Looked like a magic trick
Pretty cool stuff
Keep’em coming
This was like watching a magician pulling handkerchiefs out of his sleeve. I'd do a video of what's in my case but it's just one cue and a couple of bits of chalk 😂
I hoped you had a Mary Poppins case. The cues just kept coming out. Made me laugh.
Boy Bryan , sure glad you explained how many cues went into that case, you definitely had me scratching my head,
Haaahahaa!! Same here
Very very cool, thank you for sharing! I felt like I was a kid opening Christmas present after present, big smile on my face
Bryan, I started watching your videos a week or so ago and really enjoy them. Thanks for all the great stuff you post. This morning I purchased a new cue and I cannot tell you how cool it was to see you pull the same one out of your bag. You guessed it.............I was lucky enough to locate a Predator Blak4-4 in TX and having it shipped to me in OH. I can't wait. I have never had such a nice cue in my life.
Where did you find the predator Blak4?
I bought this Blak 4 15 years ago. I did an entire video about it a couple months ago. I love that thing. Hard to come by one, even used.
Hey Bryan ! As I was watching after about the 3rd butt you pulled out and then they kept coming and coming ... I thought of the old rabbit out of the hat trick ! It was great to see your personal functional art ... Thanks man !
Hey Brian I had the same issue with the grip on my lucasi hybrid wearing off. I bought a velvet grip wrap from ozone billiards for 11 bucks and I love it. Looks great feel great . Just a suggestion. Also if you go that route I'd suggest wear the grip is wore wrapping it with elastical tape the sliding the grip over the cue. I haven't had any issues with the velvet wrap slipping or any wear. Looks great
Nice collection Bryan...My 3/6 case has Cuetec Cynergy Starlight Edition with a 12.5 and 11.8 shaft with Tiger Sniper tips...Cuetec Cynergy Breach Ghost Edition break cue with Taom 2.0 tip....Cuetec Cynergy Propel Ghost jump cue with Taom tip...a Cuetec and a Kamui glove ...Cuetec 3 in 1 Bowtie tip tool...Cuetec extension...Retractable bridge stick...Predator and Kumui Roku chalk....and a Q Claw
Nice collection! And yeah, anything that makes you think of Shanelle Lorane is worth keeping!😍
Wow Bryan, that is a lot of equipment!
Thanks for explaining it all!
Glad to hear you mentioned the case itself! Investing in a quality case is important and some people over look!
P.s i miss your intro 😢
Thanks for watching!
Hi Bryan the 2nd case you have is sold by Omega Billiards out of Hurst Texas it is listed under Premium Leather Hand Tool cases with there logo
Thank you
Dude has a clown-car cue case. Great stuff!
Absolutely great video, I enjoy all your content. You pointed out the Last 4 Ever tip tool, which I also have in my bag but have only used once. The trouble I had in particular was with the burnisher along the sides of the tip. When I tried using it it didnt work too well, and the sides of the tip ended up with some ugly dull streaks. I bought the tool about 2 years ago and now contemplating getting rid of it, but would like to give it another try before deciding to dump it. For burnishing tips I been using the Ulti-mate Tip tool for many years, which works very well to get the job done. It's also the original metal version, not the cheepy plastic ones available today. Can you do a demonstration video on how to use the Last 4 Ever tip tool properly to get that flush "shiny" look when burnishing the sides of a tip? Such video would really help me and others who may be having the same issues with it.
Very educational, thank you.
Very cool vid. Once again knocked it outta the park. So much stuff in you case, I was waiting for Willie Mosconi to come crawling out that bag lol. I went to the links like you said to look for that "Lasts Forever" thing you keep in that little plastic box, but it isn't there. Will you please give a link to that?
Thank you for showing your arsenal
That is some collection. In my days most of the guys had Instroke cases (mainly brown/black) but nowadays folks have so many cues they get those crazy unfancy cases just to fit all the stuff in. All I ever needed is a 2x4 case.
Thanks for watching.
The blak 4 looks amazing also that case with no name is also instroke
"I said "no and there's no guns inside" "
laughed my ass off, probably harder than I should
That’s the craziest case I’ve ever seen! Not only are you a pool player but I thought you might pull a rabbit out of that case! What was that like a 25/2.0 case???
Great video!!!!
Thanks for watching. In the real world the case is a 3X5
Man damn the cues, what kind of case is that? You have like 20 cues in there. 🤣
Love seeing other people's gear!
Nice!
Do you use a pack mule or a sherpa to carry that thing around.. 🙂
Lot’s of cool cues man 🤩👍. The last case is made by Omega Billiards.
Thanks Rubster!
Your next video should be about how you can fit a dozen cues in a 3x6 case
I haven't played in a long time but I cant wait to start playing again. Can you reccomend a good beginner/ intermediate non walmart cue to look at?
I like Players for under $230 and Lucasi in the $300-$400 range. CueTec makes some good, very low priced cues in the $120 range. Even though they recently came out with a $500 CF cue, the low priced market it really their niche. Thanks for watching and please subscribe.
I have had several ikon predators. and 2 p3's I always go back to the p3. I have a ikon 2 but its gray wood. the P 3 is a Firmer hit and thicker in the butt. I feel like it helps keep the cuing straighter as the ikons feel so thin. you got a lot of stuff. I am actually liking my 314.3 more lately than my revo 12.4. guess its just what im used to.
Predator advertises that their P3 is their best performing cue. I've considered buying one, but wasn't sure if I would actually notice any difference between that one and their other top cues. Good to hear some feedback. Thanks!
Bryan enjoy your instruction, I enjoy the game,but definitely need alot of improvement.Your videos have certainly improved my game. Just wondering what predator cue stick you would suggest to me, when I can get into league play. Presently my best stick is Nick Varner an is ok. Thanks for the help!
Cues are such a personal thing it is hard for me to recommend one specific one for you. My first predator Cue was an Ikon one with the 314 shaft. That was over 10 years ago but I would probably buy the same thing today. If it’s within your budget I would get a Revo shaft but you just added $200. $200 could buy you a good deal of coaching which would be more valuable then a better shaft.
@@FXBilliards, Bryan have you tried Predator's P3 cue?
Iv got one now !
Hey Bryan love this video, but as you may remember Felix the cat cartoon as a kid I can’t help to say ‘’ just how big is your Bag of tricks” LOL
I found a used Big Beulah for $370 and was wondering if you personally would recommend this break cue over say a BK2? Great channel!
I have. used both and the BK2 is without question the best break cue I have ever had in my hand. But for most players the Big Beulah should work out just fine. In full disclosure, Predator gave me my BK2, but it is truly amazing.
What is the black shaft? I think you called it the Predator Black 4. Is it carbon? What butt would you recommend with it for a tall guy (6’3”)? I didn’t see it in the description.
The black four is the name of a Cue, the black shaft is called a predator Revo. It’s low deflection, carbon fiber. I’m about 6 foot 3 and I use a standard Cue.
I would break with my playing cue more but it has a Elk master soft tip on it
Are you sure you didn't get that case from Doctor Who? It appears to be bigger on the inside than on the outside!!
☺
What size is your revo shaft? 11.8, 12.4, or the 12.7? I'm thinking about getting one for my lucasi hybrid lh40
I use a 12.4 on both of my Revos with a victory soft tip. Thanks for watching
I wrapped my big beaulah with electric tape and made the grip thicker
I only have a players cue its a beginner cue but now I want a McDermott pool cue with the upgraded g force, low deflection stick which is $269.00
There's a Cuetec 10.5 CF shaft. Thoughts on it?
I’ve never been a fan of super small tips, and I’ve never used anything smaller than 12 mm. For starters, my hands are large, and I could never justify the need for the smaller tip, regardless
any reason to have two REVO shafts? a 12.4 and a 12.9? OR should you just pick one you like and stick with it.. BTW, they say you cannot break with the 12.4.
I can’t find a reason for two and you certainly don’t need a Revo to get good brakes. Up until about 12 years ago are used house cues and back up cues to break
@@FXBilliards I break with a 314 with excellent results.
NICE
Lol. That is quite the collection! My pool game and collection is certainly not there yet. I would like to purchase a good fingerless glove. Which brand do you recommend? And also a salesman gave me a sandpaper-like thing to occasionally wipe my shafts down. He said to remove grease and residue and such. What are your recommendations there? I have 2 pool cues that were $129.99 I like both just fine...
Sorry, also am I missing the link for the tip shaper you highly recommend??
Most products that are made for cleaning cues are going to work fine. As far as gloves go~ Kamui and Predator both make gloves that I like. Here are the links. Kamui Billiard glove amzn.to/30QBojO
Predator Second Skin Glove (Black) amzn.to/3axQ1fr. Thanks for watching.
Here is the tip shaper: amzn.to/3taaXlt
@@FXBilliards Thank you!!
Sir what is best brand cue . A cheap only. Thanks
Ambot, Email me at fxbillards@gmail.com and tell me what price range you are looking in. Put Pool Cue in the subject line. Thanks for watching the channel
one question. with the new editions of poison cues, i know that they are designed by predator but can i use a predator revo shaft on an arsenic butt???
The standard Predator connection won’t fit the poison cue but you can buy a Revo with a poison connection. They make them to fit all different types of cues. Thanks for watching.
@@FXBilliards thanks much.
How many cues can you pull out of your case? Is it a 20 x 40 case super slim?
It’s a magic trick - the case holds three butts and five shafts
This is like those late night infomercials: ‘But wait, there’s more”
LOL. Thanks for watching
The black 4 has a sport rubber grip. It hasn’t worn out?
My Blak 4 is Gen 2 and the grip is not rubber. The wrap is Leather Luxe - Iv never seen a rubber grip on any of the Blaks, only the Leather Luxe - Also there is never any wear on my grips because I tend to hold the cue at the end of the butt, and off of the grip. I have never replaced a grip on a cue. I do have a lucasi BB that has a rubber grip and the grip is worn but the cue is 15 years old. The only reason it has any aging to it is because the grip goes down lower on the butt like a Predator Sport 2. I dont use the Lucasi any more. It's the break cue in my backup bag now. So I will not be replacing the grip. Thanks for watching. .
The Blak 4 that is listed right now shows “sport” for wrap.
Here is the link to the cue 4-4 on predator's site. www.predatorcues.com/usa/products/pool-cues/blak4-pool-cues.html Here is the link to blak for gen. 2 www.predatorcues.com/usa/products/pool-cues/retired-pool-cues.html
What size is your cue tip Bryan please i need to know
I used 12.4 and 12.7 tips.
Maaan, how come you bring out all those shafts and butts from one single case! Is your case a black hole or something?🤣
By the way, really amazing video to watch for any pool lover
Just good editing. That case holds 3 butts and 5 shafts.
Why don't you always play with the Predator 4? You only use it in matches. What can happen to the shaft?
I use the shaft every day and I practice with the Cue- probably twice a week. I put in about 15 hours a week so I don’t like the idea of accidentally bumping the cue on the edge of the table or something like that So I usually grab the ikon which feels pretty much the same. Thanks for watching.
@@FXBilliards Ah, ok. I only own one playing queue and I’m very careful not to touch anything with it. Changed my ‚normal‘ body moves when I walk with it around the table so I turn with the least danger to touch anything. Like Position play 🙂
What predator cue,would you suggest for improving your game for under a grand. Because of covid,purchased Hamilton table by Presidential with table top,an shoot 5xa week,looking forward to league play. Enjoy your instruction! Be safe.
Seeing videos like this makes me wanna make a video of my stuff but I wouldn’t get more than a few views lol
I Dont know if Denzel washington can play pool very well...and also has a lot of cue collections as well
I keep telling my wife that I look like Zel but she is not buying it.
@@FXBilliards hahaha you do look like him somehow 😁
What ounce is your play cue and break cue?
All of my cues are set at 19 ounces. Thanks for watching
How many cues can you fit in your case
The reality is -that case holds three butts and five shafts
Really Brian, no sneaky Pete !
How bugs that case?!
Doom
I have a McDermott cue and extra shaft, plus an inexpensive break cue in my case. I don't use a jump cue because I do better kicking. A number of Filipinos play in the same tournaments as I do and not one of them uses a jump cue. The damned things take away from the game.
i thought masse cue is need hardtip not a soft tip
It’s a much wider tip and softer to get more grip on the ball
How many cues will that case hold lol who are you hoodini?
Without Magic, the case holds 5 shafts and 3 butts.
Jesus. I didn't think you would stop pulling shit out if the bag!!!
Movie magic LOL Thanks for watching Jesse. Please subscribe
I just over here wondering what case that is... I'll bet it weights a million pounds
The cases made by instroke. I’m sure I’m sure I’m spelling the name wrong. In reality the case only holds 3 shafts.
Brian ive been playing just over a year now in my apa leagues im a level 2 in both 8 and 9 ball. If you have time can you please check out my videos and offer any help? I'm tired of being a 2, any help GREATLY APPRECIATED. Of all my videos I watch I think your the best.
That case don’t look that big lol
