Sawdust 2020 cue

This cue is sold now and some one is trying to scam others with my photos the real buyer will speak up on this post
Hi Ron, that’s right.

Please ignore any inquiries or for sale text messages from 224-543-0171.

Ron has a 951 number in case anybody is wondering. Ron is a GREAT guy.

The scammer literally took a pic with today’s date and the cue, these guys are getting good. There were tells within his efforts to scam that threw up red flags. Wouldn’t accept PP goods and services, ignored questions, wouldn’t take phone calls, etc

Be careful out there folks.

How to find a good Pool instructor?

How about near 19422.... I use SPF by way of Scott Lee RIP. Will not change that. Went from all over the place to can play good enough to enjoy the game and occasionally play over my head. My runs went from 3-6 to 6-15plus. Had a few 1p 8n out's. Lately I can't pocket balls...I feel like quitting I'm that disgusted. One reason is I just had cataracts that are amazing but sensitive to extreme bright light on top of the table. My concentration, drive, etc. varies. Another is wrist twist. Maybe I'm trying to hard.. Not as fired up as I was or should be....but still hear the table calling me. Does it take an instructor to get back on track? Maybe a few sessions. Since we are on the subject..Who are the master stroke instructors in Phila/Montgomery County, Pa. Thanks

Have you read, 'the inner game of tennis', and 'sports psyching'? Both of those books not only got me back on track, but changed my attitude. 'sports psyching' went deep into the different reasons people complete and what type of performer a person is. I found that I tended to put looking good over winning. If I made an awesome shot or great shape in a game I had accomplished my internal goal. Knowing this made me change my conscious goal and my subconscious goals to better align. I learned to be okay with an ugly win, or even playing to not lose when necessary. I cut down on the hero shots and started winning... And being happier when I lost.

Learn to enjoy it for the process, not the result.

And I'm not a damn hippy, even if this post makes me sound like one

Interesting article on the decline of Bowling

Those bowling prices are outrageous.

Expect to average $50/person
I just checked out the prices as I had no idea, for the bowling alley by me where we also shoot pool. This is where they hold state tmts and the 2nd biggest bowling lanes in Wisconsin.
They charge $32 an hr for a lane with up to 6 people. They have an summer pass with unlimited bowling for $120 good for anyone. Fantastic price for someone with a kid that likes bowling.

Interesting article on the decline of Bowling

Bowling is big by us, three bowling alleys that I know of, with one of them so big they hold state tmts there and multiple leagues nightly. This place also has pool tables there where my wife and I first started shooting leagues about 7 years ago. They had 6 Valley tables, very well maintained with Championship Tour cloth. There were two leagues a week there when we started then covid hit and another place in town with 6 tables pulled all their tables out.
The bowling alley worked with us and brought in two more tables so we now had 8, and we were able to give all those displaced league players a place to continue playing by not only having more tables but also having leagues 3 nights a week.
After a couple years of this, the three person teams were complaining of seating room. They brought this up to the bowling alley and they had a spare much larger room on the other end that they remodeled for us, all new perimeter lighting, and all new high sitting tables, 2 per pool table. Fantastic room.
Now, with another 8 table room opening up 15 miles down the road with Diamond tables, there was talk of how nice it would be to have Diamond tables also at the bowling alley and when brought up to the owner they have ordered 8 Diamond tables to replace the well maintained Valleys. They now have streaming of tmts and Friday and Saturday tmts also. We actually shoot at leagues at both places, pool is strong, well managed and growing here, as is bowling, bowling and pool can exist in the same place with a well run pool league management and supportive bowling alley owner.
Funny side note on bowling. This little farm town by me, with a population under 1100, has two bowling alleys, small, only a few lanes but two of them with leagues also.
What area are you writing about? Sounds like a great place for pool and bowling.

Pechauer Cues

Most people dont want a flashy cue that begs to get stolen.. I'm the only one who needs to know I'm holding money...

camouflage

When I see a newer Joss, the ebay Dale Perry cues come to mind. I think they look very similar. Both have very generic looking points, and very low grade curly maple in the forearms.

I will admit that the huge difference is that the Joss would hit far better then the ebay Dale Perry cue. I speak of the DP cues with the Brass Plated Radial pins.

How to find a good Pool instructor?

@cueball2010

As others have posted, you can check for a PBIA instructor. You might be able to ask in the "Ask the Instructor" forum as well, to maybe find someone in your area.

That being said, I'm curious as to what you are looking to learn about "English"--which I am quoting, but assuming you mean *side* spin? Your showing as an APA 5/8 and 6/9, so I would think you already have skills with spin, but what are you trying to improve? [Side note: I may use some BHE, but mostly emply FHE. I really don't know of anyone that uses Parallel, but I haven't really studied it, or taken a poll!]
There are no instructors within an hour of me on PBIA.

Yes, I know how english/side spin works off rails, object balls, CB position, spin throw, swerve, 1/4-2 tips squirt. But seeing Dr. Dave talk about 30%BHE/70%FHE shots of different length and speed made me think there are some undiscovered aspects of English that could simplify all the calculations.

Honestly, I just started paying more attention to English. So my knowledge is much greater then my experience. As others have mentioned, I should probably just rack up hours, because it doesn't sound like there is a magic pill that can be bought.

As far as what skills should be in my arsenal at my level... I am confident I could be a 5/6 without ever touching english/side spin. And I am confident I won't get any higher without English or side spin. No, I do not consider draw and follow as English.

Sold FS: Meucci The Pro shaft (from Kevin Cheng BMC cue)

This was one of the original shafts that came with the 2010 Meucci Kevin Cheng ebony BMC cue when I purchased it.

29-1/4", 12.45mm, 3.7oz, 20.55mm.

Straight, smooth, zero dings.

I think this is what Meucci call diamond collar pattern (same as what they put on the new JS models).

$SOLD.

When I was a kid, summer afternoons was a dime a game, free shoes.
You could duck in the on-site barber shop and buy an ice cold 6.5 oz. bottle of Coke for another dime.
The Gottlieb pinball machines in the small arcade cost a nickle.

Two bits went a long way back then.
