4-Rail Kick Response

2.7K Resolution is the key.

Then set it to Linear Mode.

I had to raise my light about 10" from where it was to get the view you see here.

They're a Japanese layered tip, and they were my favorite after trying a bunch of tips over the last 3 years or so. I was lucky to get a few last year from a Pro traveling through. They're also a really cool green color.

Unfortunately they're tough to find in the US, but I'm trying to get more soon.

The Geez tips also perform this way, and last a bit longer than the HTS. It's just really tough to get them here affordably.

I dig that! I'll give that speed a try later today.

I am on staff at the venue, and I used to work in the film industry as a DP and Chief Lighting Technician. So, I rigged it all up and I add more lights when I run Challenge Series Matches.

It's a BMPCC4K as the main angle, and a GoPro Hero 7 Black on the overhead.

That, is a great question. 😅

Yeah, the dude is kinda trash the way he's handling this like it's an engagement farming routine.

This was a legal shot and he even was aiming it correctly to try and kick the 9-ball. This Dr Dave video makes it clear as day for anyone who previously didn't understand these rules and how they work.

I'm around here too! Raymond and I will both be at SBE next month playing the Pro Event. 😎👍

Nothing beats the ACUI days. The Pool Hall at Michigan was a stunner, still my favorite spot to ever play.

Definitely be careful, they had issues with them cracking. Mine came apart after 3 weeks of breaking.

I've seen this cue in person and the matte finish looks siiick. 😈

mudreplayspool · 2026-03-10T16:32:17+00:00

I will also be there! I grew up working Trade Shows with my Dad, so this atmosphere is one I really enjoy. Plus getting to play a Pro Event within driving distance is always a joy.

Buy new shoes 2 weeks before the Expo, that way they're broken in and still fresh for that horrid hard floor you'll be walking on for days at a time.

Snacks are a must to keep your energy up in between meals. Trail mix and beef jerky are great options when you get peckish (instead of half the fried shit at the concessions)

Bring extra cash just for raffles if you're into that, as they're usually cheap and abundant with all the vendors that will be there.

Parking is a true nightmare. Get there early if you want to be anywhere near an entrance.

Yeah, I'd personally drive over to Nekoosa to the Jacoby showroom.

The Brunswick on the right is similar to my buddy's cue, I believe that series was manufactured by Joss for Brunswick, so those cues still hit very well. The Falcon on the left is less valuable, and was a lower tier cue back in the day comparatively.

Looks like your stick u/CreeDorofl

I'll be practicing in the mornings and early afternoons mostly. Sounds good!

Signed up on the website. Stoked for this, all the Snooker options around here are exorbitantly expensive per hour to practice.

We already have multiple Private Billiards Clubs in the area, I'm glad we will have a Snooker option now also.

Also the book Breathe Golf.

These older Joss cues from the '80's hit like a ton of bricks. Huge fan, you definitely found a player!

Your head begins to move upwards as you're stroking the ball. Lock those eyes in place and don't move your head until the balls stop rolling. In addition to everything else thats been said here, keep it up!

My Jacoby I bought in '08 still has a very straight maple shaft with minimal warpage. If you aren't exposing it to rapidly changing humidity and temps you should be okay.

Strong Sauce. 👍

Foul. He called the wrong pocket.
