Hello,
I'm Alton.
I used to make Cue Caps. Now, I'm into watching the LA Dodgers and Shohei Ohtani. LOL
Note: This is not my Cue.
It belongs ( or, used to belong to) to a friend that is not into using Computers and visiting Social Media.
But, I did feel that Pool Cue Enthusiast here would like to see Gus Szamboti's Personal 8 Point Cue that he used at home and took to the Pool Rooms.
This is not Gus' Cue that he kept/left at Tony C.'s Home.
Below that, is Barry's "TRUBUTE TO MY DAD" Cue.
Portraits of Gus and Barry were done by Scrimshaw Artist Bob Hergert from Oregon.
Hi Will
Hi Matt
Hi Eric
Hi Jamie
Hi Steppo
Hi BBB
Hi to all of the Old Time Friends
Hi to all
Hi Kenny Tran

Except obese. See how well they do in the 350 + weight class. I don't think they'd even cash in a beer gut contest.

For those of you who are left eye dominant and play right handed…read on. There is hope.

I’ll start with “WHY”. My Fargo rating has dropped from 603 to 587 in the past year despite my exhaustive increase in practicing. I recently met with an eye doctor and explained that the balls look dark and blurry at the other end of the table. I said I want to be able to see like a could 30 years ago. After checking everything out, he said, it’s not your eyes.
So I started researching “AIMING” Thinking it has to be an aiming problem. I landed on the topic of eye dominance which led me to “center vision” topic, and I realized that I am left eye dominant and I play right handed…so I suspected that I was not putting my eyes over the cue correctly.

Now that I have corrected my stance, I can see the balls clear and I now have “tone” when I’m down on a shot. It’s a lock. I’m back! Haven’t had that in years.

The problem: I find that it’s very awkward to get my head over the cue correctly, it feels like I have to stretch my neck uncomfortably to get my head across the cue, and I can feel it pulling on muscles in my neck and on my right side of my abdomen. I see why I “default” to bad posture/head eye alignment because it’s so uncomfortable to get in correct position. I can see that I’m going to have to make conscious effort to check myself on every shot that I’m in alignment…so I needed to somehow work it into my pre-shot routine to try to remind myself, so I have named the chalk “left handed chalk”.

Now, before every shot, I grab some left handed chalk, and the chalk reminds me of my need for alignment, this also means that I now chalk before EVERY shot. WIN-WIN.

I feel like being left eye dominant and playing right handed is a disadvantage, It’s an un-natural posture. I haven’t had “tone” on cut shots it seems, for years. It feels great to be able to see the balls again. If this can help someone struggling with the same thing, then it was worth posting. Just grab you some left-handed chalk and it’s a lock!

Credit to AZ community for threads helping me find “center vision” …something I didn’t even know existed!

Had this spread earlier today. The CB is almost on the rail and it would extremely difficult to try and use inside english to hold the 1B for the corner next to it. Plus the 8B blocks the far corner.

How do you posters play this?
