He would put the balls in a wooden rack, position the rack where it belonged and then right in front of everybody pull everything behind the third row back, making a heck of a slug rack. He wasn't doing that the next year.

In all fairness he was playing very strongly otherwise too. The cue ball was on the rail just above the side pocket maybe four inches or so, an object ball across the table from it. Very close to even, I don't think anyone else considered the safety Corey shot There were a few possible shots for Corey all looking like more risk than reward. He eyeballed things awhile then shot across the table for a perfect speed single ball safety. His opponent had to think awhile and I think his opponent was Efren. Might have been Jason Miller. Either way, when you are in at least third out of three or four hundred players you ain't doing shabby!

Hi, I do not understand the slug rack thing. This was 9 ball? What balls were touching, and which ones were not? Just really curious. Thanks.

I always thought it was a recent rule to me ( maybe in the 90s) I could be wrong but everyone there seems like it is been that forever

my eight-ball team lost a city league championship one season in Toledo, Ohio on the last game of the playoff match when we were even up & I broke & ran out but had to stretch to reach the eight ball & didn't have my one foot Flat on the floor (Toledo Pool League rules) so I lost the game & the championship, Pretty Nitt Picky to say the least but a rule is a rule !

Springfield Cues CF shaft reviews?

F
Just my own two cents here...
Unlike most (or all) others posting on this topic, I've actually visited Springfield Cues, met Doug and learned a lot about him, his passion and the hard work he's put into this. Isolated complaints from years ago don't carry much weight, IMO. Every business has growing pains. Having a "placeholder" picture on the website is not ideal, but not uncommon either.
For what it's worth, I would have no reservations buying the products offered by this company.

I like it very much! I sometimes wish it was maybe just a little softer, but a couple of my favorite players are wrapless, so I don't mind a hard grip. It serves its purpose very well and is incredibly well applied. I find it quite hard to detect the seam. Same for the previous Cuelees I had - the Tyrant 2.

Seeing the contact point on the object ball.

me and @straightline have a long on line history and he promotes/prophesizes/invented? contact point geometry concept
thats the CBG under his screen name
so in the comment above about physics above
i posted to tease him alittle
regardinig physics
i think you can play world class and have no clue to explain the physics involved in the collisions ,spins and rebounds on a table
but subconsciously you understand whats going to happen when you do this that happens
i also think knowing the physics can be helpful if your the analytical type and that knowledge helps you
@Patrick Johnson responded to @jasonlaus
with this post which i agree with

That's a choice, not a fact.

Underappreciated Cue Makers Section

Wrong forum. You need to take this to the for sale section.

It is not the wrong forum by eligibility. His post is pool related and is merely an expression of his intention to sell. He can change his mind and never post it for sale. He didn’t assign a price or even state it was for sale, nor did he imply interested parties should contact him. It is a legit post showing us a cue he owns that he may or may not sell. You’d be a terrible moderator not to recognize this is okay to be here but report the thread to the Mods and find out for yourself.

Anything pool related can be posted here and once you turn it into a actual for sale thread, then the mods have to step in otherwise this forum would get flooded. But meanwhile if a reader sees this very cue and likes it so much that he contacts the owner via PM. If they come to terms and he buys the cue, that’s kosher and he’s denying no one else the chance to acquire that cue. Anyone interested in possibly buying just has to use a little boarding house reach. Get off your ass and contact the poster using PM and tell them you’re interested in buying the cue and could you get it?

The main forum is for a public exchange of information, opinions that are pool related. Hey, but I’m also not a moderator. I’m just going by the rules as I know them to be and applying the rules on a case by case basis.

Yeah, anyone that takes 6 hours to rack the balls is OCD.

Corey came in second or third at Derby City about twenty years ago. Rack your own and I didn't see anybody contesting Corey blatantly slug racking. He would put the balls in a wooden rack, position the rack where it belonged and then right in front of everybody pull everything behind the third row back, making a heck of a slug rack. He wasn't doing that the next year.

In all fairness he was playing very strongly otherwise too. The cue ball was on the rail just above the side pocket maybe four inches or so, an object ball across the table from it. Very close to even, I don't think anyone else considered the safety Corey shot There were a few possible shots for Corey all looking like more risk than reward.
