This means little in the way of dismissing CBL. I look at the OB too if I have no other concerns.

So in other words even though they are looking OBL it still means they are looking CBL???? That's interesting. I don't think anyone is "dismissing" CBL, its common when breaking and also when shooting frozen rail shots or while jacked up over a very close ball, during shots like that the ball strike is our focus because when must get a clean hit, during shots where access to the cue ball is unlimited our key focus is where the cue ball is going because it is easier to get a clean hit. I think it boils down to whichever task is more difficult is the point we must focus the most attention on.

Crown Cue made by Gene Viness $600

E
This cue is probably the last cue Gene made. It survived a Tornado that destroyed his shop, only because this was in his house. I purchased from the gentleman that ordered it special. Some say it was meant to be a Masse Cue


The cue is 53" long total length even split. With the shaft measuring at 13mm with and ivorine 3 ferrule and triangle tip.
The joint pin is 5/16-14 into a brass insert
The forearm is maple Burl with a kingwood collar and handle
The butt sleeve is maple Burl Butt Sleeve
The original weight of this cue is @17 oz
The cue is signed by Gene Viness and comes with a letter of Authenticity

Un played,


This cue is drilled and threaded for a 1/2-13 thread weight bolt or an extension , however there is no weight bolt in it

I'm looking to get $600 shipped pay pal friends and family

I wouldn’t use basketball, darts, or any other sports that don’t involve striking a ball or target with a type of club for comparison. I’m specifically speaking of sports that use a club to strike a ball.

With Darts, basketball, etc you already have the object in your hand and you’re not using another object to strike it. The target focus is completely different which separates it from sports that require striking an object.

To send an object to a distance with pinpoint accuracy we must focus on the target. in pool I think the target is the object ball. We can accurately strike a cue ball eyes closed if we line up on it eyes open. Not so when golfing or batting, you need pinpoint accuracy for the ball strike but are satisfied with a general area for the ball target. I guess you have to decide which is the target, tip to cue ball contact or object ball cue ball contact. I dunno, it just seems to me that your focus has to be on what is the key part of the activity, in pool for me the key part is the object ball contact, I think there is enough footage of the guys that earn a living at this game to conclude they do the same. For me and golf I am happy to put the ball somewhere green and in front of me. 😂

If you are not perfectly aligned looking only at the Cue ball Last
You do not allow your subconscious to make micro corrections to deliver the cueball to the Target
like you could if you were focusing on the object ball contact point or whatever target last

That's just reversing the polarity of the method. The positives to negatives.
