1) for exactly the same reason a CB with inside english speeds up (= gains energy).
2) probably, there is a gearing side spin amount so that the edge of CB is moving at exactly the speed of the cloth on the rail as it hits.

Outside english can be either running or reverse when it gets to a cushion.

1)why would the cue ball lose energy because of outside english?

You also have to know how to pull a torque wrench. If you pull a quality wrench the same way every time, you'll get consistent results, but if your technique is flawed, you won't get the torque the wrench is set to.

I wouldn't recommend a $20 Harbor Freight torque wrench. I've seen their style wrenches click off with ZERO fastener rotation. It's called Side Load Error. Besides that, if a $20 wrench repeats the same as a $150 or $200 wrench. Why wouldn't assembly plants switch to Harbor Freight tools?

Just because the wrench clicks off is no guarantee that fastener is torqued to spec. And that's true even when using High End wrenches.

The main wrench I use and acquired through my past career cost around $7K. No need for that on rail bolts. Just demonstrating there's a very wide spread between China quality/reliability and true quality torque measuring devices.

I'd recommend spending at least $100 on a wrench and watching YouTube vids from well known torque wrench manufacturers on how to properly pull a wrench. Be sure that the click came when the bolt was moving.

If that didn't happen? In other words, you came back for another stroke and the wrench clicked off before any bolt movement?? Slightly back off that bolt, then move it forward till you get a click.

Torque is measured while the fastener is moving.

Gotta stop or I'll be writing a book on a forum.

What happened to the dress code at the DCC? Folks looked like a bunch of bums. I am tired of T shirts...especially black. I guess the black is ok because it doesn't show the dirt after wearing it for a week.

I see your point Jay, and of course you are much better informed than I could ever hope to be.

In my experience, I found 10ft much more comfortable. Maybe it is snooker background? Maybe it is a result of the type of 9ft tables I play on? Maybe there is an optimum playing surface area for difficulty of rotation games?

back to the point of the thread, I enjoy watching it, I wouldn't pay for it though.

I don’t know about his collection but I think that it is a changing market for such cues. The target market for these cues is aging out for one. Also, the ability to resell down the road is becoming more questionable - at least from a financial investment standpoint.

The money that such cues were exchanging hands 20 years ago and even longer is actually more money than most are sold for today in comparative real value dollars.

In 1992 a former room owner that I knew sold his GB cue for $5,000 - That cue would never sell for today’s 1992 equivalent of $5,000. If it did - it would be break even at best.
