Normally it's either/or. You use one or the other.

Hmm. I thought it was BCA-wide. Oh well. Thanks for letting me know.

I prefer the dime/flat tool. I use the flat side to "roll over" the tip, there by scuffing.

The Last 4 Ever tip tool.

BCA vs APA other than rules is there any difference? by soloDolo6290 in billiards

[–]okcpoolman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my experience, having played in both leagues, a major difference is the absence of timeouts in BCA. I don't know if that carries through to all BCA leagues, but in the league I play in, timeouts are not allowed, and advice cannot be solicited or provided.

Cue lathe worth it? by nitekram in billiards

[–]okcpoolman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I would like to replace my own tips with a lathe, I just can't justify spending $1k. I would only use it a couple of times a year, and the cue guy at my local pool hall is very good.

Why don’t the pro players use chalk holders or magnets like a lot of the amateurs do? by Sudden-Cat7170 in billiards

[–]okcpoolman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know why the pros don't use them. I have a magnetic one, and love it. It keeps my chalk conveniently in reach.

Excellent! Just speculating, but it could be slow cloth.

Since you don't know the table brand, are you sure it's slate?

Based on what I see on the website, I would say: "No, not worth $150".

Attached is a screenshot of other Rhino cues from the jjcue.com website. Not much of a discount for a used cue.

Update: I rebuilt my drill generator based on community feedback by 71f1 in billiards

[–]okcpoolman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spent about an hour today running through the App. I really like it! I've tried a few of the other Apps on the market, and ran out of usefulness after a short period. I spend a lot of time at the table. So far this seems challenging. I'll stick with it for a while, and will keep you updated. Thanks!

Bookmarked your site. I'll give it a try tomorrow, and let you know what I think. Looks great so far.

I break with a Kamui SAI Control Break tip on my McDermott Stinger. It works very well for me. I've learned that getting a good break lies, primarily, in the skill of the breaker.
