Video as a tool.

I had a friend do a video years ago when I was playing like crap and I went home and watched it over and over. All it was was being a lazy slop and didn't take long to figure it out.
Force yourself to stay down on the CB as you pop it. This was one of the miracles of CBL for me. I even backwards engineered the theory from it. (I don't actually remember but it's gotta be 50/50 right?Tough nuts to crack.
Guys I think we finally figured it out...
Chalk-side-down FOR SAFETY!
Efren's always been 99 steps ahead
That’s all bar room chalk grinding to create the state it is in. You can see the same on the triangles. Once people burrow into the chalk the tip soon gets that curvey radius.The tip on the left has a proper nickel radius, the one on the right doesn't, looks just like the one I did by "eye" after using the proper tool and returning the tip to a nickel radius the difference in play was dramatic, I now use a Willard's nickel radius tool about every 6 weeks to verify proper radius, if your shaft radius is 10mm or less the dime is the one to go with but the tip is too round in the picture, I didn't believe it till I tried it myself, I was able to hit the cueball lower with the proper radius, see Dr. Dave's video on this.
Try frozen to the rail with minimal angle with lots of english. The stuff you wanna bunt but gotta move the ball around.I can now say without reservation that video of one's play is an important diagnostic tool and for any player who hasn't done this yet, I highly recommend it.
Being a stubborn jackass,
always thot I was a Cueball last player. Video of me says otherwise. Right B4 I pull the trigger, my eyes veer up to the object ball. All these years....
Just goes to show you. Only tool here is M'wah..![]()
Hey Chris Thanks, The insert is brass. Had to go back and look but when i got the shaft it was a 5/16x14 and i tapped it to 18 to use on a Meucci Original. So it had to be a cuemaker that used 5/16x14 none pilot with a small diameter joint .822 diameter.What is the insert made out of?
If it's a real totem. Looks more like he and/or buyer can just point to stuff like a menu.i think the design falls in the category totempole. very much not my cup of tea. a friend bought one and i had to bite my lip when he showed and explained each part of the butt
