Just kinda a so-so Archer fan, like the way Oscar and Ernesto have behaved over the years. not too sure about Ernesto forfeiting to Oscar over the years. They could have done it without being open about it so there is at least that! Anyway, moving on!

why? this is more honest. ernesto doesn't want to win over oscar. the ko brothers play it out but split anyway. a final between them two is just make believe

So in other words even though they are looking OBL it still means they are looking CBL???? That's interesting. I don't think anyone is "dismissing" CBL, its common when breaking and also when shooting frozen rail shots or while jacked up over a very close ball, during shots like that the ball strike is our focus because when must get a clean hit, during shots where access to the cue ball is unlimited our key focus is where the cue ball is going because it is easier to get a clean hit. I think it boils down to whichever task is more difficult is the point we must focus the most attention on.

No I'm not claiming anything about other player's motivations. Just that CBL works period.

I have my own personal opinion about this. I think everybody is looking at both. Or at least most people. I mean you’re looking at the object ball past the cube ball. Some people may be focusing more on one than the other, but you’re still looking at both.

Absolutely. I know that I focus more on the cue ball until my backstroke and the pause on my backstroke where my focus shifts to the object ball.

To send an object to a distance with pinpoint accuracy we must focus on the target. in pool I think the target is the object ball. We can accurately strike a cue ball eyes closed if we line up on it eyes open. Not so when golfing or batting, you need pinpoint accuracy for the ball strike but are satisfied with a general area for the ball target. I guess you have to decide which is the target, tip to cue ball contact or object ball cue ball contact. I dunno, it just seems to me that your focus has to be on what is the key part of the activity, in pool for me the key part is the object ball contact, I think there is enough footage of the guys that earn a living at this game to conclude they do the same. For me and golf I am happy to put the ball somewhere green and in front of me.

I have a part in my PSR that entails rehearsing the shot as it lays, in mid air. Simply air shoot the shot right over the cue ball. You can test not just the speed but all the other dynamics as well. Yes, english, throw, CIT, SIT, anything else that might concern you on any given shot.

Anybody with a cue lathe wants 1k for a plain 4 point 4 veneer cue now

I miss the good old days when a grand was grand! Now it's the new 20 dollar bill.

This means little in the way of dismissing CBL. I look at the OB too if I have no other concerns.

lol I like you but you get so thick sometimes.

This cue is probably the last cue Gene made. It survived a Tornado that destroyed his shop, only because this was in his house. I purchased from the gentleman that ordered it special. Some say it was meant to be a Masse Cue

The cue is 53" long total length even split. With the shaft measuring at 13mm with and ivorine 3 ferrule and triangle tip.
The joint pin is 5/16-14 into a brass insert
The forearm is maple Burl with a kingwood collar and handle
The butt sleeve is maple Burl Butt Sleeve
The original weight of this cue is @17 oz
The cue is signed by Gene Viness and comes with a letter of Authenticity

Unplayed,

This cue is drilled and threaded for a 1/2-13 thread weight bolt or an extension , however there is no weight bolt in it

I'm looking to get $650
