Collision Control And Avoidance

you do need to go three rails or you may not get on the correct side of the 4 ball

you need to be about where you are now on that side of the 4. otherwise you start the progression to get out of position on the 6 to get an easy shot on the 8. then you can get into a bad spot and not get out.

think more balls ahead here.

Three, two, make a billiard instead...

DCP just making post about the funny Diamond banks.

You can do a lot of things to get three; like slam the shot with some inside so it goes deeper into the second rail.

Built by a National Champion

I know Chuck. Haven't seen him for a few years. Hope he's OK!

Side Bar: Maybe once a year I pick my Sims cue and play for an hour or so.

Harry's cues weren't a known for elite construction/science. He had in his mind (contrary to others) on geometry of a finished cue should be.
Screw the others.

He took a lot of grief from the elite cue owners/buyers.

When I pull that cue off my rack I see nothing wrong with how I feel with it. Sometimes I wonder why I went away from it. My answer for that is that Harry told me himself, it was time to move on. He suggested Longoni.

I played with My Longoni for 10 years? Thank you again Deno.

OK so here's why I wrote so much history.

I decided I couldn't live without a Dieckman cue. I found his phone number and called him to order a cue. Dennis didn't work that way. He had his own way with nearly everything. To make a very long story short, Dennis asked me to measure my shafts diameter inch by inch.

Dennis said that's very close to my modified European/universal shaft taper.

Very cool. Thank you.

Well, he certainly knew how to use a cue, so I think he knew a thing or two about how to design and build one.

No, not fancy. Yes, not a straight up pro-taper nor a carom billiard taper, something in between. At least that's the case with the few I have seen.

I am thinking about contacting Chuck to see if he wants to tell a few old stories.

The Pause

S
There's also the rhythm (for lack of a better word) (FLOABW ?) of a sequence. Players with smooth chops can breeze through racks if the easy ones come up. Most prefer the safety of sane tempi and assured consistency. One thing that might help this group is to number the shots in a sequence. If you have 5 shots to get out, make sure you are aware of this and also count them as you go. At the very least, you wont interrupt yourself to breathe before you're done.
I think counting shots can help fortify the idea and ability of doing longer licks.

Warning, this is an advanced and highly technical method. If you experience runs longer than 8 racks, consult an instructor for assistance in managing the issue.

Any of these Le Pros good?

I was going through some stuff and found this old box of Le Pro’s. IIRC, the ones smooth on the bottom are supposed to be the “good ones”, is that correct?

Good ones, yes, then you can tap the group that shows Very little grain, and the sounds will tell you the hardness that hardened group which is likely to be what your looking for. Always used the good ones for the Players.
Prchased many boxes.... Ran a room for four yrs, had my own lathe set up at home.
I usually found 8-10 good hard Le Pros in the box, kept those.... others went on the Dufferin House cues.
