I used a 90 degree drafting square (the right angle side of a drafting triangle).

Ball is clear of the tit at 90.

No baseball cap, get down too low on the cue and blocks / causes aiming distractions. Might try a tam one of these days...

when I wear sunglasses people can’t see me.

Samsara

I have a Gilbert J/B with 2 shafts (these shafts are almost identical in weight and feel). On one I have a samsara tip on the other I have a ultra skin HH. The samsara gives me a harder break, better jumping ability but sacrifices a bit of control compared to the ultra skin. I am still experimenting with both.

I am curious how the ultraskin hh would compare to the samsara. What are your thoughts now?
Thanks A

I don't get hats. Not for fashion anyway. Baseball cap says, "Don't play me." There's a crop of pop/jazz musicians that don berets and newsboy beanies as crowns of achievement. Those say, "I'm bad ass and not worth the listen." lol

I've been experimenting for years with elk masters and soaking and pressing them, and my experience is that a "good" elk master plays just as good if not better than any milk dud. I found a seller on Ebay that sells a bag, not box, in a genuine tweeten resealable bag of 50 count elk masters and they are the best and most consistent I have ever come across, they hit amazing, they sound great and hold chalk like nothing else. The tips have are a great height and are not fluff balls or accordions. They mostly weigh in at 85-91 grams, very dense and not dried out junk. It was hard to find once over 65g for a long time.
