Dave Pearson, a great friend of mine, is the World Record Holder for Speed Pool. Not sure what Speed Pool is? Well, you try to run as many 15 ball racks that you can in a timed event. His current Guiness Book record is 26.5 seconds. And he pockets the 8 ball last!
See more about Dave at his web site Pool Sensations.
I have taken some of his best selling personally designed cues and added a Lucasi Hybrid Shaft. Threw in his Pool dvd to boot. The whole package only costs $159.20 saving you over $200 dollars. Click here for this Lucky Break Special.

Players Pool Cue Review: HydroGel HCS40
I have been playing with the Players HydroGel HCS40 Blue pool cue for a couple of weeks now. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much. The cue looks like it was designed to sell in Dick's Sporting Goods. You know, one of those big box chains, where the clerk couldn't tell you anything about pool, so they make the cue all flashy and price it low to attract a buyer.
Well I was surprised. This Players HydroGel cue is pretty cool.
I definitely saw reduced deflection and my shots were more accurate. The HX Low Deflection shaft has a lightweight proprietary absorbing core. The lighter tip is what reduced my unwanted spin therefore giving me more control.
The Players HydroGel HCS40 has a stainless steel 5/16 x 18 joint with a solid hit. Also, there’s the grip, or the HydroGel Contouring system, which is a silicone like substance encased in a molded rubber handle. That felt great when it conformed to my hand. Definitely different! This is not like playing with an Irish Linen wrap. The HCS system is supposed to reduce vibration and feel more responsive. I liked the touch however I couldn't tell how much vibration was reduced.
Overall it has performance features often found in way more expensive cues. If I was trying to master cue ball control with a low deflection shaft then I'd spring for the $151.99. The Players HydroGel HCS40 is a great start to learning how to use the high end technology cues that are popular with the pros like Predator cues or Lucasi Hybrid cues.

9 Ball Match-Exciting Race to 7-Great Pool Shots
This is HOT! Thorsten Hohmann and Mike Massey are some of the best pool players in the world. Enjoy this video of a race to 7 playing 9 ball between them. Some of the better filming of pool that I have seen. Great music and great pool shots. Video courtesy of Jordidonosti.
Notice the Super Aramith Pro TV billiard ball set that they are shooting pool with... the pink and brown balls really stand out. They would make a great gift for any pool player.

Hilarious insights into League Pool @OMGWTF: a little more
I have spent many hours reading about pool when I can't play. I came across this blog several months ago. It is very entertaining! I always smile after I read her posts.
Recently she quit league pool for many reasons and this post is her response back to the many comments that she has gotten from quitting. OMGWTF: a little more
I am sure that you'll enjoy it.
