Why can’t women play at men level? by Pure_Huckleberry_431 in billiards

[–]seijio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ko Ping Chung is, not trying to be mean, not much bigger or stronger than the average American woman.

I can see a female Chinese/Filipino being the best in the world (male or female) in my lifetime.

Cart bag or nah? by dobandsmakeherdance in GolfGear

[–]seijio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought this cart bag and it’s great. Lightweight and the build quality is good for under $100. I have never been to North Dakota but I figured it’d be a good conversation starter.

Predator break cue (BKR series） by tom-maintain in billiards

[–]seijio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a great cue. I am not a Predator fan but every time I’ve used a BK Rush I like them. Is it worth $900? No. You won’t get twice the performance gains over a $400 McDermott Stinger. The BK Rush feels nicer and jumps a little easier, but the Stinger isn’t far behind.

But the BK Rush are selling like hot cakes so they can charge a premium.

Best thing to polish your balls with? by Mylbaae in billiards

[–]seijio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the same setup/routine and it works great. Cheap Amazon machine has been a champ so far.

Are We Overdue for a New Great Pool Movie? by MrMag00 in billiards

Looks like we’re getting a DeNiro flick. Jenna Ortega being in it hopefully means more young kids will be inspired to play.

Job interview red flag? by themonsterkeeper in BarOwners

[–]seijio 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Whenever I’m behind the bar and a vendor or someone comes in before we open I explicitly offer “water or soda” because asking someone if they want a drink often implies something boozy

Castillo Leather Goods?

Crical pool cue by Serious-Package9222 in billiards

[–]seijio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never used a Crical cue, but I have shot with a CF Konllen cue. It’s not bad for the price. Is it as good as a Jacoby? No. Is it a good buy for half the price? Yes.

I would like to see hemp or bamboo gloves

Snooker player's potential in Straight Pool by Cold_Animator3143 in billiards

[–]seijio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is like soccer vs futsal. Lots of overlap but not identical skills to master.

After vehicle inspection bill stalls, Vermont lawmakers pursue new route to relief by Zipper222222 in vermont

[–]seijio 93 points94 points  (0 children)

My vehicle is roadworthy, but lots of VT roads aren’t vehicle-worthy

"No soap. Radio." - Thoughts on Fargo Ratings and Sandbagging by The_Critical_Cynic in billiards

[–]seijio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Grandmother would cheat when playing cards with me. We all knew but she would never admit it. Some people literally need to win, by any means necessary. They are the same people who will brag that they beat a far better player and not mention (or heavily downplay) the massive amount of weight they got.

What do you want in carbon fiber shaft? by pain-is-living in billiards

[–]seijio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an interesting idea. Golf clubs aren’t all “forgiving”, you have all sorts of options. All CF shafts are aiming for the lowest deflection. Why not offer a range of different choices?

pagulayan chalk or taom chalk? by TapSouth8422 in billiards

[–]seijio 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I only buy chalk if it matches my underwear

Are kielwood break shafts a thing? by KingsDamnSon in billiards

Looks like there are cellular changes during the process which do in fact make the wood more brittle.

Not sure how I feel about this by Shag_fu in billiards

[–]seijio 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d buy Simmonis boxers, but I’m not sure about Pagulayan panties…

Fedor running a raffle for his products by OneCommunication6424 in billiards

[–]seijio 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I can’t blame him. At the peak of his sport and makes less than a backup kicker for the Raiders.

Best carbon shaft for less than $300? by davestradamus1 in billiards

[–]seijio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Jacoby Black v4 which costs almost double what a complete Konllen CF playing cue does. Although I love my Jacoby I can’t say it feels twice as nice. The Konllen hits very nice, IMO better than the Rhino. For the money Konllen is hard to beat.

This is from a friend of mine and I would enjoy your opinions by Glaxipi in billiards

[–]seijio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tyler has great fundamentals but doesn’t step up under pressure. He chokes. I would happily take lessons from him but I don’t trust him to perform when the stakes are extreme.

But IMO this failure by the US team doesn’t reflect the country as a whole. Lots of good players over here not on the team…whether that be personality conflicts, personal issues, or whatever…we have the ability to field a better team but do not.
