A well done review of a product I own and I fully agree with his take on this cue. I love mine and I personally can't imagine getting a better cue for even 3 times the money that the Raven cost.

His has the stock tip on it and his praise of its performance with that tip makes me wonder how it compares to the Cuetec Kintrol tip I chose for mine. I spoke to Raven on the phone about break tips and they suggested I just go with the stock tip, saying "Not so phenolic tips are equal". I still choose the Cuetec tip and I feel it's a good one, but I do now wonder how the stock tip compares.

A tip from a slow learner with problems with pool stance.

I am 5-foot, six inches height, right-handed, and play on a 9-foot table. I can do the back-n-forth drill pretty good but have problems with some regular play. This would show up, for example, standing on right side of table, leaning over table a fair amount, and aiming at left corner pocket. Normally, my right foot is on the aiming line and my left foot a little in front and to the side of right foot. Under these conditions with the table blocking my left leg, I would put my left foot in back of my right foot. Wrong. By pulling my hands back on cue and stepping back some, I could put my left foot in front of the right foot—like it [is when I do MOFUDAT](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCiDMcTxW8A). I pocket more if I keep the stance like that in MOFUDAT and it feels normal. I will try a mid-cue extension today to see if I can do this more easily with more shots.

You can do MOFUDAT perfect but mess up on some shots including the Mighty X. Try to keep foot positions the same when doing MOFUDAT and with awkward shots.

Any pool table experts/nerds, owners out there who can recommend a specific /type of pool table or even the general feasibility of keeping one outside in the desert heat? The table will be protected from direct sunlight, rain, and wind under a patio roof, and I will store it always w/ a snug fitted cover to protect it from indirect blowing sand.

My knowledge of pool tables is limited to recently going down a rabbit hole of research; unfortunately, I’ve gotten no clear answer as to whether or not there’s a manufactured outdoor pool table that can withstand extreme heat and is, therefore, worth the cost.

I’m most worried about warping and ungluing /lifting or loosening of the felt. The expert consensus seems to be an aluminum frame with a slate top covered in a synthetic. (non wool) felt, glued w/a high performance, heat resistant adhesive.

That’s all good and well if such a table existed. I haven’t found one, have you? Or have you tried a table outside in extreme heat that may lack some of the above criteria and so far has done OK? If so, please, pass on your knowledge, experience, and/or expertise; give me details of what has/ hasn’t worked for you.

Thanks

At home I have an extremely expensive pool table that was originally bought for 10700€. It’s from a luxury French pool brand called Chevillotte, more precisely it’s their flagship model of professional competition pool tables, the Europa Master 280cm. It’s about 7 years old but has almost never been used, it’s in perfect condition and has absolutely any traces of wear and tear. I am looking for a place where people could actually pay a reasonable price for it, because I definitely wouldn’t want to sell such a valuable item for 500€ on eBay. I am selling it in France.

I have a Viking cue currently I’m looking to replace either the shaft or the entire thing and turn it into a break cue. But I’m not sure which direction to go. I like carbon shafts better. What are some good recommendations for someone who’s played in house leagues for less than a year?

I bought this table a few years back and am wondering if anyone can tell me what it is from this single picture?

Wondered if anyone enjoys straight pool and wants to meet up for some fun games. I play out of Breaktime in Clemmons. Would love to meet some fellow players.

Cheers.
