These info cards are absolutely beautiful Rubik, and are a wealth of knowledge for such a niche hobby.

He's a smart man here. Probably helped so many but only gets credit for two answers.

Would be nice to allow the cue cases as carry ons to avoid this happening. But, it's unlikely to change, because the cabins are nowadays already full of small trolleys as airlines charge extra for checked in luggage.

That and you might beat someone to death with the butt end of it lol

Thanks for addressing multiple questions. Although each question was posed as open ended, I secretly wanted people to note aspects like slip stroke, as you have, the difference between wrap location and balance point, or the correlation between grip location and conventional vs low deflection shafts.

I think the wrap is slightly higher up due to it being a cue manufactured in Asia, but I cannot say for definite if this is a trend. My hand sits generally on the ring beneath the wrap. The wrap itself, is more of a marker than a grip. As for balance, I am not sure exactly, but due to the low weight of the KW shaft, and added mini-extension, it is back weighted to some extent.
Break cue has had all weight removed, and I would say is more forward weighted.

The responses have NOT been similar to player opinions at the local pool hall.

Some good material to ponder then

the rule is subjective (it shouldnt be) and says break should be "forceful". if you ask the players they all know when someone is soft breaking. one way to see is that his cue ball almost never reaches the other side rail. also the two object balls in second last row of the diamond have very little movement. ref should have warned him in FSR match, and in the final too he broke soft.

He’s like 99 lbs. dripping wet, that’s a forceful break for him.

Spent a lot of time yesterday just working on different shots and racked up six 9 ball racks, after a little work on the tip. Ball in hand after the break. Really am enjoying the cue. Not saying it wouldn't have been possible with three or four other cues, lol, but they weren't at the table ----- one seven balls and then out, and one six balls and then . . . missed the world's easiest shot on the 9 (I'm ready for the Mosconi Cup ). For me, that's really good and no doubt I'm biased by using it a lot, and getting used to it, but it's a darn good cue. I got the weight kit and what the heck, I'm going to do a little experimenting with it here in a little bit - might as well understand how it works and whether I like a different feel.

What shaft did you get? By the way, the weight kit is super easy to use

Reminds me of the instructions on a bottle of bleach: "Don't drink"

At least on a bleach bottle you do not have to worry about a second attempt.

Thanks for the advice!!!!!!
Just played a set today and was using "less" spin. Got much more accurate, making much more pots with the object balls but what really surprised me is the positions, english was kept to a minimum. I could concentrate more on making the shots rather than trying to power them in. I am not that good (APA 5) but managed 2 break and run-outs on a 9 foot table. I have not had any when playing with him on a 12 game match. I am really starting to like this Becue Prime II shaft!

I'm only doing what Hawaiian Eye did for me, I believe the time Becue spent in R&D is the real difference, my cue has helped my game immensely by being a consistent reliable tool, that's what a cue is to me, every time I learn something new I can rely on my cue to deliver the same results as long as I do.....

Rusty I've got cloth for you. Tell me how much you need and double it incase you make a mistake. Message me your address. It's green if that is ok.

And if this doesn't work out, I've got blue.

Just had a chance to listen to this. A lot of times I put something on and it just becomes background static that I use to help me focus; passive vs active. I could not passively listen to this and focus on shooting pool. Ended up having to sit down and get my polishing rag, while actively listen to this gem of an interview.

I do wish that we would have learned what AccuStats match specifically featured the 1st commentary with Billy and Bobby sitting “on the rail,” and if it could be viewed. Guess it’s a reason to listen to those Incardona interviews again.

Thanks so much for the living history lesson and preservation. Keep up the good work and shoot straight.

Well it`s been a great long run selling these milk dud tips for the past 15 or so yrs, but my wife has breast cancer and my 90 yr old father is having some health issues, so its time to close this chapter in my life. You`ll still see me at the SBE show ever year barring any health issues that my family members may have. I would like to say a big thank to everyone that I have met and made friends with over this long run here on azb. I will not be selling or making any more milk dud tips going forward. I may in the future be selling my tip presses that I made and used during my tip process, but that will be done at a later date and time. Thanks again for this great ride
Take care
Jeff

The rules for one pocket say explicitly that the only foul for which the pocketed opponent's ball comes back onto the table is pocketing the cue ball. If some other foul is committed, you keep the ball.

Also.... In a lot of modern tournaments, you are not allowed to drive the cue ball off the table for the foul. It's too dangerous and/or unseemly.

Here is the pertinent wording from the WPA version of the rules of one pocket:

Each ball legally pocketed in one of the foot pockets counts one point for the corresponding player. In addition, balls pocketed in the opponent’s pocket on a foul shot count for the opponent and are not spotted under 10.6 below unless the only foul committed is that the cue-ball is also pocketed.

Thank you
