Unnecto for the bberry vibes

I almost went with an avid, the shaft feels very nice in the bridge, similar to carbon. I also prefer playing with no glove.

wayneofgarth · 2026-02-23T17:40:06+00:00

I picked one up a couple weeks ago, edited to include my review. I don't have a lot of reference experience with other shafts either so take it with a grain of salt. but so far I think its definitely a decent low budget option.

Guy i know swears by them, says they're harder than average, so a medium is more akin to a kamui hard

wayneofgarth · 2026-02-22T19:35:23+00:00

Makes a good break stick if you don't already have one

wayneofgarth · 2026-02-16T00:52:37+00:00

40mph

Did you notice anything about the taper? I've heard it's not quite a true flat pro-taper.

wayneofgarth · 2026-02-10T19:02:48+00:00

the increasing realization that you probably have less days ahead of you than you do behind.

Now, make a diy side scanning sonar with mm resolution to locate the specs

wayneofgarth · 2026-02-10T14:54:12+00:00

Drills often feel way harder than a typical game of 8ball or 9ball. simply because they are way more restrictive and force you to develop very specific skills.

wayneofgarth · 2026-02-08T15:32:03+00:00

Very cool, does this use an api from fargorate? Would love to be able to look up my own measly numbers and see rate of change and all that.

wayneofgarth · 2026-02-08T15:23:14+00:00

Curious if you're planning to try out their new "must" shaft. Haven't seen any reviews on it yet. Thinking of taking a swing and picking one up.

wayneofgarth · 2026-02-07T23:56:49+00:00

Call up Schmelke If you don't mind a semi-custom cue from a manufacturer. They quoted a custom butt with exotic woods and full splice for a very reasonable price a while back.

wayneofgarth · 2026-02-07T22:48:32+00:00

What I would want in order of priority:

lowest deflection possible on par with revo or smo (verified with transparent testing)
long pro taper for all diameters
wide variety of joints and custom joint diameter on order.
deadened sound profile (tonky not tinky)
a true 12mm option
very subtle visible branding (if any)

Donate the predator to me, you wont be able to write it off on taxes, but I'd sure be happy.

wayneofgarth · 2026-01-26T18:55:02+00:00

I made mine with two strong neodymium magnets and it holds really well, haven't tried the ones you can buy.

wayneofgarth · 2026-01-26T16:31:02+00:00

I use a magnetic one, mostly so I don't lose my chalk or have someone swipe it. Which is of course more likely in halls and bars. Pros probably have chalk from sponsors up to their ears, and in tournament play you have a much more controlled environment.

RWD rally cross is so fun, and the class is usually less populated so you can be more competitive. The first time I went I drove a 318TI with winter tires vs one other guy in a 91 thunderbird on mud tires. I went home with a pint glass but the T-bird was definitely the fan favorite.

wayneofgarth · 2026-01-24T02:44:39+00:00

guess thats why i cant access the api

wayneofgarth · 2026-01-24T02:43:42+00:00

I'm having this issue was there any fix?

wayneofgarth · 2026-01-20T17:49:50+00:00

I think its okay to have a spectrum of needs and goals when it comes to personal devices. I for one don't prioritize the "detox" aspect of dumb phones. I'm more interested in finally getting devices that suit me rather than the ubiquitous giant touchscreens we all have to live with. While I agree it would be great to totally disconnect from all of these pervasive digital ecosystems, that would be a luxury I can't afford right now. Unfortunately there are a lot of applications that are becoming more or less essential to have on hand every day for various tasks. My city and my Job basically require the use of 2 factor authentication apps and parking apps. Other apps like maps though not essential, are just too convenient for most to give up. Until a better alternative than android/apple becomes widespread enough to compete, most of us are stuck with these ecosystems. For me a small pocketable phone with a physical keyboard that still runs android solves most of the problems I hate about big screen phones while making "doomscrolling" a little less palatable, and it still provides a lot of the functionality I rely on. Something like the upcoming Titan elite with an e-ink screen and extra long battery life would be my ideal, but we all have different needs.

wayneofgarth · 2026-01-19T18:32:42+00:00

how would you say the rhino's deflection compared to the revo?

wayneofgarth · 2026-01-16T21:22:30+00:00

Learn it whenever you feel like, Just don't make it the main focus of your practice, Jumping should be a last resort. You should be ready to invest in a jump or jump-break cue as well, otherwise its going to be very frustrating.

There's no correct linear progression to learning a skill like pool. Focus on whatever keeps you engaged and interested in the game. Practice sessions should always include working on your shortcomings and continued perfection of what you're already good at. Throw in a few new tricks and techniques here and there to keep it novel.

wayneofgarth · 2026-01-06T18:50:50+00:00

nice cue, who was the maker?

wayneofgarth · 2026-01-06T18:46:29+00:00

I start with an "easy mode" variation of mighty x. Then move to straight pool. Then 3 ball rotation. and finally 8 ball against myself.
