I found your channel through suggested videos one day, and I just couldn't stop watching. You really inspired me to play pool. In this lockdown, I made a mini pool table at home and made some trickshot videos on my channel. Thanks for making pool this interesting. Keep it up!!
With this 10 $ Cue stick you are able to create more draw than me with my low deflection cue. 😲 I think i have to train hard on my stroke.😂😂😂 Greeting from Koblenz / Germany
If it's not WAY too late, you could try putting a pro tip on it to see what difference that makes. Would have been a nice idea to also try like a 20$ / 40$ queue and compare the 3. There's probably a good enough starter queue in there where there's no bad habit penalty associated with it. Or a good enough to more than good enough with a better tip. Tx again.
I bet if you cut that tip off and put on a high quality layered tip, it would do everything better including jumping and masse shot. The only thing that will never change is Deflection. My first cue was from Walmart and I had all the same problems you had here 🤣🤣
I am commenting because I would like to see florian use a WalMart cue thats warped and bent like half the ones on the shelf and try to run a 9 ball rack. By the way, the video says check the description to win the cue, but the description doesn't actually say how to win the cue? :)
If time travel is possible, you can put that $10 cue in the hands of a prime Efren Reyes in the US open or a high stakes money game, then we can see what that cue can really do. I like this video, btw.
I bought the short cues for my daughters age 9&10.Retiped them as soon as I got home with Elk Masters.Turns out they aren’t that bad with a decent tip.
0.5 of 10 for JUMP. That's why I never do jumps with cues like that. But to be honest, I always did tricks with cheap cues only. All of my videos with trickshots are done using really-really cheap cues. Thank to Florian I started to learn trickshots and practicing this kind of art as hard as I can. But... Yeah, I always wanted to try good hard masse cue instead of this sh*t, or feel the real joy instead of lottery feelings cuz using cheap cues you never be sure you do the trick...
Just don't break with them. They're not solid. I split one in half that belonged to a friend. You could have atleast throwed an elkmaster tip on it. I can't remember how many Walmart cues friends have sent home with me to have a good tip put on
So if you bought a cheap WalMart cue, threw away the shaft and fitted it with a custom carbon fiber shaft for $250, you could save as much as $500 over a brand name cue.
Can't believe he did not first shape and scuff the tip. Come on. Isn't that the first thing you do regardless of cost? Does he use a Kamui tip right out of the box? The test would have had even better results. As always, it's the Indian not the arrow.
Years ago I bought my first cue for € 25,- and actually it was not that bad. When I played more I bought a real cue (meucci and later predator), and gave the € 25 cue to some girl. And she played it for years (not that often). During a match, my tip damaged, and I borrowed it back, and won the match. And the € 25 cue is better than the 'house cue'.
Could You do some crazy rotations on snooker table (f.e. Judd Trump's backspin through entire table)? Or could You play exhibition snooker match against some snooker pro?
If you would have just changed the tip would make a big difference. Them cheap cues like that at Wal-Mart are not really that bad at all. Better tips sure makes a difference
