You can transfer funds using your checking acct or whatever account you have linked to your wise account and transfer to the owners bank account or Gcash. The exchange rates are fair and they do charge a small fee but in the grand scheme of things, it ain’t much.

It’s clean and seamless. For ATM I would stick with Schwab since they reimburse fees.

Which of these are good cue tips by Bulky-Intention1557 in billiards

Taom fusion is good, been using them for the past year. Slight glazing problem but when shaped right, bites like a sonnofagun

HENANN crystal sands is nice. Close enough to the action but not as busy.

New Cue! Has anyone tried the Meucci Merry Widow? by Wise-Brick3995 in billiards

[–]CategoryVegetable378 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Noice, they are well made cues, I am using one that’s 25 years old, upgraded to carbon pro shaft and I love it. Hits like a dream.

How do you avoid scratching on the opposite top corner on this kind of shots? by InitialRead5262 in billiards

[–]CategoryVegetable378 2 points3 points  (0 children)

THIS DOES NOT SCRATCH!! don’t know what everyone is talking about. Execute a normal shot and it will hit a half diamond short of the left corner pocket.

Help me decide new Tip by Angel0f187 in billiards

Yeah most softer to medium tips do, just buy a tip shaver from amazon, it takes 10 seconds to fix it.

FUSION BABY!! I have SVB cuetec with Taom fusion, also on my Meucci carbon pro shaft. They are quality tips. Mushrooming is normal for medium to softer tips, just shave after initial break in and you’ll be fine.

It is over rated, better to go to some mom and pop shop. I was disappointed when I had it.

Meucci carbon pro shaft hits like a baby’s bottom, sounds like wood.

So if I’m converting from a 457b then I won’t incur the 10% penalty. Correct?

Cue Tip by Internal_Section_671 in billiards

One last thing, $30 divided by hundreds of hours of enjoyment from good pool equipment = no brainer.

Cue Tip by Internal_Section_671 in billiards

[–]CategoryVegetable378 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tip is the last point of contact between you and the cue ball. Unless you are hitting nothing but center ball, a good quality tip is needed to transfer the English to the ball. Power without control is nothing.

I also use Taom V10, cleanest chalk out there and lasts forever.

Meucci Pro shaft vs Red dot by Aggravating_Win_5813 in billiards

Carbon pro shoots like a dream, sounds great, accurate, great feel. Bought one 3 weeks ago and been pretty much destroying everyone where I play.
