just a way to make more money. Keep people first and you will do great. Everyone knows when they are important. God Bless

Funny that you mentioned about the wraps. Growing playing during college, I liked the wraps but always caught myself at the butt end of the cue because like you im a taller guy. When I got my predator, I asked for a wrapless since everytime I got in the zone on the table I would notice the feel would be at the wrapless area. I love it! I got a sport 2 Ice with a Z shaft (maybe I should of started with the 314 but since the shop wasn't going to charge me extra I opted for the Z at the time) I never looked back and fell in love with the feel and sound of every hit. I switched the tip to a kamui black soft since at the time I couldn't find super softs and I have to say its one of the best upgrades ive ever had. I would like to own a 314 & a revo one day but for now its all I got and im okay with it.

[ronaldmontgomery]

Thanks good job. I stopped at the Predator both in Vegus and screwed a revo on to the butt of my playing cue, a long time ago, shot 20 balls. Great I love it I'll take one right now no I had to wait 6 months. I tried a defy, McDermott, because of the dead blow effect and it felt good so I bought one and gave a good long try, it now resides in my bag as a back up to the revo.

[macbonelli]

Awesome video. I subscribed and will follow. Great content.

[MarceloJoseAnguloPimienta]

FX have right!! I am using all my equipment of cues, your definition of this practice its true, so thanks for your support, I never realize if you did talk about that, I just tried to mantain the same condition on the game taken all my shafts,
Two Revo 12.4
One 314 third gen
One Lucasi híbrid laminated
One Cuetec Avid Fiber Glass shafts

Mistake in combinatiion, no have Big progress, only wast time.

[rockfish]

Great discussion as always THANKS. Have you made a video that discusses cue tips. For example. Vary soft, to hard, layered not layered plus other information. I’m a new player and student of the game just wanting to learn.

[BMWLDRider]

Good stuff. I'm in the transition stage and can tell you the LD shaft makes a huge difference.

[glockasauruswrex]

I'm in my 1st APA 8-ball league n am using a Viking standard cue. Always loved pool, just never played seriously til now...just ordered a 314 3rd gen shaft. Might as well bite the bullet now n get used to LD as more n more of my shots require english for shape on the next. I plan on switching n never lookin back! Thx Bryan!

[jerrycasey]

I have a Tiger X-LD 12.5, the X is that it's 30" instead of 29". I like that extra little bit. I sent it back for a new tip, the Sniper is quite good also, and while it was out I borrowed a friend's, same model. His seems to hit just a little bit different.... I often use lots of spin, I'm a fan of Efren, and I find it's quite a good cue. I may go for carbon at some point, Tiger is coming out with one also.

[bnsimanton]

another good video and summed a lot up nicely. true about when you switch go cold turkey, but i wound up going back to my old 314 (which was an exerience to switch to 20 years ago) only because i didnt have confidence in my new shaft. bad on me.
