Illuminated Cueing arts vs Projection Pro Billiards systems (ICATS vs PPB)

The ICA system I'd bet is also just Robin developing the drills and a programmer he hired, so just as small a company.

actually
in addition to the drills developed by robin you can buy modules from many well known instructors
the first few are the most expensive but if you keep looking there are modules by tor lowry/sharivari/ralph eckert/etc that are less expensive(be sure to check out page 2 too)

Well if that isn't Fargo 888 ghetto mentality.

Guy is a degenerate douche....
Al the cash he and Scooter were gambling years back was stolen from car wash quarter change machines. Multiple felonies, hitting them in a couple states over and over. No sane person gambles against SVB shooting spot shots....unless it was other people's money.

Now decision making I don’t feel there is much difference either, but I think there is difference between players in their BELIEF in their decisions prior to execution. Belief, and the ability to fully trust in their skills, and be fully committed to decision they make. That I don’t lump in with skill set, I put that in the heart/grit category myself. Why? Because I relate that to confidence.

Example, do you recall a match I saw you watching at the Derby in the 9 ball division between Filler/SVB? Where Filler on this occasion just tortured him 9-2 in a little over 1/2 hour? When Filler is on like that he plays extraordinarily quick, has full confidence and is fully committed to his shots. Then look at slower players that agonize over simple layouts and look at a shot, especially testers, about 4 different ways before they pull the trigger and drive it straight into a rail and dog it, kinda like Styer’s difficult moments at the recent Mosconi Cup. I don’t think there’s a big difference between those 2 players decision making skills, but there’s a huge gap in their confidence/commitment to their decisions. YMMV

iirc shane was up 2-0 and filler ran the set out, then ran 6 racks on fedor until fedor just conceded.

Great Pool Room Stories

Rusty in Montana
Thanks for the great story Jay , I knew both Lance and Billy Saunders they both hung out at the Broadwater Corner Pocket's or the one in the Heights . Paul Schmito ( question on the spelling ) would also hang out at the Empire Cafe on Montana Ave also in Billings what I can only guess would be a ring game as I never went into the Empire but I knew people who would for breakfast after working a graveyard shift .

I've lost track of Lance and sadly Billy passed away maybe Lance has too I'm not sure but I still have my Billybushka sneaky Pete that Billy was famous for making which was a Dufferin bar cue he'd add 6" to the butt section to and talk about a fun cue to play with .
To the best of my knowledge this was before or about the same time Earl Strickland started using a longer cue ?

The last I heard about Lance was that he lived in Iowa I'd enjoy catching up with him just for old times sake .

Solid vs layered tips

Frosty
I also was a single layer Triangle guy forever. Then the quality and consistency from tip to tip started varying wildly, so I started pressing them to overcome that. Recently even that solution didn’t solve the issue to my satisfaction, so I started looking for a new choice.

After a lot of research and talking to other players I know and respect, I switched recently to a layered Zan Hard. Atlas Billiard Supply is an authorized distributor so I could trust it wasn’t a fake, they’re $23 a pop. So far a month and a half in, I couldn’t be happier, 0 mushrooming, great playability, no glazing. Also per a trusted friend who has been using them for years, he says the consistency from tip to tip is always excellent. So far, so good.

There are some very awesome Tascarella cues on here. thank you all for sharing them with us.
I thought I would try to make the cut with
My new old, old school Tascarela Bushka tribute cue.

I just picked this cue up 5 weeks ago. It's at least 25 years old, that's all I have for a provenance.
This cue is a little different build compared to Pete's norm. the joint is .815
The thin satin finish is, nitro cellulose lacquer, per Pete jr.
It is heavy, the butt is @ 16.4 oz
The all acrylic?? but sleeve.
The shorter length....57 1/4 even split, measured from tip of Farrell to end of but cap.
The linen wrap may be cortland ?? Very soft and slippery.
Thanks for any comments.

Solid vs layered tips

Hard pressed Triangles for me.
The guys that are fiddling with their tips all of the time are doing so because they are playing with layered tips.
Hard pressed single layers, set em and forget em.
Run a Williards over it every once in a while.

If you want a consistent, solid tip, these are the way to go. There is something about triangles, when you get one, you like. They play amazing well, i agree too, tips today are way overpriced. Nothing wrong, with staying with what you know works!!
