Rogers and Wiley split top prizes at Q City 9-Ball Tour’s 6th Annual Anthony Mabe Memorial

azhousepro
As of this past weekend, Jason Rogers had won his first and latest regional pool tour event, on the Q City 9-Ball Tour, 11 years apart. His first (known) win was recorded with us in August of 2015, at Breaktime Billiards in Cary, NC. His latest, of three wins recorded on the tour since then, happened when he went undefeated to the hot seat of the $250-added, 6th Annual Anthony Mabe Memorial, which drew 26 entrants to Dot’s Cue Club in Rocky Mount, NC. He’d chalked up tour win #2 at a stop last April in the same location. He […]

So a pendulum stroke is not OK? And “naming any muscle”?

Sorry, man, but I can’t figure out what you’re trying to say. Maybe another topic/thread someday…

It's simple. The mechanics of a stable elbow from transition to delivery is fantastic.

Attempting to drive that stroke with elvow flexors in isolation is terrible.

I never expressed issue with the mechanics. Just the awful force production advice. Take, "leave stroking to the subconscious" everyday and twice on sunday. Maybe don't be too upset if your elbow ossilates a quarter of an inch as a result.

Has Anyone Ever Seen This?

On the other hand, if the table is filthy and worn but not torn, and your receipts are down for the summer so recovering is months away, and the slate is a one-piece, and last night someone doubled the total area of the beer stains, a good washing could actually help.

I played in one carom room where the cushions were a "little dirty" and if you ran your finger nail along the nose, you would get dirty grease under your nail. Really. Usually carom tables are kept better than pool tables, because the cushions and cloth affect every shot. That room could have used some soap and water and not just for the tables.

On my first Predator cue (98-1), I had the pre-cat logo, my later shafts (that I still own) are all 314-2
I did not feel any difference in the hit when I got the newer shafts. it did have a shorter ferrule with less front end mass and improved performance.
This is all in people's heads, just like saying that CF feels dead...

Over the years, I've tried many LD shafts from different brands and of course also CF shafts that claim to be LD, none perform as well as the 314-2 in terms of low deflection. The original OB shaft, the Revo 12.9 and the SMO 12.5 are the only that come close.
** Maybe there are some shafts out there that are as good or even better, I've tried a lot but not all of them...

Have you tested the 314-3?
