…I only had 2 days to prepare…The next day I drove to the room the match would be played at. I was hiding because I didn't want my opponent to see me play before the match…
…I stayed there until about 1am, loosening rail bolts and the spot was worn so I replaced it and offset by a half inch.

What?!? That’s cold!

Good job. I don’t understand though. All the random Tuesday night practice matches that you’ve recorded, but when you play a set for big bucks that people would really want to see?

A question in general or for MikeMosconi. The last couple of days, I have been doing a small cue inventory. Tomorrow, time permitting, I will bring the ones up from the dungeon. I have 2 Dale Perry cues. One that I bought, and another, a gift from my then wife.
Both DP cues are very well made and pretty decent players, no complaints, specially for the price that I likely paid. Have to apologize, I had a brain op in 2001 and my memory isn't as good as what it used to be. So, pre 2001 and here and there after, not so good at recall on certain things. I am going to say, I may have bought mine directly from Dale's site, as I remember many other pictures of his set up, lathes, wood stock, finished cues for sale. So, a Pre 99 will have both a signature and a 1/1 on it, am I correct. Pretty sure that mine are not that old, and likely just cruised around Dale's site a bit to look.

I have used Tomahawk and Hydex a lot and I haven't seen these materials melt or create a "diamond" shape like I often see on Cynergy ferrules or the old Taom break tips. That said it's nothing wrong with using Juma or Elforyn either, they are tried and true. I don't have the numbers in front of me, but from lightest to heaviest I think the correct ranking is:
- Tomahawk
- Elforyn
- Hydex
- Juma
But the weight difference is very small, so as a player I honestly wouldn't worry about it at all.

67 attempts good job DD. thx for the vid.

There you go again. Spinning the ball had everything to do with the foul. Good enough to make the 8, not good enough to clear the 4. (annoying huh)

I watched the Yapp shot again and he does go parallel past the right facing. Dr Dave (I should check Pubo's placement too) managed to spin the 8 all the way to the left side of the pocket. More eng, maybe.

ANYWAY, With CPG you can play the line to give you the best chance at clearing the 4 - in this case, off the right tit.


and lol...

did you consider that yapp as a pro realized if he cleared the 4 the 8 would be hit fat and he had to turn the 8 with spin
also this has nothing to do with question in the post that i responded to

enjoyed this one doctor
thanks

Split hits Always go to the shooter.

I wouldn't be upset if there was a rule that prohibited chalk being placed on the table at all.

i think in 3 cushion billiards it is conventional etiquette to take your chalk with you as you leave the table after your inning
