What's In The Bag For 2023

[@PoolAddiction]

Sorry I couldn't do a premiere with everyone. I know a few have been wanting me to put this out for a while now and here it is. Thank you as always for your support!

[@PoolAddiction]

@zanethind It's an SP2. I thought the wood started with T but I don't think it is after all, I found it on their site and it's stained maple.

[@joshsomebody832]

How would you describe the hit of the Nitti? Is the butt fat or normal?

[@PoolAddiction]

@@joshsomebody832 the hit feels more or less comes from the shaft, but the cue butt has a lot to do with the balance which effects how the cue feels in your hands in your stroke while shooting and it feels real solid. Some like cue that's perectly balance to where you don't feel the cue at all in your hands, for me though, I like something that's close to that but is ever so slightly forward balanced so the weight follows through the shot. A lot of production cue are more rear balanced due to the weight bolts being in the butt of the cue. I guess when I think about it though, the balance does make the hit feel a certain way and I'd say I like the feel. As far as the thickness, I forget the measurement but it's thicker than a Predator but it's not really thick. It has a really nice taper which makes it feel right.

Nice Video again. 👍🏻 Beautiful playing cue. Hope you're doing well. Best regards from germany

[@PoolAddiction]

Thank you! Nitti cues are nice. I have tried others but I still like the Nitti the most. Happy New Year my friend!

I am thinking about getting the 3 Seconds glove. I notice it has five fingers versus the typical 3 fingers. I also like how the wrist isn't too high, so you don't have to take your watch off.

[@PoolAddiction]

It's pretty nice just runs a little small.

[@ikharl328]

Review on your NITTIs please!!!

[@PoolAddiction]

I’ll see what I can do but I will say this. Best cue I’ve played with in the last 15 years. I own or have owned 3, I have 2 of them still.

[@ikharl328]

Not much reviews on his cue. Do what made u go custom and why Nitti cue

[@PoolAddiction]

@@ikharl328 I bought a used Nitti a long time ago and just loved it. I heard good things and it was a good deal. So glad I did it. I've tried many different cue makers but I keep going back to my Nitti.

[@leannlover72]

I was wondering could you possibly do a review of the rhino cf shaft? Oh just tell me what you think if you're played with one. Ty

[@PoolAddiction]

I will see what I can do. I have seen the ads for them.

[@leannlover72]

@PoolAddiction ty. I just bought one. Haven't tried it. Never ever used a cf shaft before so I won't know if it is good or not

[@nav8973]

how do you clean and maintain kielwood shaft?

[@PoolAddiction]

I mostly wipe it down with my towel when I am finished for the night for regular cleaning. The finish of the Hsunami isn't as porous as a regular maple shaft so it doesn't get as dirty like a regular shaft does. I have used some cleaners after it started feeling a little grimy and I used regular cleaners that you would use on a regular shaft. It did the trick but the paper towel had a light stain from the shaft in the color of the kielwood. The shaft looked ok but since then, I use a damp paper towel and then put a coat or two of shaft wax.

[@SRKanai1]

I'm purposefully waiting until I see your review on the McDermott Defy to buy one. I WILL make it. If It kills me, I will make it. 😄

[@PoolAddiction]

It's coming, I am working on it, I promise. The one doing though is the first gen version since that was the only one I could my hands on. I going to try and explain the supposed differences in the generations in the video. Thank you so much for your patience.

[@SRKanai1]

@@PoolAddiction ???? So....the Defy......????

[@PoolAddiction]

I am so sorry, I had to refilm almost all the video. I plan to explain why in the video. I am down to filming my final thoughts (again) and it should be done.

[@nokiaphone113]

I thought you still use the cynergy 😂

[@PoolAddiction]

I did for a while after I bought it and did the review. I like it but I like the Hsunami more.

[@jorglenzen4927]

Hello my friend. Hope you're doing well. Will there be new videos in 2025 ? A merry christmas to you and your family. Best wishes from Germany.

[@PoolAddiction]

Hey! Hope all is well! I have been sitting on finishing up a review that quite honestly has demoralized me to the point that I have been reluctant to finish it. I have also been really busy with some other work not associated with the channel and it has been eating up a lot of my free time. All that said, I plan to continue making videos; I just don't know how many I can do. As always, thank you for the support you have given me, and Merry Christmas!

[@SRKanai1]

Does anybody recognize that rack?

[@PoolAddiction]

It's the V Rack. They are not cheap but are nice. Here is the link. www.thevrack.com/

[@SRKanai1]

@@PoolAddiction Nice. Thank you, brother.

[@BMWLDRider]

I'm speechless....SMH

[@PoolAddiction]

Sorry you didn’t like it.

Me too.@@PoolAddiction

[@ikharl328]

Really wanted to get a Nitti but I’m still on the 1yr list. I do have an Elliott

[@PoolAddiction]

@@ikharl328 I heard Elliott's cues are very similar to Nitti's mainly because he worked for him in the past. Ever since Nitti won cue maker of the year, the demand for his cues have skyrocketed as well as their values. I bought my current playing cue about 8 years ago and I can easily sell it for about $300 more than what I paid for it in it's current condition (it's a daily player and has the wear to show it). I still have the first Nitti that I bought over 15 years ago. It is a 4 point cocobolo and birdseye maple with his ringwork and leather wrap. I bought it used and I can easily sell it for about $500 more than what I paid for it. His cue are popular for a reason, they play awesome.
