good
i want the incoming playing to not be able to run out, make 5 balls and give over control of the table

works like a charm
and people rush to hand over control 9/10

You have no faith in yourself to run out?

My favorite line in The Hustler has always been when Fats tells Eddie to shoot pool, and Eddie says, "I'm shootin' pool Fats. When I miss you can shoot."

These will be super hard to find...they didn't make enough.

Played on a table last week with CPBA cloth and its the fastest cloth I have ever played on.

Which 'model' was it? (not sure if model is the right word for cloth) - I've played on a few different colors and 'models' of theirs. Only one I didn't like was bright pink, pretty sure it burned my retinas reflecting the light lol

This thread made me check on my Mezz Kai break cue. Wow, never realized the butt weights 16oz! Took of the weight bolt (1.5oz) and now can't wait to put the lighter break cue to the test at the table, with some break speed analysis included. Now the cue weights 18.3oz approximately. Thank you for the reminder!

16oz with or without the bolt? Assume with? I will also measure the weight of the cue with Ignite G shaft attached. Both days I have meant to, but I have gotten side-tracked by actually playing. We can compare notes haha

I can say from a subjective feeling perspective, that I am having a better hit, but I would also be interested in a side by side analysis of the cue performance with and without weight. Thinking simple (as my small brain does), 5 attempts each at max power - Measuring speed. Then 5 attempts each trying to break as If I were in a game, recording the produced layouts. Hope I have enough time in the weekend to do that.

i've read this correction before but always forget it. i don't see any use for a slip stroke of this definition whatsoever

I don't see a need for a special or sequential distinction. They can be defined in as much detail as your publisher wants but there are only two of 'em. The first one is well known and the new one is a toss stroke that has to be caught - technically a slip.

Here's the logic as offered by KPY:
Once you let go of the stick it has to travel in a straight line.
