Professional Series Large Bore Cue Lathe​

You can build cues on this lathe. Only thing you would probably not do is shafts because I don't know if they make taper bars for this. But with the right attachments you can make multi point cues on this.

I make shafts on mine. Harder to do for sure, but it is possible. I believe the new owner is working on a tapering system for it.

Jay Swanson. Stephen Lee and Shaun Murphy from snooker. Maybe there's a connection between eating lots of butter and stroke like butter..?

New 1P Rules For The Derby City Classic

There's a problem where one player can control where balls end up. To have a wedge it takes TWO willing participants to want the same situation. I'm not saying balls don't got up table but rather getting into a wedge is a different scenario. Bob Jewett mentioned a a "grace period" and use of the "Grady Rule" if needed. Both are reasonable options if some pre-established time period elapsed for the players to play the game before other measures were put in place.

Why allow a wedge anyway? Is it pool or tugga waw? (Indian game) Since it's DCC, breakout the doubling cubes, stiffen the up table rules, make it 2 outta 3 with the look of high stakes - chips, wads , whatever. If they wanna play the old fashioned "man's" way, do it in the action rooms.

Hard to define 'nicer' imo. Both were effective under major heat. Buddy's may be tad more pleasing to watch but both of them worked and that's what matters. While on this topic go look at Yvgeny Stalev play, this cat has the most flowing, effortless yet stupidly powerful stoke. I watched him play at Derby City and i was amazed. I could watch this guy hit balls for hours.

I’ve played Evgeny, video doesn’t do him justice. I’m pretty smooth, he flows like water.
His stroke is on another level to anyone who’s ever held a cue. One stroke two stroke and he releases like butter.
I use a 21oz cue, his is like 25oz. I hit with it a few times. It’s like a Louisville slugger pool cue.
He’s a good dude.
He is the perfect example of controlling the mass and letting the cue do the work.
Effortlessly

Buddy Hall vs Steve Mizerak, who had the nicer stroke?

MTfish
I'm a fan of both and was lucky enough to see both play in person a few times. Both players strokes were fantastic and looked even better in person than they do on video. I'd say that's true of most great players and why I always encourage people to take in a pro event if they get the chance. Buddy's stroke was a bit more compact and maybe precise, and he did have that deadly slow rhythm. The Miz had a longer stroke that seemed to be more powerful. They both got through the ball great, but the Miz came through the ball like a freight train. Buddy may have been my favorite player, but Mizerak's stoke was more intimidating, at least to me. The first ball I saw him hit, I knew I was watching something special and this was late in his career (mid-90's, a little earlier than the match in posted). Buddy actually won that tournament where I saw the Miz play for the first time. I'd have to give the Miz a slight nod for the "better" stroke. They were both big men that had incredible grace at the table.
