has to be what they using as a cleaner, probably way too much solution. D'sphere's have had nothing but A+ reviews as far as staying clean.

Could be. They tend to get a lot of use, as people want to use the same balls they use in tournaments here, and as a result, they get used and cleaned more often than the Duramith balls (they get cleaned after every use). I quite like my platinums, but since the hall upgraded, they haven't got much use. The set I have has a more off-white colour to the white sections. Red box. I dislike the colour of the white box Japanese version used at the other main American tabled hall franchise in the city, but like the light blue dot cueball (I swapped out one of my cueballs for this blue dot one, but it's whiter than the off-white of the red box set). The hall I play at uses a white box version that is the same colour palette as my set, but not off-white.

They're all balls at the end of the day, as long as they're clean, round and the right colour...

Well, whoever you are, you write well...perhaps a bit of overuse of a thesaurus, but well.

There was a time when I was missing 8 balls, yet I wasn't feeling pressure. Shrug .
My review and analysis of what was different about the game ball that I had missed, led me to an answer. Since it was the last ball, I was not planning whitey's final resting spot to the same level as all the other shots. Even when a scratch wasn't probable, I needed to plan the cueball path and resting point to the same level as all the other shots. It helped me.

It's not just the eight ball, any shot that causes doubt, fear, what ever you want to call it, reading the book "The inner game of tennis " changed the way I approach the way I play pool, the book is really about how your mind works when performing a physical skill and how to make it easier to learn new one's, I don't care what physical skill you want to learn this book will help.

Sorry I thought your question was “Who am I” and I was taking a guess

its a she, and most likely then one we know who posts rarely but tries to be eloquent.

I don't try, it is authentic. To be clear. If you know any of the people who chatted with me in Jimbo's Army could probably tell. They would say get out your dictionary tizzle is here. They wanted to see a typing competition between me and JAM. I would need a huge spot lol. I can clock the speed based on the type of work she does. Another clue.

Alive, vibrant and rearing to go. Perhaps to the next Expo.

TTT

Are you still alive?

Well I did not think that ivory on a 1920s cue would be banned- is there not a pre- ban period for items- or, in certain states, is any ivory considered banned from commerce?

Yes, but I think it can be seized for verification if without documentation. I had a Tascarella held up at customs. I had it with the paperwork he had to provide provenance and age.

There are all kinds of people on here who go to cuemakers shops regularly and can 100% say if they're using ivory or not

I've been in Mottey's shop, Dennis Searing's shop and Gentry's shop. I didn't see any. I also was more fascinated with the machinery. I had a lot of cues.

Roger that, thanks.

I know it seems like a stupid thing to ask, but I've watched a few youtubes where they could rock it back and forth, and that just didn't seem right.
Thank you everyone.

He hasn't used it for quite a while (I think since the mid 2010s)

Mine was made in 2014.

I haven't ever talked to him about it. I'll have to ask next time I see him.

I'd be a little surprised if he wouldn't do it for a local FL guy, but you just don't know these days...

So I'm guessing it's a comparison with what we're already familiar with (i.e., "feels heavier, so it's rear balanced")?

If you’re talking about Facebook . All scammers and people knows me. I bust them scammers and banned them out of 50+ cue grp

Obviously the norm would be behind and nearer or farther. One thing that might initially matter is the grip's proximity to the center of mass. The bridge pivot being the constant, closer to the weight could provide lateral stability. Farther away could allow more leverage for errant lateral input in front and/or naturally balanced cues.
This is probably reversed in weight bolt cues.

So I'm guessing it's a comparison with what we're already familiar with (i.e., "feels heavier in the back hand than before, so it's rear balanced" - "feels heavier in the bridge hand than before, so it's front balanced")?
