I recently got to try the Revo shafts in both sizes with a uni-lock joint. Like I've learned in business, I will utilize thee best tools that I can financially afford to buy, but it's more about how the tools are used. To the haters, no, I don't expect the gear to do it for me. While I'd like to do OK in local & maybe even regional tournaments, it's really about the game inside me more so than anything else. I've no ambition to be a Pro and gambling doesn't interest me. That being said, I'm not doing so to the exclusion of everything else, because that just won't work for me. I've made commitments to myself and I plan on keeping them. I've gotten a coach, I'm trying to play an hour a day, I'm re-reading my books, re-watching my DVDs, basically, just applying myself. The path to advancement in this sport, or in anything else in life when you get right down to it, is not a secret. I have the some time and a little bit of money to dedicate to pursuing advancement in my game the way I always wished I could. That was circa 1995.įast forward some time later. As much as I loved this game, any real or significant advancement wasn't going to happen. Life got busy, I was putting my career together, I was eyeball high in student loan debt, I had little time & even less money. Thank you for your post & sharing your experience. Then, After not even knowing what LD meant, I bought a pechauer cue/shaft. The following is my "adjustment" story: With some pretty high end cues that range in price from around $1,600 to around $8000 I was beating 10 ball ghost around 50ish% on real good nights in cheap sets of $50 to $100 at certain bars / halls. It's always fun to buy new pool equipment but it is a whole nother level of fun when it actually becomes a positive in our game and not just another cue/shaft etc. I'm sure you will if you actually give it a go.Ĭongrats on the new equipment. I hope you end up improving with your new equipment. It is real LD but it hits very stiff and has lots and lots of energy. Which is one of the main reasons I stay with the revo. Keep in mind, I was not a real strong player to begin with (and still am not IMO) so, I may have shown the second jump in skill with the pechauer if I had stayed with it but I really never did get use to that damn whippy feeling that most all true LD shafts possess. LOL.I am glad I stayed with it because now my 10 ball ghost average with BIH is hanging around 81% and my excel program has me at 84% in 9 ball. I threatened to throw the damn thing in the garbage more than once. I stayed with it for what seemed like forever. Well, I bought one and at first, just like with the Pechauer, my performance fell a lot. I thought to myself, would it cause another jump in performance? My 10 ball ghost % fell to around 30% (excel program that tracks it).Īfter a couple weeks of daily playing (couple hours a day of drills) my ghost average started getting back to my 50ish% but then improved even more till I was hitting almost 60%.Ī friend let me use his and I again could feel a difference in the hit/feel and seen even lower deflection.
