As technology progresses and the industry rides the waves of the demand for Carbon Fiber, many companies have capitalized on this trend. Every company has its version of these shafts, which all have a different feel, just like their wood counterparts. You can get different tapers and shaft diameters, and any pin will fit. These shafts have many advantages, and I don’t see them going anywhere soon. That said, some companies specialize in making carbon fiber shafts. For example

So, you want to get sponsored and rep for a company, be one of the elites? Yeah, you and every other player. We all want that status and enjoy the perks of getting stuff for free.

I’ve finally made it to a final of an international event—huge c

Aloysius Yapp at the World Games 2022, Birmingham Monday, August 1st, 2022 – Aloysius Yapp, from Singapore, is a player in pool that I believe has gone under the radar. From my perspective, he is up there with Joshua Filler, Shane Van Boening, Francisco Sanchez Ruiz, Dennis Orcollo, and so many other top-world-ranked players. Currently, he is ranked world #7 and is a former world #1, so, at just age 26, he has already achieved an impressive pool resume. Yapp is a ve

Monday, August 8th, 2022 – Some people say, "I used to play pool so well back in the day." And some people say this, and they say that about how it "used to be." I'm not one of those players. I've been a top amateur player since back around 2000 when I became a skill level 7 in APA eight ball and nine ball. Now? If I played APA anything, I'd be a skill level 7 in eight ball, and a NINE in 9 ball. When you know, you know. And I've been thinking about pool lately, writing billi

CSI Commentator Mark White talks about what Pool means to him!

The break is one of the most important shots of the game and I feel that many people just try and power through it. Whether you like a little finesse in your break or simply like to try and hit them as hard as you can, the most important part of the entire shot is controlling the cue ball. Some like a softer break tip and others like a rock-hard tip. Kamui has been an industry leader for years and their innovations have helped the players reach new heights. They have a wide v

Have you ever felt your body get tense during a match? Have you ever felt insecure about a shot? Have you ever missed a key shot you lined up “perfectly” for? Have you ever been annoyed by your opponent? Have you ever felt like you were unstoppable one day and then question whether you belong in a pool hall another day? W elcome to the mental game. The impact our mind has on not only our performance, but our perspective, as well, is astounding. There are so many elements that

Pool is a game of ups and downs. Most pool players experience a slump at some time or another. Slumps occur when you play below your expected ability for a prolonged period of time. Most pool players do not know why they are playing poorly, so they tend to look for solutions in all the wrong places. Sometimes this causes the player’s performance to drop even more. Often, the player falls deeper and deeper into despair. Pool players are often unable to break free from the cha
