How is BHE causing double hits, is he swiping the cue ball? I use BHE all the time and I don't suffer any double hits, BHE is really no different than parallel english as far as the stroke is concerned.

Yes - His cue stick literally swiped the cue ball. He called it BHE motion. The cue was clearly striking it a second time. I asked if he wanted some advice on some of his misses. I’d rather not get into his game, so I said that I’d call it next time. Fair warning?

I have a question and figured this would be the best spot...I have the JOS115, I bought in 2008 or so and everywhere I have read, they state it says it is a 4 point. Mine has 5, I assume this was a typo in the promotional verbiage? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Best thing is to ask Joss.

I just got an email from Katie at Brunswick Billiards stating that the Corvette Collector Limited Edition Series Cues were also made by Joss under Dan Janes.

That's interesting. Dan Janes once told me that if it does not say Joss on it, Joss did not make it. These cues do not say Joss on them.

Let's say you paid $30 for that 1 piece of chalk a year and 2months is 60 weeks so 30÷60=.50 so the chalk cost you 50cents a week, or about $2.00 a month, one of the cheapest luxuries in pool equipment.

I am lucky to have an abundance of high quality chalk I never paid for. Very little difference between them all in my opinion. Marginal differences at best. Lots of stuff is just rebranded or repackaged (reminds me of the current film photography market). Mezz, Taom, Pagulayan, ghost, HR, TP, the innumerate ocean of Chinese brands. Feel like I have tried everything. Like the colour, like the size and shape, like how it feels when applying. So when he gave this to me, just kept using it. In my case and no need to change. All subjective silliness really.

Gloves on the other hand...

Thank you guys for the information. I was just curious because it came from my grandma-in-law which I assume came from her husband. It also came with this insert that written by someone. I love pool but I’m not as knowledge as you guys are. (Just hitting my 30s and have been playing for 4 years now.) I just forgot all about this cue as it was in a case and put into the back of our closet before I started truly getting into it. The cue is straight and the lizard material as well as the cue looks brand new in an older case. Sorry about the misinterpretation on the Adam cue.

No worries.

Any time we see "Adams" a few people will jump on it. It's a thing. Nothing personal.

Glad you posted. If you are getting into the game, hopefully you will post and respond more here.

Yeah, I used to be able to access directly on my phone with no VPN, no problem. That stopped. Then on the business VPN wifi at work. That stopped. Now I need a personal VPN to access. Has probably been a good think for work productivity...

That's not done! Little mileage left in that. I am at the same point with a blue one. He gave me three pieces, and I am almost ready for my second piece. Very nice chalk.

If you don’t like the circular shape of TAOM, just substitute the cube version branded under Pagulayan’s name.
The reason I haven’t played with the cube TAOM chalk, i.e., Pagulayan, is because my original piece of TAOM
Is still going strong and I like to see how long it can last. I’ve been using it for 16 months & it will last at least 6
more months so that’s 2 years using the same piece of chalk. TAOM is the best pool chalk presently available.

That's one I haven't tried. I'll give it a go.
