Gloves

Just wondering what the latest consensus is on the bestest, thinest, not really there glove.

I ask because the pool room I play at has relocated next to a lake and there's a high level humidity. Normally, I've always been able to go "bare back" but current circumstances have me reconsidering.

A few years ago I tried a Molinaria and hated it. Don't care about getting a dozen for $2... just want the best. What sayz you?

The shortstop on pool has two videos on gloves. In the latest, I think he recommends the coda glove. I haven't tried it. I have tried Cuetec (the thumb is too short), and a version of the 3 seconds glove which many players are using or have used (Yapp and Gorst). I don't love the 3 seconds glove. The "grip" on the heel of the palm is really grippy. Not for me. It is all the rage right now.

I am going to try the TAOM next, but I think that will be too close to the Molinari for you, just my 0.02.

Personally, I hate short thumbs so much, I am considering going back to the old-school gloves that cover the entire finger.

Straight arm or no straight arm?

I'm only 52, but when I had the orthoscopic surgery on my right shoulder when I was 25, the surgeon said I had the arthritis of a 60 year old. I promise you I hurt at 52. I hurt at rest while on vicodin. Now the surgeon is saying that if I don't get replacement surgery on my right shoulder soon, it might not be fixable. The arthritis in my right shoulder now is ridiculously bad.

Don't judge pain solely on age. With my right shoulder though it is just pain (well and instability). My left shoulder I had no rotator cuff movement at all, my shoulder would only move by raising and lowering my shoulder blade. Before I couldn't play jump shots at all. Now I jump like a mad man. So I can't wait to see what happens when I have both shoulders in working order.
Solely, no...and as you shared, n+0 feels better than n+10 for us.

TAD-1-T-WH Tigerwood Big Pin is Rare (picture)

The cue was left in a case for a very long time by the previous owner. The results is ink tranfer into the white material.
Fred maybe able to sand away the stained material, don't know for a while as it is in his backlog. I don't know what is the
white material my guess is micarta.
The white material is Juma. Try cleaning it with a magic eraser. Is the ink transfer was surface level only? A magic eraser might get it out without damaging the finish of the cue. This method has worked a few times when the stain was light and surface level only. If the stain is deeper, then a refinish is the only way to get it out.

Yes, Tigerwood is rare, but not for the reason you think it is. Tad liked Tigerwood, but was actually slightly allergic to it in dust form which is why he made so few.

Nice old vintage

I used to play in Calvin Coker's 8-ball league over 15 years ago that he used to run at Diamond Billiards in Brea, CA. I had no idea that he had this TAD, he never brought it to league. When I played in his 8-ball league, I usually only brought a TAD1M or TAD8. I have the same cue in my collection. It is a fantastic cue and definitely rare for that design. Your cue has a nice provenance.
